Researchers make progress on a vexing problem about how black holes evolve.

Learn about the Standard Model of particle physics and how physicists use it to predict the (subatomic) future.
Steve Tammes’ love of physics began with his grandfather’s tales about Fermilab.
Today, more than 90% of the indexed articles in the natural sciences are published in English. That wasn’t always the case.
Higgs-boson pairs could help scientists understand the stability of our universe. The trick is finding them.
Missing visits to the museum? Or in need of some home-school activities? Check out these five do-it-yourself physics demos from Ketevan Akhobadze, an exhibit developer for the Lederman Science Center at Fermilab.
Scientists in Latin America recently published the first coordinated plan for the region’s research in high-energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Fermilab scientist Marcela Carena was part of the group that collected input for the report. Here, she weighs in its significance.
The observatory has made detailed information about an initial selection of its recorded cosmic-ray events available for outside scientists to use.
Symmetry writer Sarah Charley answers life and relationship questions through the lens of fundamental physics. Instead of using analogies from elsewhere in life to explain science, she’ll use physics analogies to explore human nature. This time, she tackles unwanted gifts, when to give up on a dream and how friendships might be like Newtonian mechanics.
Later this decade, the Large Hadron Collider will be upgraded to the High-Luminosity LHC. What does “luminosity” mean in particle physics, and why measure it instead of collisions?
