Read article 'Antiproton physics takes another big LEAP forward'
The latest in the Low Energy Antiproton Physics series of conferences in Bonn showed that this field of research is increasingly vibrant and exciting, as Walter Oelert describes.
Read article 'DEAR pins down kaonic hydrogen'
The DEAR (DAFNE Exotic Atoms Research) experiment at the DAFNE φ factory at Frascati has performed the most accurate determination of the effect of the strong interaction on the binding energy of kao...
Read article 'Variation in weak force found by E158'
The E158 experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center has made a landmark observation: the strength of the weak force acting on two electrons lessens when the electrons are far apart.
Read article 'Lattice QCD and CLEO-c tackle the CP challenge'
New results presented at Lepton-Photon 2005 provide important tests of the predictive powers of lattice calculations of parameters vital in the study of CP violation.
Read article 'Analysis method measures angle γ'
Up to a few years ago, no significant measurement of the angle γ in the unitarity triangle of B-meson physics was expected to come out of the current B-factories.

The SPIN 2004 symposium in Trieste provided a showcase for the latest developments in this key area of particle and nuclear physics.
Read article 'A November revolution: the birth of a new particle'
Frank Close goes back 30 years to when he first heard of the remarkable results from Brookhaven and SLAC that heralded the discovery of the fourth quark, charm.
Read article 'Framing Lorentz symmetry'
Experimentalists and theorists from around the world recently gathered at Indiana University to exchange the latest findings from their experiments in the search for the violation of Lorentz symmetry.

Beijing was also the meeting place later in August for the Tenth International Symposium on Meson-Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon (MENU2004), which was held at IHEP on 30 August to 4 ...
Read article 'BaBar finds direct CP violation in B decays'
It is a classic example of the question to ask aliens from a distant galaxy to discover if they are made from what we on Earth define as matter or antimatter. Tell them to make neutral B mesons and an...
