Physics books of 2015 December 15, 2015 | Mike Perricone A tour of 10 of this year’s popular science books delivers dark matter, black holes and a hefty dose of Einstein.
Save the particles December 9, 2015 | Sarah Charley To learn more about the particles they collide, physicists turn their attention to a less destructive type of collision in the LHC.
What could dark matter be? December 1, 2015 | Laura Dattaro Scientists don’t yet know what dark matter is made of, but they are full of ideas.
Charge-parity violation November 24, 2015 | Manuel Gnida and Kathryn Jepsen Matter and antimatter behave differently. Scientists hope that investigating how might someday explain why we exist.
Physicists get a supercomputing boost November 23, 2015 | Kathryn Jepsen Scientists have made the first-ever calculation of a prediction involving the decay of certain matter and antimatter particles.
Shrinking the accelerator November 19, 2015 | SLAC Scientists plan to use a newly awarded grant to develop a shoebox-sized particle accelerator in five years.
Cleanroom is a verb November 17, 2015 | Chris Patrick Although they might be invisible to the naked eye, contaminants less than a micron in size can ruin very sensitive experiments in particle physics.
Giving physics students options November 12, 2015 | Troy Rummler Many physics degree programs excel at preparing students for an academic career, but more than half of those who complete the programs head to industry instead.
