On 10 August, the Greek government formally approved the establishment of a national NESTOR Institute for Deep Sea Research, Technology and Neutrino Astroparticle Physics.
Read article 'Particles for export'
With CERN's site straddling the FrancoSwiss frontier near Geneva, exporting particle beams is an everyday occurrence. Now a new proposal foresees CERN particles also being exported to Italy, for u...

The Monopole, Astrophysics and Cosmic Ray Observatory (MACRO) is an underground muon detector at Gran Sasso, which is now adding to the evidence for neutrino oscillations.
Read article 'Neutrino oscillations NOW'
Neutrinos are never far from the physics headlines. Neutrino oscillations when different types of neutrinos transform among themselves has emerged as the big talking point of 1998. A topical...
