Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: Stars are dying; comets are flying; and supermassive black holes are growing ever more ...

For centuries, scientists thought the universe was filled with a mysterious substance called the luminiferous ether, a medium they believed carried light waves through otherwise empty space. In 1887, ...

A very quirky quark Physicist Christian Schwanenberger has been studying the top quark since 2004. “I arrived a Fermilab nine years after the discovery,” says Schwanenberger, a scientist at DESY and ...

Yesterday, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN reported a new milestone in our understanding of the subtle yet profound ...

The fate of the universe hinges on the balance between matter and dark energy: the fundamental ingredient that drives its accelerating expansion. New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic ...

Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, and they are everywhere. Every second, more than 6 trillion neutrinos cruise in between the molecules of water and caffeine in your ...

Getting there Before building the DUNE detectors, scientists must test and validate their technology. Scientists at European research center CERN have taken on this task by building and operating a ...

In 2017, Savannah Thais attended the NeurIPS machine-learning conference in Long Beach, California, hoping to learn about techniques she could use in her doctoral work on electron identification.

In the beginning, a spaceship called the Yggdrasil is sailing through the cosmos to find a new home for its long-term inhabitants. Suddenly, the ship is hit by a stray asteroid, damaging the hydrogen ...

The ATLAS and CMS experiments have successfully detected the production of a quartet of top quarks during high-energy proton collisions inside the Large Hadron Collider. Four-top production is 4,000 ...
