The next generation of atom smasher could be a 100-kilometer-round ring, costing over $10 billion, with no promise of finding something as glamorous as last decade’s Higgs boson. But does the future ...

The Swiss National Science Foundation has approved the funding application of a large consortium led by the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the ...

From protons to electrons to atomic nuclei, physicists love smashing tiny stuff together. And soon, they may have an even better way to get their kicks. A new experiment raises prospects for building ...

When Fermilab physicist Steve Geer agreed to perform a calculation as part of a muon collider task force 10 years ago, he imagined he would show that the collider s technical challenges were too ...

When researchers announced in 2017 that they had discovered a previously unknown void within Egypt’s Great Pyramid, their finding generated much excitement. The 30 m-long cavity, located above the ...
