Science meets architecture

A step away from the cars scuttling down the streets of Delhi, precisely arranged on a tame green lawn, is what looks like a giant's playground. Twin cylinders squat at the far end. A pole stands at the center of each, matching the windowed cylinders' radii and heights.

Pierre Darriulat: Modern physics built from scratch

Modern physics built from scratch. It is difficult to summarize my experience in Vietnam in a few lines as the boundary conditions differ so radically from those that apply in the scientific environment of Western countries.

Bringing science to Vietnam

You can't start a high-energy physics program in a remote third-world country overnight. But you might be able to do it in fifteen years. That is what Vietnamese and American physicists hope to do by helping Vietnamese students to become part of the worldwide particle physics community.

The rise of HEP in Korea

Forty years ago, Korea was a poor country with low per capita income, considered a developing nation by the rest of the world. Things have changed–enormously. Today, Korea is an industrial powerhouse; its 50 million citizens are recognized for the production of cars and electronic goods.

Asian committee for future accelerators

Few parts of the world would relish a revisiting of conditions from nearly 200 years ago. For Asia, approximating the past could be the key to the future.
