While the world's largest atom smasher was busy finding the Higgs boson particle — thought to explain why other particles have mass — physicists have been quietly building giant underground laboratories deep beneath the Earth. Full story
Physicists at an underground laboratory have caught an ultra-rare particle in the act of reappearing. Full story
(Reuters) - Biotechnology company Gilead Sciences on Monday said two trials of its hepatitis C drug, the centerpiece of its oral hepatitis C treatment program, met their goals in two late-stage studies. Full story
Physicists have put the first piece in place for a new detector to study the strange properties of particles called neutrinos. Full story
The final nail in the coffin may have been dealt to the idea that neutrino particles can travel faster than light. Full story
Sometimes, finding nothing is just as good as finding something. Physicists have made the most sensitive measurements yet in the hunt for a rare event that could undermine the dominant theory of particle physics, and turned up zilch. Full story
An apartment building is seen in the valley down from the Elbrus in the Caucasus mountains in Neutrino village, February 1, 2013. These days only a handful of the most intrepid skiers and hikers make it to Elbrus, which dominates the North Caucasus region, where Islamist insurgents from ethnic minor
Will plush neutrino toys become hot little numbers for the holidays because of the recent faster-than-light claims?
The detectors of the OPERA experiment to measure neutrinos rise from the floor of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics INFN's Gran Sasso Laboratory.
Underground facilities at the CERN particle-physics center on the French-Swiss border shoot neutrinos toward Italy's Gran Sasso facility, more than 450 miles away.
