The winners of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics are: Takaaki Kajita Kajita (Super Kamiokande) Arthur McDonald (Sudbury Neutrino Observatory - SNO) “for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass"

It started as a big old ball of dust, so how did it end up like a giant pancake? Our resident physicist tells the true story using fake forces.

Mergers of supermassive black holes are a favored process to explain stochastic gravitational waves seen by pulsar timing arrays, but they suffer from a long-standing "final parsec problem," which causes them to stall before reaching the stage of GW emission.

A major upgrade of the collimation system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) began during the first long shutdown of CERN’s accelerator complex (LS1, 2013–2015) and continued during LS2 (2019–2021), in preparation for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). As its name suggests, the HL-LHC will surpass the LHC in terms of luminosity, i.e. the number of collisions that take place within the LHC experiments. The accelerator’s equipment therefore requires enhanced protection, which is where the c...

A calorimeter in physics is something that measures heat. However, there are mainly two categories of such objects: ones that measure macroscopic amounts of heat, and ones that measure the heat released by subatomic particles when they smash against matter.

The goal is to have the first neutrino detector operational before the end of 2028.

CUMBERLAND — Representatives of the Mountainview Landfill in Frostburg are seeking to expand their operation by adding an additional 50 acres for refuse processing, according to Allegany County officials.
