The Sesame institute is made up of physicists from several countries that rarely talk to one another but whose scientists are determined to collaborate.
The future of Stanford Linear Accelerator Center involves a broadening from traditional particle physics experiments to research from subatomic to cosmological scales.
Tomorrow's particle physics experiments are redrawing the map for scientific collaboration. Although the field has long been accustomed to large groups of scientists, life in the new CERN collaborations will surely be different.
When was the last time you met three Einsteins? Masa Hokari and his son Harumi had this opportunity during Stanford University's Community Day, held in April.
A physicist who has devoted his career to developing linear colliders confronts the decision that changed the global physics community and the focus of his work.
Robert Wilson, the first director of Fermilab, was both scientist and artist. There are many anecdotes about his interest in and promotion of art at Fermilab. Over many years I have observed that physical scientists often have a deep interest in the arts.
The most-cited paper in theoretical particle physics in 2004 was "A large mass hierarchy from a small extra dimension" by Lisa Randall and Raman Sundrum, published in Physical Review Letters in 1999.
