A decade after the discovery of the “amplituhedron,” physicists have excavated more of the timeless geometry underlying the standard picture of how particles move.

If the FarView radio telescope is built, it would double as a demonstration of two unprecedented activities: mining and manufacturing in space.

A new method developed by the Brown team dramatically reduces sample loss, paving the way for more accurate and efficient protein analysis.

Dark matter may be lighter in mass than once hoped

NASA’s EXCITE Mission Prepared for Scientific Balloon Flight

In a South Dakota cavern, scientists are working to capture the most elusive particles in the universe.

Representing a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds, the scholars join the Brown community to guide student-centered learning and engage in high-impact research.

Emeritus Professor of Physics (Research) Derek Stein, founder and CEO of Adept Materials, was recently featured in “Adept Materials’ dehumidifying paint was inspired by trees and semiconductors” in TechCrunch.com’s climate section.

This morning, Farrah Simpson became the first Black woman to earn a doctoral degree in physics from Brown University.

Congratulations to Vineetha Bheemarasetty, the recipient of the 2024 Jun Qi ‘03 Ph.D. and Christine Geng Graduate Fellowship in Condensed Matter Experimental Physics!

Brown students have received the award two years in a row. Last year's recipient was also an advisee of Professor Vesna Mitrović.

CERN hails the late Meenakshi Narain as an "inspirational leader and champion of diversity in CMS and beyond" with PURSUE legacy

Starting in 2029, the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will provide much higher collision intensities to the ATLAS and CMS experiments, with up to 200 concurrent collisions (or pileup) per bunch crossing expected. This will create very complicated collision events with many overlapping tracks. Consequently, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations are preparing to equip their tracking detectors with high-resolution inner tracking layers based on silicon pixel detectors. These new detectors will measure the inner points of the particle tracks as close as possible to the collision point.
