China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator has reshaped the global race ...

Beyond better testing, we need better protection. Physical shields seem like the obvious first defense. Hydrogen-rich materials such as polyethylene and water-absorbing hydrogels can slow charged ...

In one of the rockiest years yet for science, Philadelphia-area researchers still managed to celebrate many wins. Here are five of them.

We carry these mixed feelings into 2026, which is slated to be another great—yet perhaps troubled—year for science. No list can fully capture the vast range of the scientific enterprise, but here are ...

A postgraduate student from Bangladesh steps into CERN’s vast research ecosystem, navigating cutting-edge physics while confronting the limits of global scientific access ...

Roads & Bridges columnist Dave Matthews finds the funny side of transportation. From vehicular psychiatrists to radioactive ...

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the ...

Dr. Vopson argues that we’re living in a simulation because the mathematics behind how the universe functions doesn’t match ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...
