Lost quantum traces could reveal dark matter at the Large Hadron Collider | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Particle physics is entering a new age of exploration. For decades, theory provided a map that pointed physicists towards new particles and told them roughly what to look for. Now, as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) prepares for its most powerful incarnation yet, we have reached the limits of the map. In late June, the LHC shut down high-energy operations ahead of a major overhaul. When it switches back on in 2030 as the High-Luminosity LHC, it will produce around 10 times as many collisions as

As an undergraduate, to earn some extra cash, I spent my summer holidays working at a local pub in my home village (shout out Giggleswick). When punters heard that I was studying physics, a fair few of them divulged their own theories of how the universe really worked – scribbling on the back of napkins à la Richard Feynman. The weirdness of neutrinos could completely rewrite particle physics These days, as a features editor at New Scientist, not much has changed. I keep a folder in my inbox cal
Occam’s razor has lost its edge. Can we sharpen our search for truth? | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Limited by the knowledge of his time, the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy imagined that the planets and sun of our solar system orbited Earth. Every new observation that pushed against this image required a slight tweak to that theory, until centuries later Nicolaus Copernicus’s reimagining toppled it once and for all. A more elegant explanation proposed that all the planets orbited the sun, kicking off a scientific revolution that changed our understanding of the entire universe. Simpler expla
