CERN and INFN have developed a compact, transportable accelerator for the non-destructive analysis of historical artifacts and artworks, providing a cheaper, more accessible method of analyzing large or fragile items of this nature.
A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research.
When LIGO and Virgo detected the echoes that likely came from a collision between a black hole and a neutron star, dozens of physicists began a hunt for the signal’s electromagnetic counterpart.
Working on hardware doesn’t come easily to all physicists, but Francesca Ricci-Tam has learned that what matters most is a willingness to put in the practice.
