The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

The innovative Celeritas project, led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, provides a software tool that makes sure simulations used to analyze particles can run on the fastest ...

A is of Accelerator, B is for Black hole, C is for Cryostat! Those are just a few of the particle physics lessons your kids will get from Symmetry Magazine’s new lovely, animated alphabet book that ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

When trying to answer questions as deep as “what makes up the universe,” advance planning is key. On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a ...

The ABCs of Particle Physics is available online and at public libraries and stores near Fermilab and SLAC. For lovers of rhymes and anthropomorphic Higgs bosons, Symmetry presents its first published ...

The field of high-energy physics is devoted to the study of the elementary constituents of matter. By investigating the structure of matter and the laws that govern its interactions, this field ...

Physicists at Cern have discovered a plethora of new exotic particles being created in the collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider over the past few years. So many have been found, in fact, ...

UChicago physics Prof. Bonnie Fleming, who is also the chief research officer at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, is ...

The $10 billion, 17-mile-long Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has lain dormant for two years while engineers revamped it to hurl particles at even greater speeds. Physicists think the near-light-speed ...
