From bits to qubits
Quantum computers go beyond the binary.
DUNE collaboration starts production of components for its gigantic neutrino detector
As part of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, a UK-US collaboration is preparing for industrial scale production of large particle detector components. This fall, it’s taking the first ones for a final test-drive.
How to be a better mentor (and mentee)
Building a fulfilling mentor-mentee relationship requires agency and investment from both parties.
Teaching a particle detector new tricks
Scientists from Fermilab and other institutions hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized, with CMS, they may already have the detector to do it.
Can light melt atoms into goo?
The ATLAS experiment at CERN sees possible evidence of quark-gluon plasma production during collisions between photons and heavy nuclei inside the Large Hadron Collider.
LHCb discovers longest-lived exotic matter yet
The newly discovered tetraquark provides a unique window into the interactions of the particles that make up atoms.
How to be human in physics
Four physicists, including Fermilab’s Claire Lee, share their experiences dealing with major setbacks, trauma, mental health issues and toxic work environments.
The odd(eron) couple
Scientists discovered a new particle by comparing data recorded at the Large Hadron Collider and the Tevatron.
The next supercollider
What does it take to envision and build a seemingly impossible particle accelerator? The results of these discussions will shape the next 100 years of particle physics research.
