Large Hadron Collider suffers temp problems due to bird with bread
I know what you are thinking. That heading can’t possibly be correct, could it? Well for those of you worried that the Large Hadron Collider will create a black hole that will suck all of Earth […]
View ArticleWarp speed equals dead crew
If you’re like most geeks you probably wish you could be like Captain Kirk and push a starship to warp speed in order to travel unimaginable distances some time in your lifetime. You might […]
View ArticleCERN’s Large Hadron Collider breaks own power record
Whether or not you believe that CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will potentially answer the mysteries of the universe or be a harbinger of doom for our little blue planet, you have to admit […]
View ArticleLarge Hadron Collider successfully creates first “mini Big Bang”
Do you remember the anti-science hysteria that initially surrounded the construction of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN? The unwashed hordes who were convinced the LHC was going to rip open a hole […]
View ArticleCERN scientists hold antimatter just under 17 minutes
The Dan Brown book along with its movie, Angels & Demons, plays out a plot involving the theft of antimatter contained within a magnetic vessel that must be found before the unit’s battery […]
View ArticleCERN records neutrinos traveling faster than light, physicists scratch their...
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, or so we thought. Physicists rely on that fact, but the latest results coming out of CERN, where the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is housed, […]
View ArticleCERN’s faster than light neutrinos dilemma may have been solved
If a person has low self esteem, they probably should not enter any kind of scientific field as it seems that the whole reason for being a scientist is proving colleagues wrong (pesky […]
View ArticleFaster than light neutrinos recorded again in latest CERN experiment
In September, physicists were scratching their heads at CERN when neutrinos were recorded as traveling faster than the speed of light. That shouldn’t happen unless Einstein turns out to be wrong. The...
View ArticleThe Large Hadron Collider has been recreated in Lego
CERN has been in the news quite a lot recently due to speculation over faster than light neutrinos, the possibility of discovering the Higgs boson, and the fact a new particle has just […]
View ArticleHiggs Boson data set to music is oddly beautiful
Scientists have been searching for the Higgs Boson in the subatomic mishmash for years. Now that it’s probably been found, what’s the best way to celebrate? With some tunes, of course. To really […]
View ArticleDesktop antimatter gun exists and could shed light on black holes
A team at the University of Michigan has created a "gun" that's shorter than some sniper rifles and can create a hugely dense positron beam.

Google Street View is becoming increasingly ingrained into the modern consciousness. When you’re looking for a new apartment, you hop onto Street View to check out the quality of the neighborhood. When...
View ArticleThe 50-year hunt: How 2013’s Nobel laureates in Physics found the Higgs boson
This year's Nobel Prize in Physics went to Peter Higgs and François Englert for their work in predicting the existence and properties of the Higgs boson, but this prize has been decades in the making.
View ArticleLHC confirms the Standard Model of Physics and that creates a big problem
A historic announcement: The Standard Model of physics is correct and complete. But now a new question: If the model is complete, how can there still be parts of physics we don't understand?
View ArticleChina is set to build a particle collider twice the circumference of the LHC
CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is by far the biggest particle collider in the world–it even has “large” in the name. However, the now famous scientific instrument buried near Geneva, Switzerland...
View ArticleAstrophysicists want to use all our smartphones as a giant cosmic ray detector
The smartphone in your pocket can do more than place calls and download pictures of cats. It can also help scientists track cosmic rays colliding with Earth as they emerge from deep space. […]
View ArticleLarge Hadron Collider shuts down, weasel to blame
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most advanced and power scientific instrument ever built, but it’s also more fragile than you’d expect. So much so that it was once broken by a […]
