An international collaboration of scientists has reported a landmark calculation of the decay process of a kaon into two pions, using breakthrough techniques on some of the world's fastest supercomputers.
The Majorana Demonstrator collaboration began moving their experiment into the Davis Campus on the 4850 Level this week.
If attendees at the welcome reception for CERN’s first artist-in-residence learned one thing last night, it was that Julius von Bismarck is not afraid to disrupt others with his art.
The decommissioning of the Tevatron represented the end of an era, but it also is ushering in the next generation of physics by providing valuable equipment to other experiments.
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.
Retired CERN physicist Cristoforo Benvenuti learned a thing or two about building a better solar panel through his work on particle accelerators. The Geneva International Airport recently ordered 300.
Scientists recently proved possible a way to converse when radio waves won’t do. For the first time, physicists have successfully transmitted a message using neutrinos.
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.
On March 7, Alan Alda, the actor best known for playing medic Hawkeye Pierce on yesteryear’s TV series M*A*S*H, visited the home of the Large Hadron Collider, CERN.
