Constellations illustrates the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics—with a love story.

System tests at SLAC continue with 32 light sensors - up from a single one - in a small-scale version of the future experiment, which will use nearly 500 of them.

The summer school explored upcoming opportunities to expand our understanding of the universe and its fundamental physics, from mysterious dark matter to recently detected gravitational waves.

The minuscule and the immense can reveal quite a bit about each other.

The emeritus physicist was honored for the development of novel detectors that have greatly advanced experiments in particle physics, especially BABAR, which looked into the matter-antimatter imbalance of the universe.

At a recent meeting, scientists shared ideas for searching for dark matter on the (relative) cheap.
