CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) whose participants include a UT physicist delivered recommendations to decision makers. ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

It’s funny how the most intimate dilemmas can mirror the largest scientific questions. For example: Should the U.S. spend $5 billion or more on a new particle accelerator? And if so, what kind? The ...

Naples, Italy — Beneath the honking horns and operatic yelling of Naples, the most blissfully chaotic city in Italy, archeologist Raffaella Bosso descends into the deafening silence of an underground ...

A team of more than 100 researchers working at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe may have just witnessed the first direct evidence of a theoretical particle called an odderon. The LHC, the world's ...

The muon is a tiny particle, but it has the giant potential to upend our understanding of the subatomic world and reveal an undiscovered type of fundamental physics. The muon is a tiny particle, but ...

Scientists from around the world are at Brown to discuss what is known, and what needs to be learned, about the long-sought particle discovered a decade ago.

In the coming weeks, Symmetry will explore the ways scientists are using artificial intelligence to advance particle physics and astrophysics—in a series of articles written and illustrated entirely ...

Before the Ancient Romans, it was the Ancient Greeks who colonized Naples, leaving behind traces of life, and death, inside ancient burial chambers, she says. She points a flashlight at a stone-relief ...
