The march of the penguin diagrams
More than 30 years ago, a physicist honored a bet by naming a particle decay diagram after an aquatic bird.

The ILC through two lenses
Two regions in Japan vying to be the site of the proposed International Linear Collider have produced wildly different promotional videos.
After nearly a decade of R&D, the International Linear Collider global design effort crosses the finish line.
Reader Emily Conover wins symmetry’s latest contest with her fairy-tale description of neutrino oscillation.

Exploring the universal glue
Our visible universe is built mostly of glue, which generates roughly 98 percent of visible mass. Now, an experiment is gearing up to study novel manifestations of that glue.
To deal with increasingly data-hungry experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN has built an addition to its data center—in Budapest.

Unification of forces
What if, like the individual threads that form a piece of cloth, all of nature’s forces can be woven together into one comprehensive force?

A 10-minute lesson in supersymmetry
In two new videos, Fermilab physicist Don Lincoln explains the what and the why of supersymmetry.
