The MiniBooNE experiment has detected far more electron neutrinos than predicted: a possible harbinger of a revolutionary new elementary particle called the sterile neutrino.
Tim Rupp and Joe Klemencic, two of Fermilab’s computer security wizards, posed as the bad guys to offer a challenge in the Indiana state-wide college cyber defense competition held at Indiana Tech.
People went to great lengths, traveling almost 9000 kilometers over more than 60 days, to deliver an essential, 200-ton component of the KATRIN neutrino experiment.
For million-dollar components that travel thousands of miles to become part of a particle detector, the most perilous part of the trip might be airport security.
Science fair season is here, so we at symmetry were not surprised when 12-year-old Austin Ellsworth of Spring, Texas, called with a few questions about his science fair project.
