Physicists at Yale and Harvard have thrown a new curve at Supersymmetry, the popular hypothesis about what lies beyond physics' reigning model of fundamental forces and particles, the Standard…

Another year, another card inspired by what I am thinking about in physics. Inside the card it reads... Time is not space, space is not time. Space-time is a marriage, complex and tense. In an…

I met George Zweig at a conference in Crete last Summer. He impressed me with the multidisciplinarity of his interests and his quite entertaining career. He has a degree in mathematics, and did quite…

Since the discovery of the charm quark in 1974, physicists have postulated a rare process in which a charm particle spontaneously changes into its antiparticle. Evidence for this behavior was…

[note: this blog, as written is insufficient. I will need to provide an action to clarify the nature of the proposal.] The Spoon and the Moon Give a baby a spoon, and the little one is likely to…

"The senior signs the paper, the post-doc thinks, and the grad student executes" F.S., explaining how the typical nucleus of analysis group in HEP works.

Want to boil water in less than a trillionth of a second? Now you can, if you are at the Hamburg Center for Free-Electron Laser Science and can find someone to build your theoretical concept.…

In 1989 the CDF experiment was sitting on its first precious bounty of proton-antiproton collisions, delivered by the Tevatron collider at the unprecedented energy of 1.8 TeV. One of the first…

It could be in a billion years, it could start tomorrow, but physicists have long predicted that the universe may one day collapse, and that everything in it will be compressed to a small hard ball…

No, this is not an article about top models. Rather, the subject of discussion are models that predict the existence of heavy partners of the top quark. Ever since quarks were understood to be the…
