Michael Riordan has spent decades ruminating on the history of physics, including events he participated in himself.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Every year in November, high school students, teachers and scientists get together to talk about cosmic rays:

The CMS and ATLAS experiments recently detected quantum entanglement between top quarks in high-energy collisions at the LHC. What does that mean?

Drawing on nearly a decade of analysis, CMS has found that the W boson’s mass is consistent with predictions, finally putting a multi-year-long mystery to rest:

Meet the short-lived particle that helps the sun shine:

Instead of hunting for specific signatures of new physics in the data the CMS detector collects from collisions in the Large Hadron Collider, a new tool will search for rare anomalies.

New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe’s invisible mass.

Edgar Marrufo Villalpando went from Mexico to the United States and from computational physics to astronomical instrumentation to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a physicist.

In a major step for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, scientists have detected the first neutrinos using a DUNE prototype particle detector at the US Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Explain it in 60 Seconds: Lattice QCD

About 2,200 people took part in hands-on science activities, performances, lectures, and exhibits at @SanfordLab's Neutrino Day celebration this year.

Nobel Laureate Peter Higgs died earlier this year. Twelve years ago this week, physicists discovered the particle that bears his name:

"Over a long career, Bahcall never lost his sense of wonder. His contributions to fundamental research are visible in everything from the solar neutrino problem to galactic structures to dark matter to the development of the Hubble Space Telescope."

The specifics of a next-generation dark-matter detector are still to be determined, says Regina Rameika, associate director of DOE’s Office of High Energy Physics. But the vision to expand the search, she says, is clear and worth pursuing.

Raphael Granier De Cassagnac recently put his scientific skills to use creating a physics-themed video game.

The largest camera ever built for astrophysics has completed the long journey from @SLAClab in California to @VRubinObs on the summit of Cerro Pachón in Chile.

Machine learning is becoming an essential part of a physicist’s toolkit. How should new students learn to use it? https://t.co/yt28CoXJIF #SymmetryAI #AI

Physics may seem like its own world, but different sectors using machine learning are all part of the same universe. https://t.co/z8PdMYOZN4 #SymmetryAI #AI

AI tools are taking on a variety of tasks, including helping to operate complex machines in particle physics and astrophysics. https://t.co/WMp0DUqgTP #SymmetryAI #AI
