The QROCODILE experiment sets world-leading limits on light dark matter, marking a breakthrough in the search for the unseen.| The Debrief
It’s no secret that the early twentieth century was a great time to make progress in fundamental physics. On one level, it was an era when huge swaths of our understanding of the world were being rewritten, with relativity and quantum mechanics just being explored. It was a time when a bright student could guide […]| 4 gravitons
Sometimes, when I write a post about AI, I’ve been sitting on an idea for a long time. I’ve talked to experts, I’ve tried to understand the math, I’ve honed my points and cleared away clutter. This is not one of those times. The ideas in this post almost certainly have something deeply wrong with […]| 4 gravitons
Recently, the South Pole Telescope’s SPT-3G collaboration released new measurements of the cosmic microwave background, the leftover light from the formation of the first atoms. By measuring …| 4 gravitons
In this lab we will learn about the basics of low and mid-energy radiation-matter interaction with the help of Geant4, the Geant4 binding for Python (g4py), and of course, our beloved Docker. This lab may fall into the recent (and praiseworthy) trend related to the so called reproducible research and Open Educational Resources as a Service. This PWD/Docker-based experience has been carried out with huge success at Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR), as described in this research pap...| Play with Docker classroom
It sounds like science fiction to say there’s invisible, undetectable stuff all around us, and it doesn’t help that it has the spooky name of dark matter. But there’s plenty of evidence that this material is very real. So what exactly is dark matter? How do we know it’s there? And how are…| New Atlas

Predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics, improved by accounting for two key details, are shown to agree in detail with data| Of Particular Significance
Science can be thought of as a series of maps of nature, striving to be ever more complete, as models and theories evolve.| Big Think
From slithering snakes to falling cats, here's how animals negotiate the laws of physics and use them to their advantage.| Big Think
For over a decade, I studied scattering amplitudes, the formulas particle physicists use to find the probability that particles collide, or scatter, in different ways. I went to Amplitudes, the fie…| 4 gravitons
