Research means asking questions of the universe. For centuries, clever minds have advanced science by devising ingenious ...

Artificial intelligence is now radically reshaping the landscape of physics, generating experimental layouts that outperform traditional human engineering while sparking questions about the nature of ...

Physics is supposed to be predictable. Drop a ball, and gravity pulls it down. Heat water, and it boils. Light travels in straight lines. Yet throughout history, scientists have encountered ...

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for ...

The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience will, of necessity, be something of a distortion. The question ...

Over the past decade or so, foundation models have emerged as the dominant paradigm for interacting with language, images, and code. Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate text. Vision models can ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...
