The Standard Model, set in stone
A standing stone outside the CERN Control Centre neatly sums up our understanding of the universe
Explain it in 60 seconds: spin
Objects as large as a planet or as small as a photon can have the property of spin. Spin is also the reason we can watch movies in 3D.
A question of spin for the new boson
Physicists speaking today at the Moriond conference say that the new particle discovered at CERN last year is looking more and more like a Higgs boson
