  • World’s largest digital camera one step closer to reality

    Updated: 2012-04-24 16:08:57
    Perched high atop Cerro Pachón in the Chilean Andes, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will take the largest, fastest, most detailed pictures of the Southern Hemisphere’s night sky. With these images, researchers around the world will seek to reveal the nature of dark matter and dark energy—and to answer a host of other questions in [...]

  • Listening for the sound of science

    Ever wonder what physics sounds like? Composer and network engineer Domenico Vicinanza recently created a musical score that mimics the tracks of subatomic particles.

  • Tevatron experiment confirms LHC discovery of Chi-b (P3) particle

    Updated: 2012-04-09 17:10:38
    The DZero experiment at Fermilab’s Tevatron collider has confirmed the discovery of a new particle from an experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. In December, scientists on the ATLAS experiment at the LHC announced that they had unearthed in their data a never-before-seen particle composed of two bottom quarks, called Chi-b (P3). The DZero collaboration [...]

  • Physicists mobilize to rescue U.S. neutrino experiment

    Updated: 2012-04-04 21:00:36
    Neutrino physicists in the U.S. have begun to regroup after a disappointing setback last week, when they learned the Department of Energy would not support the budget of a major proposed experiment. The silver lining, as they see it, is that they have the chance to reevaluate their plans and find a path forward. DOE [...]

  • Korean experiment confirms groundbreaking neutrino measurement

    Updated: 2012-04-04 18:33:24
    Hot on the heels of the Daya Bay experiment's completion of one of the most difficult measurements in neutrino physics, a Korean experiment has produced its own measurement confirming the earlier results.

  • The fear of failing

    Updated: 2012-03-21 09:39:26
    Verrrrrrrry interesting if true (and it seems very possibly true to me): "The fear of failing can make a person quite changeable. Soon they develop a suspicious nature and lack any motivation - which ...
