Read article 'Black hole is seen feasting on a stellar core'
Astronomers have gathered the most direct evidence yet of a supermassive black hole shredding a star that wandered too close to it. By following the event over hundreds of days they could identify for...

The Daya Bay reactor antineutrino experiment has observed the disappearance of electron-antineutrinos at a distance of about 2 km from the reactors.
Read article 'The rarest B decay ever observed'
With a branching ratio of about 2 per 100 million decays, this is the rarest decay of a B hadron ever observed.
Read article 'ATLAS experiment’s winter round-up'
The ATLAS experiment sent the results of more than 40 new analyses to "La Thuille", "Moriond" and other winter conferences.
Read article 'ATLAS and CMS search for new gauge bosons'
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations are carrying out a large-scale hunt for hypothetical heavy partners of the Standard Model gauge bosons, the W and the Z.
Read article 'New developments in the search for SUSY'
Although no sign of supersymmetry (SUSY) has been observed so far, it is still the front-runner as a signal for new physics that could be discovered at the LHC.
Read article 'MoNA makes first confirmed sighting of dineutron decay'
Researchers in the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) collaboration have found evidence for a new nuclear-decay mode at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University.
Read article 'Gamma-ray observations constrain dark matter'
Dark matter remains dark. The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope could not detect an annihilation signal from dark-matter reservoirs in nearby dwarf galaxies. This nonetheless constrains the properties o...
