Symmetry features

A tour of 10 of this year’s popular science books delivers dark matter, black holes and a hefty dose of Einstein.

To learn more about the particles they collide, physicists turn their attention to a less destructive type of collision in the LHC.

Scientists don’t yet know what dark matter is made of, but they are full of ideas.

Matter and antimatter behave differently. Scientists hope that investigating how might someday explain why we exist.

Although they might be invisible to the naked eye, contaminants less than a micron in size can ruin very sensitive experiments in particle physics.

New technology and new thinking are pushing the dark matter hunt to lower and lower masses.

Not only are we made of fundamental particles, we also produce them and are constantly bombarded by them throughout the day.
