In The Web of Meaning, Jeremy Lent favours convenient ideas over accurate, and repeatedly presents speculative and disproven theories as fact

Where is the International Space Station? An ISS tracker like Spot the Station can give you a live location and help you set up alerts for potential sightings in your area.

It’s a triple treat. By sifting through data from particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has seen not one, not two but three J/ψ particles emerging from a single collision between two protons. In addition to being a first for particle physics, the observation opens a new window into how quarks and gluons are distributed inside the proton. The J/ψ particle is a special particle. It was the first particle containing a charm quark to be discovered, winning...

It's late at night on November 23, 2021, and you looked to the skies to see...something. At 10:20 pm, NASA launched its Double Asteroid Redirection Test

The story follows the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), a machine that sifts through the universe for hidden matter.

Dr. Samuel Ting's Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the ISS is the first precision particle physics detector in space. It's looking for the origins of the universe, and the new Disney+ docuseries Among the Stars is along for the ride.

'Among The Stars' follows the inspiring and tedious journey of a talented crew as they work to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer in space

Gary Sanders Retires from Managing Thirty Meter Telescope January 30, 2021 After nearly 17 years of leading the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) as project manager, Gary Sanders retired at the beginning of 2021. He had been responsible for managing the design and construction of the telescope since its inception in 2004. An accomplished scientist and manager of scientific megaprojects, Sanders says he already knew he wanted to become an experimental elementary-particle physicist when he was ...
