A professor at the University of Tennessee reimagines the way we teach STEM with a science-fiction story-based class.

In the culmination of a decade’s worth of effort, the DES collaboration of scientists analyzed an unprecedented sample of more than 1,500 supernovae classified using machine learning. They placed the strongest constraints on the expansion of the universe ever obtained with the DES supernova survey. While consistent with the current standard cosmological model, the results do not rule out a more complex theory that the density of dark energy in the universe could have varied over time.

In Her Space, Her Time, physicist Shohini Ghose elucidates the stories of women scientists who contributed to and led some of the biggest breakthroughs in astronomy and physics.

Scientists on the ATLAS collaboration performed the highest-energy measurement of quantum entanglement.

After twenty years of research, development, testing and production, the United States is now shipping state-of-the-art superconducting accelerator magnets to CERN for the high-luminosity upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider. At the heart of these powerful magnets is a new superconducting material used for the first time in a particle accelerator.

The ATLAS collaboration recently measured the strength of the strong force to a record level of precision, but there’s still long way to go toward understanding this fundamental force.

The 2023 P5 report represents the major activity in the field of particle physics that delivers recommendations to U.S. funding agencies.

From symmetry magazine: In the culmination of a U.S. community planning process that began in late 2020, the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel has approved the recommendations of the P5 report.

On Nov. 17, representatives of funding agencies from five countries signed a memorandum of understanding, affirming their commitment to contribute to the construction of components for DUNE.

Electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force are two distinct fundamental forces. That wasn’t always the case.
