Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in how unstable particles decay, combined with rare Higgs events and a ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle ...

Physicists at Cern have discovered a plethora of new exotic particles being created in the collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider over the past few years. So many have been found, in fact, ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that ...

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space.

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...
