Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming scientific discovery, but few developments carry implications as profound as its integration with particle physics and nuclear security. A recent breakthrough in transfer learning applied to muon tomography demonstrates how machine learning can dramatically enhance the detection of illicit nuclear materials, even when they are deliberately concealed behind shielding. This advancement addresses one of the most persistent global security...

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, represents one of the most ambitious and advanced experiments in particle astrophysics. Since its initial completion in 2010, IceCube has provided a groundbreaking window into high-energy neutrinos, allowing scientists to explore some of the most extreme cosmic environments, including distant galaxies and supernovae. After 15 years of operation, the observatory has now undergone its first major upgrade,...

The cosmos has always fascinated humanity, inspiring questions about its origin, evolution, and ultimate fate. Among the most pressing scientific puzzles today is the Hubble tension , a discrepancy in the measured expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble Constant . While precision cosmology has made incredible strides, conflicting measurements from independent methods have left researchers grappling with a paradox. Recent breakthroughs, including gravitationally lensed supernovae...
