Made from over 1,100 images captured by NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the video begins with a close-up of two galaxies then zooms out to reveal about 10 million galaxies. Those 10 million ...

Early in his career, Karl Jakobs worked on physics experiments that had a few hundred collaborators and operated for roughly a decade. “In the 1980s and 1990s, the experiments were smaller, and there ...

Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: Stars are dying; comets are flying; and supermassive black holes are growing ever more ...

For centuries, scientists thought the universe was filled with a mysterious substance called the luminiferous ether, a medium they believed carried light waves through otherwise empty space. In 1887, ...

A very quirky quark Physicist Christian Schwanenberger has been studying the top quark since 2004. “I arrived a Fermilab nine years after the discovery,” says Schwanenberger, a scientist at DESY and ...

Yesterday, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN reported a new milestone in our understanding of the subtle yet profound ...

Getting there Before building the DUNE detectors, scientists must test and validate their technology. Scientists at European research center CERN have taken on this task by building and operating a ...

In the late 1890s, physicist Max Planck proposed a set of units to simplify the expression of physics laws. Using just five constants in nature (including the speed of light and the gravitational ...

In 2017, Savannah Thais attended the NeurIPS machine-learning conference in Long Beach, California, hoping to learn about techniques she could use in her doctoral work on electron identification.

The best of both worlds Collider experiments crash beams of particles, pumped full of energy, into one another or into a target. In the crash, all of that energy can briefly convert into new particles ...

In the beginning, a spaceship called the Yggdrasil is sailing through the cosmos to find a new home for its long-term inhabitants. Suddenly, the ship is hit by a stray asteroid, damaging the hydrogen ...
