Sophomore Ryan Carroll was injured halfway through the season and sat out for a considerable period of time. Carroll has only appeared in one college competition. Finally, freshman Matthew Hoyle is a highly...
...Four Harvard physics professors—John Huth, Joao Guimaraes da Costa, Masahiro Morii, and Melissa Franklin—remain intimately involved with the $8 billion collider, which stands as the most expensive scientific experiment ever attempted, and, when fully operational, may help bring to light particles and forces hitherto unseen...
