Battling the clouds

Clouds of electrons could block the view of new discoveries at the proposed ILC, a multi-billion-dollar particle collider. Eliminating those clouds is critical to the prspects for the machine's success.

Science meets architecture

A step away from the cars scuttling down the streets of Delhi, precisely arranged on a tame green lawn, is what looks like a giant's playground. Twin cylinders squat at the far end. A pole stands at the center of each, matching the windowed cylinders' radii and heights.
