This month, about 30 instructors and 50 students traveled from around Africa and the rest of the world to gather at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology for three and a half weeks of training in physics and computing. Continue reading →

It’s not every day a physics student ends up singing happy birthday to a classmate with a group of top scientists from around the globe. Continue reading →

Scientists at the Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory in Argentina recently tested the theory that governs the behavior of protons, the particles that collide in the Large Hadron Collider, at energies inaccessible at the LHC. Continue reading →

Before accelerator physicists can declare the discovery of a Higgs boson or any other new addition to the particle zoo, they need to prove they understand the particles they’re colliding. Scientists at the Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory in Argen... Continue reading →

Scientists using Harvard's Odyssey high-performance supercomputer have created the most realistic simulation of cosmic evolution to date. Continue reading →
