Brookhaven Lab’s 1958 innovation earns a prominent place in the history of video games. The crowd wound out the door at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s open house on October 18, 1958. Visitors lined up for an interactive exhibit, designed by... Continue reading →

Scientists planning the next decade in US particle physics consider what we can learn from fundamental particles called neutrinos. We live in a galaxy permeated with tiny particles called neutrinos. Trillions of them stream through each of us each se... Continue reading →

From new medicines to cancer treatment, the tools of particle physics play an important role in hospitals around the world. The same particle-physics technology used to understand the universe is also used to improve health and medicine. Accelerators... Continue reading →

Particle astrophysicists are helping illuminate the dark side of the universe for a new show at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Planetarium shows are a wonderful way to introduce people to the beauty of the night sky. Sit bac... Continue reading →

This weekend, a panel developing a new strategic plan for US particle physics will hold the first in a series of town hall meetings. Saturday begins a new stage in the process that will set priorities for US particle physics research for the coming d... Continue reading →

Traces of iron distributed smoothly throughout a massive galaxy cluster tell a 10-billion-year-old story of cosmic evolution. New evidence of heavy elements spread evenly between the galaxies of the giant Perseus cluster supports the theory that the ... Continue reading →

The mystery of dark matter remains after the world’s most sensitive dark-matter detector reveals its first result. In its first three months of running, the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment saw no signs of dark matter—refuting ... Continue reading →

Particle physics has revolutionized the way we look at the universe. Along the way, it’s made significant impacts on other fields of science, improved daily life for people around the world and trained a new generation of scientists and computing... Continue reading →
