The Higgs Boson still hasn’t made an appearance, but in an even more stunning discovery, apparently the Large Hadron Collider has been responsible for creating the new 2012 Range Rover Sport. That’s $US9 billion well spent right there. More »
Instead of breaking down how much force and energy is applied during a tackle, Minute Physics takes a look at the role of scientific symmetry in yesterday’s big game. A nice departure from the typical scientific breakdowns of the sport. More »
With the help of SMBC comics illustrator Zach Weiner, this week Minute Physics tackles the conundrum of why some rocks appear to be naturally round, while others end up flat, perfect for skipping across a lake. More »
I want to believe this is real. I really want to believe this is real. Please internet, just let us have this one thing: an astoundingly cool WipeOut model car track based on superconductivity and magnetic fields. It’s incredible looking. More »
Since it was opened in 2009, the LHC has been helping prove whether the Higgs boson exists or not. Scientists are not there yet, but they have just found the LHC’s first new particle: Chi-b 3P. More »
Goddamn. How can you not love Minute Physics? This week, Henry Reich explains a family of particles that are the talk of the physics world: neutrinos! More »
I prefer to call it The Force — a particle that “surrounds us and penetrates us” binding the galaxy together — but Czech physicist Luboš Motl makes a good case as to why the Higgs boson should be called the God Particle. More »
If confirmed next week, this will be the biggest news in the history of physics since the birth of the Theory of Relativity: CERN scientists may have already found evidence of the existence of the elusive Higgs boson. THE FORCE, dudes: More »
