A new review in Nature chronicles the many ways machine learning is popping up in particle physics research. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider produce about a million gigabytes of data every ...

When [Steve Parker]’s girlfriend got a tea kettle that takes voice commands, he suddenly saw his fancy bean-to-cup coffee machine as a technological dinosaur. It may make good coffee, but getting the ...

Scientists have developed a new machine-learning platform that makes the algorithms that control particle beams and lasers smarter than ever before. Their work could help lead to the development of ...

Operators of Jefferson Lab's primary particle accelerator are getting a new tool to help them quickly address issues that can prevent it from running smoothly. The machine learning system has passed ...

Ten years ago, a team operating the world’s largest particle collider made history by discovering the Higgs boson particle, a finding key to understanding the creation of the universe, earning it the ...

REMEMBER when we worried the world would end with this? Now scientists are drawing up plans to build one ten times bigger. The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is set to take particle acceleration to a ...

It’s a common comedy trope: the industrial production line that speeds up beyond the limits of the humans who must work on it. Particle physicists found themselves facing a potential Lucy-and-Ethel ...

The volume of data particle physicists have to sort through at the Large Hadron Collider is staggering, and it’s about to increase by an order of magnitude. To cope with this torrent of data, CERN is ...

A team of scientists has devised a machine learning algorithm that calculates, with low computational time, how the ATLAS detector in the Large Hadron Collider would respond to the ten times more data ...
