The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI) recently concluded its 40th year, bringing 65 students from around the world to Boulder to delve into the “Frontiers of ...

For more than half a century, particle physicists have theorized the existence of a “glueball,” a particle made entirely of gluons. While the past few decades have produced some compelling candidates, ...

How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are? In experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, physicists smash ...

We propose a novel framework that combines state-of-the-art deep learning approaches with pre- and post-processing algorithms for particle detection in complex/heterogeneous backgrounds common in the ...

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 ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

With recent studies having established the presence of nano and microplastic particles in the respiratory systems of both human and bird populations, new research has modeled what happens when people ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...

Gravity is a bully it pushes particles around so much on Earth that we rarely see their true nature. This is a feeling now ...

Scientists seeking the secrets of the universe would like to make a model that shows how all of nature’s forces and particles fit together. It would be nice to do it with Legos. But perhaps a better ...
