Scientists are relying on the experiment to unlock several of the universe's mysteries (for example, how matter in the universe acquires mass) by providing hard data on subatomic matter from which cosmologists and theoretical physicists can extrapolate. But they have less exalted reasons to hope for the LHC's...
To measure that sensitivity, researchers conducted two tests. In one, they showed volunteers a series of photos that included some threatening images - for example, a picture of a man with a spider on his face or an infected open wound - while measuring the electrical conductance of the volunteers' skin, a...
Joe Biden was no better in his coarse challenge to Republicans who promise to help parents of children "born with a birth defect." "Well, guess what, folks?" he said. "If you care about it, why don't you support stem-cell research?" Well, they do; just not all the forms...
It is time we stopped pretending the 21 law is a wondrous panacea for our problems. With that in mind, the time has come to experiment with more creative solutions. Among suggestions proposed by the Amethyst Initiative and other economics and policy experts include instituting mandatory alcohol training courses, graduated...
For the moment, scientists call these unknowns "dark energy" and "dark matter," respectively. The LHC, by examining the subatomic building blocks of the universe, might explain these mysteries and many others, much as a doctor diagnoses a patient by studying blood work. But according to Tejinder Virdee, a particle physicist...
