The Biggest Physics Discovery In 50 Years?
It's a bump, a weird bump in collision data at Fermilab's "soon-to-be shuttered":http://motherboard.tv/2011/1/11/goodbye-tevatron-the-u-s-s-largest-particle-accelerator Tevatron collider. Weird bumps happen; it might not mean anything. But, as it...
Fermilab's Ghost in the Machine
Fermilab's Tevatron collider is picking up something unexplainable. Particles aren't behaving like they should. It has to do with the top quark, one of the fundamental particles. It sounds simplistic in a way, but when particles collide and shoot...
