Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to ...

Like an infinitely thin rubber band, each particle contains a vibrating, oscillating, dancing filament that physicists have named a string. In the figure at right, we illustrate this essential ...

The tiny vibrating strings are tasked with the monumental effort of explaining all of creation—every kind of particle to ever ...

A decade after the discovery of the “amplituhedron,” physicists have excavated more of the timeless geometry underlying the ...

For nearly 10 years we’ve been operating in a search mode, and any day we could make a discovery,” said Gray Rybka, a ...

This text is an introduction to the fields of experimental and theoretical particle physics and cosmology. The book focuses on three principal areas: supersymmetry, string theory, and astrophysics and ...

Our most powerful telescopes have revealed that the cosmos is surprisingly simple on the largest visible scales. Likewise, ...

In the social media age, there is little doubt about who is the star of the animal kingdom. Cats rule the screens just as ...

We live in an amazing time for understanding the universe. Our powerful telescopes show that the cosmos is simpler than expected on the largest scales. Meanwhile, particle physics experiments at the ...

Each particle has its own magnetic moment ... such as supersymmetry or even string theory. Although the results of the Muon g ...

A new experimental proposal suggests detecting a particle of gravity is far easier than anyone imagined. Now physicists are debating what it would really prove.

Professor Ruth Britto, from Trinity College Dublin’s School of Mathematics, will work with three colleagues in an ...
