Among the many scientists who push the frontiers of knowledge at the Department of Energys SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the Panofsky fellows stand out.

New research shows how a hypothetical form of dark energy might be made inside the sun and could be detected here on Earth. In fact, we may have already seen it.

Book Review: Philosopher AC Grayling explores the latest knowledge in science, history and the mind.

Scientific American Surprising new data from the Muon g-2 experiment are turning the classical model on its head cover background) Advertisement In April a team of physicists at Fermi National Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., announced anomalous behavior in the magnetic wiggle of the muon. The signal suggests that there may be other forces at work affecting the particle’s behavior besides those predicted by the Standard Model of physics (see “Long-Awaited Muon Measurement Boosts Evidence for Ne...

7 Indian women scientists who are an inspiration to all 9026 Like most professions in India, the field of science is very much male-dominated. When asked to name an Indian scientist, most of us can only think of APJ Abdul Kalam or Srinivasa Ramanujan. It’s not often that someone names an Indian woman scientist. This might make it seem like there aren’t many women contributing to the field of science, but that is not the case. Many women, over the years, have made immense contribution to sci...

New research has found a critical flaw in modified gravity theories: They allow for effects to occur without causes and for information to travel faster than the speed of light. This is bad … for modified gravity.

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory The ICARUS detector has been collecting test data in preparation for the official start of the physics data collection later this year. The left panel shows an electron neutrino interaction that produced a proton (top track) and an electron, which produced an electromagnetic shower with photons and electrons (bottom tracks). The right panel shows a muon neutrino interaction that produced a proton (short track, top left) and a muon (3.4-meter-long track)...

UConn physicists explain the excitement around the Muon g-2, an experiment that suggests there may be new laws of physics.

CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, uses Oracle solutions to support the control systems for the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.
