From swirling oil paints to the grin of a Cheshire cat, this Physics World Stories episode brings quantum science to life 

It’s possible that the entire observable universe is inside a black hole. All we need to do to find out is … build a gigantic particle collider around the moon.Guest: James Beacham, particle physicist at the Large Hadron Collider at CERNFor show transcripts, go to vox.com/unxtran ... Show More

As an experimental facility, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva has been extraordinarily successful, discovering the Higgs boson and measuring multiple features of particle-physics interactions at unprecedented energies. But to theorists, the results have been somewhat f ... Show More

This week, a special tribute to the revered British scientist, Peter Higgs, who died on the 8th of April, aged 94. His friend, Lyn Evans, tells us about the 40-year search for the eponymous Higgs boson: the God particle that provides some of the answers to life, the Universe and ... Show More

Tonight, we ease into the story of CERN—the European lab where scientists study the building blocks of the universe. With Benjamin Boster as your guide, you’ll hear about particle accelerators, global collaboration, and the quiet pursuit of discovery. Happy sleeping! Want More? R ... Show More

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ Trillions of neutrinos are produced in our Sun through its nuclear reactions. These particles stream out at nearly the speed of light, and pass right through any matter they encounter. In fact, there are billions of them passing through your ... Show More

Dark matter is thought to make up around a quarter of the universe, but so far it has eluded detection by all scientific instruments. Scientists know it must exist because of the ways galaxies move and it also explains the large-scale structure of the modern universe. But no-one ... Show More
