A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now helping them narrow in on a rare and messy decay of the Higgs boson. Physicist ...
If your dataset is so voluminous, or it arrives at such high velocity, or it contains such great variety, that you must reimagine the way you use it—you have a big data problem. Google, for example, ...
Writer Chetna Krishna follows CERN’s “coolest” transport, a test of a system to ship stored antimatter across the continent. I reach CERN’s Antimatter Factory at 8 a.m. sharp. I’m here at the ...
An advisory committee recommends the US work to advance three key areas of emerging accelerator technology. To study some of the smallest things in the universe, particle physicists use some of the ...
A professor at the University of Tennessee reimagines the way we teach STEM with a science-fiction story-based class. In the beginning, a spaceship called the Yggdrasil is sailing through the cosmos ...
The ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed a process 4,000 times rarer than the production of Higgs bosons. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have successfully detected the production of a quartet of top ...
Most astronomers trek to the mountaintops to study the stars, but a group of physicists are seeking the secrets of the cosmos with a detector at the bottom of the ocean. Deep underwater, far off the ...
Threats of scorching heat, walls of tumbleweed, and countless critters mean innovation is a must for the facilities manager for LIGO Hanford Observatory. Glynn “Bubba” Gateley is not a physicist. And ...
With CMB-S4, scientists hope to connect a sandy desert with a polar desert—and revolutionize our understanding of the early universe. In the 1960s, an anomalous, faint electromagnetic glow was ...
Scientists are using a detector originally designed to study neutrinos to pin down an elusive nuclear physics measurement. In Greek mythology, the Olympic gods punished the demigod Tantalus by ...
As we step into the quantum age, here are four things to know about quantum networks. Four years, four months, and twelve days ago, a photon—a particle of light—left Proxima Centauri, the closest star ...
A technique from the newest generation of quantum sensors is helping scientists to use the limitations of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to their advantage. In the 1960s, researchers at the ...
