The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment aims to discover whether neutrinos violate the fundamental matter–antimatter symmetry of physics. The US Department of Energy has approved the conceptual design of a new experiment that will be a major tes... Continue reading →

Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider reached a milestone in data collection just before the accelerator’s last collisions for the next two years. A collective library of every written word, in every language, would contain about 50 petabyte... Continue reading →

For years, scientists thought that neutrinos fit perfectly into the Standard Model. But they don't. By better understanding these strange, elusive particles, scientists seek to better understand the workings of all the universe, one discovery at a ... Continue reading →

A new documentary about the people and science of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is now available on YouTube. When Clayton Brown and Monica Long Ross were commissioned to direct a new documentary about Fermilab, they had a couple of questions.... Continue reading →

Cool-down begins in preparation for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider’s next run. The refrigeration system at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is humming to life today, beginning the cool-down of magnets in the 2.4-mile-circumference accel... Continue reading →

It's time to cast your vote for this year's Particle Physics Photowalk winner. Last September, hundreds of amateur and professional photographers streamed into particle physics laboratories around the world to photograph state-of-the-art equi... Continue reading →

Long-term funding and support for science pays huge dividends from unexpected discoveries and applications—even when the potential impact is unclear at the time of discovery. Amid the worldwide excitement of the recent discovery of what may be... Continue reading →

Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider made a major discovery, but the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator is just getting started. The Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle accelerator in the world, started colli... Continue reading →
