10/05/20 Fermilab If Betelgeuse goes boom: How DUNE would respond to a nearby supernova If Betelgeuse went supernova, detecting the emitted neutrinos would present a unique opportunity to investigate the properties of these particles.
10/02/20 Science With to-do list checked off, US physicists ask, ‘What’s next?’ Seven years ago, the US particle physics community hammered out its current research road map and rallied around it. Thanks to that unity—and generous budgets—the Department of Energy has already started on almost every project on the list.
