Ever wonder if a particle collider could give you a faster way to cook your turkey, or how much antimatter it would take to power your holiday lights? Rudolph, Frosty and the gang invade the laboratory to find the answers.

A model partnership
Bucking the “ivory tower” stereotype, particle theorists dive into Large Hadron Collider experimental searches and come up with a new way to look at the data.

Ironing out an astrophysics problem
Using an X-ray laser, scientists unravel the longstanding conundrum of why extreme plasmas in space look different than expected.

Zombies invade the LHC in student-made horror film
Decay, a low-budget horror film starring PhD students and postdocs at CERN, has been released online.
US institutions are working with the SHINE experiment at CERN to better understand the particle interactions that produce neutrinos.
The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment took another step forward, receiving approval from the US Department of Energy for the first phase of the project.
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, the world’s largest sky survey, will rain a monsoon of data onto the astrophysics community. Simulations prepare scientists for the approaching storm.

Decay channel
When particles decay, they transform into lighter particles. Physicists can predict how often a particle will decay into certain end products.
The Fundamental Physics Prize Foundation honors leaders at the LHC and the CMS and ATLAS experiments with a special $3 million prize.

‘Human calculator’ Wim Klein advanced physics, inspired others
Math whiz Wim Klein, born a century ago, moved physics forward with his calculations as computer developers worked to catch up with him.
