The official story is demonstrably wrong, says CERN theorist Álvaro de Rújula
MINERvA seeks to make precise measurements of neutrino cross-section on light and heavy nuclei
Today CERN inaugurated the ELENA building (393) after less than a year's construction work
Measurements with neutrinos seemed impossible eight decades ago, but by 1974 the Gargamelle team had used them to reveal the quark structure of matter

Rolf Heuer on a week that included BICEP2's announcement on gravitational waves, Moriond, joint Tevatron-LHC results and a new director for TRIUMF
On his first trip to CERN since sharing the Nobel prize in physics last year with Peter Higgs, François Englert talks Higgs bosons and supersymmetry
Watch François Englert explain the equations for the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism that gives particles mass, with the help of a blackboard
