Explain it in 60 seconds: spin
Objects as large as a planet or as small as a photon can have the property of spin. Spin is also the reason we can watch movies in 3D.
A question of spin for the new boson
Physicists speaking today at the Moriond conference say that the new particle discovered at CERN last year is looking more and more like a Higgs boson
W boson published 30 years ago
On 24 February 1983 the journal Physics Letters B published a paper by the UA1 collaboration describing the discovery of the W boson
Fat antiatoms, laser beams and matter-antimatter asymmetry
