With the 2012 summer Olympics underway, we at symmetry have just one question on our minds: Which particle would win which Olympic event?
On July 23, Fermilab Deputy Director Young-Kee Kim joined 14 other scientists, science journalists and industry executives to judge the Google Science Fair in Palo Alto, California.
At their final performance on July 21, it was apparent that the members of Les Horribles Cernettes, a physics-themed doo-wop group, loved every proton of the more than 500 people that packed the annual Hardronic Music Festival at CERN.
Five U.S. astronauts spoke at CERN Wednesday to celebrate a year of data-collection by the largest experiment in space.
On July 4, CERN hosted a seminar to share the latest results in the search for the Higgs boson. Check out this collection of images from the historic day.
Thanks to a few creative scientists, the recent discovery of a Higgs-like particle is music to more than just particle physicists’ ears.

Sitting on a mountain top in Arizona , over the weekend the 4.3 meter telescope saw what astronomers call first light the first time it sees actual photons from the sky .

Last week, Fermilab’s planned Mu2e experiment passed the second step of the Department of Energy's five-step approval process, only about a month after the DOE’s initial review.
After a few provocative hints over the last few years, new results in the search for weakly-interacting dark matter have come up empty. The latest is from XENON100, a liquid-xenon scintillation detector under the mountain in Gran Sasso, Italy. Here are the talk slides by Elena Aprile (pdf) from the Dark Attack conference in Switzerland [...]
The XENON collaboration announced this week that they detected no signs of potential dark matter particles during the last 13 months. Their results will be used to narrow the search for the unseen particles that scientists think make up most of the matter in the universe.
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope just received another boost. The National Science Foundation announced today that it will advance the giant telescope to the final design stage.
Higgs the cat, owner of friend and guest author of the blog Faye Flam, has written his own take on the Higgs boson as a contribution to Faye’s Planet of the Apes blog. Faye will shamelessly plagiarize Higgs in Monday’s Philadelphia Inquirer, but you can read it straight from the kitty’s mouth at the above [...]
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m now in Auckland. Richard Easther, a repatriated Kiwi who came here from Yale last year to head up the physics department, has organized a workshop on “The LHC, Particle Physics and the Cosmos“, at which I gave a talk this morning. This is a very different affair [...]
