Scientists at the Pierre Auger Observatory recently tested the theory that governs the behavior of protons at energies inaccessible at the Large Hadron Collider.
This summer, particle astrophysicists studied a supernova remnant located about 3000 light years away and discovered what is best described as a particle collider in space.
Thanks to a new phased construction plan, the proposed Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment is back on track and ready to advance to the next stage of the U.S. Department of Energy approval process.
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider weren’t the only ones to discover a Higgs-like particle. When we asked symmetry breaking readers to send us their own evidence of a Higgs boson, they sent a massive outpouring of creative candidates.
The Fermi Research Alliance (FRA) Board of Directors, which manages and operates Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, announced that Fermilab Director Pier Oddone has decided to retire after eight years at the helm of America’s leading particle physics laboratory.
About 80,000 people visit the Large Hadron Collider each year. Now, thanks to the Web, thousands more can make the visit—without ever leaving their hometowns.
