Through CU Boulder’s Physics through Evidence, Empowerment through Reasoning (PEER) Physics project, Professor Valerie Otero and her team are working with teachers to provide resources to support ...
A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...
Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...
An international team combining two major neutrino experiments has uncovered stronger evidence that neutrinos and antimatter don’t behave as perfect mirror images. That subtle difference may hold the ...
SPARC is planned to be the first experimental device ever to achieve a 'burning plasma' -- a self-sustaining fusion reaction in which different isotopes of the element hydrogen fuse together to form ...
The vast, sparsely populated Argentinian Pampas would seem ideal for social distancing. In the Mendoza region, the Pierre Auger Observatory near Malargue consists of more than 1,600 car-sized plastic ...
When the legends of physics such as Galileo, Newton and Faraday were driving forward our knowledge of the Universe, they did so with simple tabletop equipment, working in small basement laboratories.
Dignitaries formally inaugurate the beginning of FLARE operations. From left: Vyacheslav (Slava) Lukin; Hantao Ji, PPPL physicist and FLARE’s principal investigator; Brandon Thorne, director of ...
Scientists have produced the firmest evidence yet of so-called sterile neutrinos, mysterious particles that pass through matter without interacting with it at all. The first hints these elusive ...
For Cinzia DaVià, collaboration isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the approach she applies to all her professional endeavors.
In this episode we explore the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, a decades-long effort to build the most ambitious particle-physics project ever attempted on American soil. We follow the story ...
