  • New neutrino measurement finds particles obeying speed limit

    Updated: 2012-03-16 14:32:09
    Scientists on the ICARUS experiment at Gran Sasso, Italy, announced today that they had found no evidence of superluminal neutrinos in a cross-check of earlier analysis from the OPERA experiment, also located at Gran Sasso.

  • Superluminal Neutrinos are so 2011

    Updated: 2012-03-16 14:30:39
    We all knew that when the OPERA experiment announced preliminary evidence that neutrinos were traveling faster than the speed of light, the result was so hard to swallow that independent confirmation from other experiments would be necessary before too many people jumped on the bandwagon. In the meantime, a number of theoretical papers pointed out [...]

  • Scientists continue to see puzzling behavior in top quarks, reaffirm strength of Tevatron experiments

    Updated: 2012-03-09 21:46:17
    The Tevatron may be shut down for good, but – as evidenced by the catalogue of results presented at this week’s Rencontres de Moriond conference – the collider’s experiments still have plenty to say. In some areas, the Fermilab experiments still hold the advantage over those at the higher-powered Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

  • Daya Bay experiment makes key measurement, paves way for future discoveries

    Updated: 2012-03-08 22:32:38
    An international collaboration of physicists working on a neutrino experiment in southern China announced today they have made a difficult measurement scientists have been chasing for more than a decade. The results of the Daya Bay neutrino experiment open an important window into understanding the behavior of neutrinos, and now the race is on to determine the implications. Two American experiments, one proposed and one under construction, seem well positioned to take the next steps.
