• 2     Particle collider repairs could take until summer, CERN says
  

  Fixing an electrical failure that shut down the Large Hadron Collider in September is likely to take longer than initial estimates, according to a spokesman for the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known by the French acronym CERN. Repair work to the world's biggest particle collider ma
• 2     Unknown "Structures" Tugging at Universe, Study Says
  

  On the outskirts of creation, unknown, unseen "structures" are tugging on our universe like cosmic magnets, a controversial new study says. Everything in the known universe is said to be racing toward the massive clumps of matter at more than 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers) an hour—a mov

• 2     Hawking to retire as Lucasian Professor of Maths
  

  Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking will next year retire as Cambridge University's Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a position once held by Isaac Newton, the university said on Thursday. A spokesman said it was policy for the title holder to retire at 67. Hawking, who has held the position since 197
• 3     9 Lessons Richard Feynman Taught Us About Creativity
  

  If there is a scientist who could teach us about creativity, it must be Richard Feynman. He was a Nobel Laureate who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. But aside from just a scientist, he was also a very creative person. He often found ideas in unusual ways. The idea which earned him the Nobel
• 2     3 win Nobel for subatomic physics research
  

  Two Japanese citizens and a Japanese-born American won the 2008 Nobel Prize in physics for discoveries in the world of subatomic physics, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday. American Yoichiro Nambu, 87, of the University of Chicago, won half of the prize for the discovery of a
• 2     CERN Launches The Biggest Computing Grid In The World
  

  Yesterday CERN launched the largest computing grid in the world, which is destined to analyze the data coming from world's biggest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider. The computing grid consists of more than 140 computer centers from around the world working together to handle the exp
• 2     Transformer glitch shuts down biggest atom smasher
  

  The world's largest particle collider malfunctioned within hours of its launch to great fanfare, but its operator didn't report the problem for a week. In a statement Thursday, the European Organization for Nuclear Research reported for the first time that a 30-ton transformer that cools part of
• 2     'Big Bang' experiment starts well
  

  Scientists have hailed a successful switch-on for an enormous experiment which will recreate the conditions a few moments after the Big Bang. The beam completed its first circuit of the underground tunnel at just before 0930 BST. "There it is," project leader Lyn Evans said when the beam complete
