Delicious drinks can be the perfect miniature laboratory for demonstrating the weird physics of fluids. Here are four of the best examples and how you can try them at home

Japan has started releasing wastewater from the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. A Swiss lab has played a vital role in making sure the dumping of contaminated water meets international standards. The discharges continue to stoke fears among some locals and neighbouring countries like China. On March 11, 2011, a 9.1-magnitude earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Japans main island, generating a tsunami that killed 18,000 people. When the deadly wave h...

Editor: Regarding Karen’s letter pertaining to the upcoming drag show ( here we go again). First, we thank you for your undercover service, it must have been terrible for you

I will discuss the formation of primordial black holes and the generation of an associated stochastic background of gravitational waves, both induced from large curvature fluctuations produced during a transient dissipative period taking place during inflation.

Scientists are trying to understand the physics of the Indonesian bundengan instrument, which doubles as a duck herder shelter, before it is lost to history.

There are many open questions about the Standard Model of particle physics (SM), which is currently the best description we have of the world of particle physics. Experimental and theoretical physicists vie with other in a healthy competition to scrutinise the SM and identify parts of it that require further explanation, beyond the model’s well-known shortcomings, such as neutrino masses. Experiments carried out at the LHC and other facilities at CERN can detect specific signatures where data ...

Abstract: 

Abstract: Snowmass is a particle physics community study that takes place in the US every 7-9 years, e.g., the previous one was in 2013.

Catoosa County EMA, alongside Blood Assurance, is holding a blood drive Friday at 875 Lafayette Street.

NOTE: The workshop will be held at CERN and remote participation is not possible, because of the hardware involved.   What is this for?
