Moniz confirmed as Energy Secretary
The US Senate has unanimously confirmed MIT physics professor Ernest Moniz as the next Secretary of Energy.
Symmetry is on the hunt for the best analogy to describe neutrino oscillation, the process by which a neutrino changes from one flavor to the next.
A new result from the CMS collaboration takes a step toward revealing the origin of the mysterious ‘ridge effect.’
