The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI) recently concluded its 40th year, bringing 65 students from around the world to Boulder to delve into the “Frontiers of ...

Physics Nobel Laureate John Martinis discussed his quantum physics research and offered academic advice to a packed ...

An MIT-led team has found that data from “near-misses” at the Large Hadron Collider, long dismissed as background noise, can be mined for rare photon-photon interactions that test the boundaries of ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Workshops around the world train science teachers to incorporate particle physics into their classrooms. Picture this: A stationary object such as a vase suddenly explodes, sending fragments flying.

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...
