Working from Higgs' theory, scientists postulate that initially weightless particles move through a ubiquitous quantum field, known as a Higgs field, like a pearl necklace through a jar of honey. Some particles, such as photons - weightless carriers of light - can cut through the sticky Higgs field without picking up mass...
Yet so far no once has been able to find the Higgs boson in the stream of debris emitted when two particles are smashed together at high speeds. Scientists at another CERN particle collider, LEP, felt they came close before the accelerator shut down in 2000. Scientists using the Tevatron...
Members of the Cambridge School Committee discussed the possibility of implementing an International Baccalaureate (IB) program in Cambridge Public Schools at a public roundtable event yesterday. The IB program proposes “international education” for students ages 3 to 19 “to live, learn, and...
Somewhere between the giddy, manic weirdness of 2005’s “Get Behind Me Satan” and the gut-busting wheeze of last year’s “Icky Thump,” White Stripes’ prime mover Jack White decided to take...
...experiment, conducted at Harvard Business School’s Computer Lab for Experimental Research, a participant played multiple rounds of the Prisoner’s Dilemma with each of his or her partners. Points were tallied over the course of an hour to determine the relative success of each participant’s strategies...
