A dark-energy detector under development at Fermilab uses a different technique to generate full-color images of astronomical objects. The power of the 570-megapixel Dark Energy Camera, which is mapping the southern sky in unprecedented detail, lies ... Continue reading →

Through ‘spooky action at a distance,’ the properties of two systems remain correlated even after they are separated. Quantum entanglement happens when two systems—such as two particles—interact. They develop correlations between thei... Continue reading →

In the second installment in a series, symmetry interviews four more physicists you can follow on Twitter. Social media has opened new channels of communication—between entertainers and audiences, businesses and consumers, representatives and const... Continue reading →

Scientists who need to test parts for experiments at the Large Hadron Collider are taking advantage of Fermilab's Test Beam Facility. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider put up with a lot. Not only do they withstand the hundreds of millions ... Continue reading →

The ASACUSA collaboration at CERN has successfully performed a new technique that will help them study the properties of antimatter. Scientists on an antimatter experiment at CERN announced today that they have successfully produced the first-ever be... Continue reading →

Want more insight into the world of particle physics? In this series, symmetry recommends scientists to follow on Twitter. Sometimes a physics fan wants to know more than just the science headlines. Luckily, there’s another way to plug in to the pa... Continue reading →

CERN’s ATLAS experiment helps inspire a high school physics teacher to give students a more authentic research experience. When Deborah Roudebush started as a high school physics teacher 27 years ago, she taught science the same way she had bee... Continue reading →

Scientists studying five years of data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have found the first gamma-ray variable pulsar. But is it really what it seems? Astrophysicists studying the gamma-ray sky have gone back over five years of survey data f... Continue reading →
