2024年12月3日 · Jeff Wiener manages a program that annually brings 1,000 teachers to CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, training them to teach particle physics in their classrooms back home.

2023年8月15日 · With enough time and magnifying power, a telescope can gather all the light it needs to create a pretty complete portrait of a single, distant galaxy.

A word with CERN’s next Director-General. Mark Thomson is professor of experimental particle physics at the University of Cambridge and was executive chair of the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) until his confirmation as CERN’s next Director-General by the CERN Council in December.

The particles we’re made of. About 99 percent of your body is made up of atoms of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. You also contain much smaller amounts of the other elements that are essential for life.

An alternative to the Higgs. The most popular theory proposes a completely new mass mechanism at play that is not within the Standard Model, one which introduces an entirely new particle.

2021年10月12日 · Building galaxies. Although there are theories about when and how each type of dark-matter candidate would have formed, the only thing scientists know for sure is that dark matter was already around about 75,000 years after the Big Bang.

2018年10月18日 · 3. Why is there so much matter in the universe? Whenever a particle of matter comes into being—for example, in a particle collision in the Large Hadron Collider or in the decay of another particle—normally its antimatter counterpart comes along for the ride.

Space-Time/Field. Visualizing four dimensions—three of space, and one of time—is difficult for our perceptions. This painting is my reflection on this challenge; the attached spiraling black and white lines represent space-time and fields.

2016年7月28日 · KATRIN’s odyssey. People went to great lengths, traveling almost 9000 kilometers over more than 60 days, to deliver an essential, 200-ton component of the KATRIN neutrino experiment.

2025年1月7日 · 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 for building some of humanity’s biggest science experiments. The Large Hadron Collider in Europe ...
