A new review in Nature chronicles the many ways machine learning is popping up in particle physics research.
Some scientists spend decades trying to catch a glimpse of a rare process. But with good experimental design and a lot of luck, they often need only a handful of signals to make a discovery.
Work has begun on an upgrade to the Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Watch SLAC theorist Lance Dixon write out a new formula that will contribute to a better understanding of certain particle collisions.
This neutrino-watchers season preview will give you the rundown on what to expect to come out of neutrino research in the coming years.
Fermilab is providing technology and expertise for the SuperCDMS SNOLAB project, which will expand the hunt for dark matter to particles with properties not visible to any other experiment.
Approaching retirement, Jean Deken describes what it’s like to preserve decades of collective scientific memory at a national lab.
