For more than two decades, amateur photographer Dale Carter has documented the physicists who come to the Black Hills for their research.
The demonstration of the first antimatter quantum bit paves the way for substantially improved tests of nature’s fundamental symmetries.
Scientists on the ATLAS experiment explored the polarization of W bosons to test the Higgs mechanism and gain a deeper ...
Astronomers knew the James Webb Space Telescope would reveal new things about the cosmos. The most powerful space telescope ever built, JWST can look deeper into the universe—and thus farther back in ...
A large and unexpected excess of top quark pairs has the physics community excited, but the interpretation is still up for debate. In 1995, Alexander Grohsjean cut out a story from the local German ...
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 ...
Neutrinos are notoriously aloof, but it’s not entirely their fault. Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, and they are everywhere. Every second, more than 6 trillion ...
Documenting the work of building the world’s largest neutrino experiment presents photographers with a unique set of challenges.
Once a year, the Large Hadron Collider smashes lead ions. But how do scientists get a heavy metal into a particle accelerator?
The Planck scale sets the universe’s minimum limit, beyond which the laws of physics break. In the late 1890s, physicist Max Planck proposed a set of units to simplify the expression of physics laws.
