Supercomputing the difference between matter and antimatter
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. Continue reading
Moving day for experiment examining whether neutrinos are their own antiparticles
The Majorana Demonstrator collaboration began moving their experiment into the Davis Campus on the 4850 Level this week. Continue reading
Digital artist creates new kind of experiment at CERN
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. Continue reading
More physics for your funding
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. Continue reading
New neutrino measurement finds particles obeying speed limit
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. Continue reading
CERN spin-off: More efficient solar panels
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. Continue reading
Scientists send encoded message through rock via neutrino beam
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. Continue reading
Scientists continue to see puzzling behavior in top quarks, reaffirm strength of Tevatron experiments
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 stil... Continue reading
