At a fundamental level, what is our Universe made of? This question has driven physics forward for centuries. Even with all the advances we've made, we still don't know it all. While the Large Hadron ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

NASA’s recent detection of unusual signals emerging from Antarctica’s ice sheet has sparked a flurry of questions among the ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sparked worldwide excitement in March as particle physicists reported tantalizing evidence for new physics — potentially a new force of nature. Now, our new result, yet ...
