Scientists still seek explanation for faster-than-light neutrino result
The question of whether the OPERA experiment's faster-than-light neutrino measurement is correct is still up in the air, despite what some headlines have suggested. Experimentalists have not been able to establish how the experiment is flawed, and yet ... Continue reading
The Tevatron: a training ground beyond particle physics
Beyond smashing together billions of protons and antiprotons over the course of its 28 years of operations, Fermilab’s Tevatron also served as a launching pad for many careers, often in fields beyond particle physics. Continue reading
