The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) whose participants include a UT physicist delivered recommendations to decision makers. ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

A novel theory of 'wavy space-time' suggests that the division between our best descriptions of the universe on its smallest and largest scales may be because gravity does not play by quantum rules.
