The muon collider was once dismissed as impossible, but is now gaining steam as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.

Britain is preparing to cancel its contribution to one of the Large Hadron Collider's next major upgrades.

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. In the mid-twentieth century, particle physicists were peering ...

For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...
