ITEP Recognizes Theoretical Physicist Stanley Brodsky with 2015 Pomeranchuk Prize

Stan Brodsky, a professor of particle physics and astrophysics at Stanford University and the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, has received the 2015 Pomeranchuk Prize from the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP) in Moscow, Russia. He shares the award with Russian physicist Victor Fadin.

Namur University Professor Proposes Device Capable of Creating Detectable Gravitational Fields

Produce and detect gravitational fields at will using magnetic fields, control them for studying them, work with them to produce new technologies—it sounds daring, but Prof. André Füzfa of Namur University has proposed just that in an article published in the prestigious scientific journal Physical Review D. If followed, this proposal could transform physics and shake up Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

Unusual Bump in the Signal of Large Hadron Collider Puzzles Physicists

Physicists around the world were puzzled recently when an unusual bump appeared in the signal of the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, causing them to wonder if it was a new particle previously unknown, or perhaps even two new particles. The collision cannot be explained by the Standard Model, the theoretical foundation of particle physics.

Astronomers Detect Massive, Sprawling, Churning Galaxy Cluster

The early universe was a chaotic mess of gas and matter that only began to coalesce into distinct galaxies hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang. It would take several billion more years for such galaxies to assemble into massive galaxy clusters — or so scientists had thought.

Brightly Pulsating Racing Stars Could Help Detect Dwarf Galaxies Dominated By Dark Matter

A trio of brightly pulsating stars at the outskirts of the Milky Way is racing away from the galaxy and may confirm a method for detecting dwarf galaxies dominated by dark matter and explain ripples in the outer disk of the galaxy.
