This year marks the 100th anniversary of Wolfgang Pauli, who was born in Vienna on 25 April 1900 and died in Zürich on 15 December 1958. Maurice Jacob describes several events that have been arrang...
Over the 45 years since their discovery, neutrinos have changed from being a physics oddity into one of experimental physics' most powerful tools.
With quark-gluon calculations being extremely difficult, physicists have to use their ingenuity to get results. The most popular approach is to use powerful supercomputers to simulate a discrete sp...
With their ultrashort wavelengths, X-rays are excellent probes of finestructure. An international team at the DESY laboratory has developed a technique for attaining wavelengths of less than 100 n...
A team at Berkeley's Advanced Light Source has shown how a laser time-slicing technique provides a path to experiments with ultrafast time resolution.
Space, the ultimate scientific frontier, is being opened up by a new generation of satellite-borne precision experiments, many of which use technology perfected in generations of particle physics s...
Particle physics has always pushed computing and computing techniques to the limit - witness the World Wide Web developed at CERN. Continuing this tradition, particle physics at CERN will soon prov...
International collaboration has always played a major role in particle physics experiments. Could this also be applied to the accelerators themselves? Here, Albrecht Wagner,chairman of the directora...
The technique of muon spin rotation has become a major tool for the investigation of structure of all kinds of condensed matter and has even developed its own research communities. A recent major c...
