SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is home to a scientific marvel that pushes particles to travel close to the speed of light. But wait, there’s more.
Initiated two years ago as a pilot program, an effort to bring undergraduate Indigenous women into physics has blossomed into a steady source of physics education and opportunities.
The Paarl Africa Underground Laboratory (PAUL) will be the first dedicated and permanent underground laboratory in Africa, and the second one in the southern hemisphere.
New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe’s invisible mass.
Most astronomers trek to the mountaintops to study the stars, but a group of physicists are seeking the secrets of the cosmos with a detector at the bottom of the ocean.
For decades scientists have tried to find a way to measure the mass of the lightest matter particle known to exist. Three new approaches now have a chance to succeed.
This year’s list includes a book about an eminent physicist striving to avoid fame, two unique books for children, and a book with equations you'll actually be able to read.
