Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

As well as particle physics, neutrinos touch astroparticle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, nuclear physics and geophysics, ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...

In two new experiments, scientists will search for a negatively charged muon, the electron’s more massive cousin, decaying into an electron. This would violate the Standard Model. These experiments, ...

The SMSPDs can precisely detect single particles at a time. The detectors were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs. Credit: Cristián Peña, Fermilab To learn more ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

The University of Liverpool’s experimental particle physics group has secured £5.9 million in funding from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) to support its internationally leading ...
