After nearly a decade of planning, prototyping and construction, the Short-Baseline Near Detector collaboration is in the final stretch of commissioning of their detector.
Hidden particles that physicists are looking for have proved more elusive than many expected, but the search is not over—nature has just forced them to get more creative.
Theoretical physicists use machine-learning algorithms to speed up difficult calculations and eliminate untenable theories—but could they transform what it means to make discoveries?
