It’s been years of work and what feels like years of work in just the past couple of months to put on the largest and most important international conference in neutrino physics, with 600+ attendees. I am happy to be on the Local Organizing Committee, and presenting our proposal in Heidelberg in 2018, but kudos mostly goes to Mu-Chun Chen and Michael Smy in co-chairing the conference Local Organizing Committee. #neutrino2026 #particlephysics

'A mixture from zero to infinity': Physicists split apart a photon — and ended up with an improbable swarm of particles

Physicists have found that splitting a photon would lead to a complex state that may change the way we think of particles.

If you looked deep enough inside just one single atom, you'd find the entire story of the Universe, including all the forces and particles, encoded inside of it

How a single atom contains the entire quantum Universe

By probing the Universe on atomic scales and smaller, we can reveal the entirety of the Standard Model, and with it, the quantum Universe.

The universe has 17 fundamental particles. Or 995.5

How many fundamental particles are in the universe? The answer depends on what you choose to count — and it might not even be a whole number.
