A proposed underground laboratory would be an important step in addressing three science questions of “paramount importance”, says a report released today by the National Academies.

And even before start-up, there were hints that the answers from the LHC might not suffice: both the Cern Council and the US theoretical physics community have been making a case for an even bigger machine, called the linear collider.

CERN1 has today issued version 1.1 of the Open Hardware Licence (OHL), a legal framework to facilitate knowledge exchange across the electronic design community.

Now researchers at DZero, an experiment at the Tevatron particle accelerator at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, have found the largest source of CP violation yet discovered.
