The goal of high energy physics (also known as particle physics) is to determine the most fundamental building blocks of matter and to understand the interactions between these particles. The ...

There may be an ultraheavy explanation for the mystery surrounding the origins of the highest-energy particles ever observed.

New analyses by the IceCube observatory could help scientists understand where neutrinos form and what is producing them ...

One important challenge is developing a range of specialized materials that can contain an extremely hot, radiation-emitting ...

Proton beams are not only used in sophisticated nuclear physics experiments. Today, they are becoming increasingly popular in ...

When you hear the word "Work" what is the first thing you think of? When you hear the word, "Work," what is the first thing you think of? Maybe sitting at a desk? Maybe plowing a field? Maybe working ...

Physics is good at explaining many of our universe’s strange phenomena — from the way invisible beams of the light fan into rainbows to how rocket fuel can propel us into space. Even so, there are ...

In one of David Lodge's comic novels about academia, the English-professor characters play a game called "Humiliation," where they take turns admitting classic works of literature that they haven't ...

Particle and high energy physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions that govern them across the smallest distance scales and highest energies. The Standard ...
