Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

On July 4, 2012, scientists at CERN confirmed the observation of the Higgs boson, an elementary particle first proposed in the 1960s. The boson’s discovery was a momentous occasion, as it meant ...

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...
