It looks like the search is ever-narrowing for the Higgs boson: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2011/08/23/a-higgs-setback-did-stephen-hawking-just-win-the-most-outrageous-bet-in-physics-history/ Some may think this means its discovery is just around the corner, others may think...

Huge voltage "bump" detected in some proton-antiproton collisions could be evidence of major discovery in physics (NYTimes story here). The good folks at Fermilab sure sound [cautiously] excited. And while I'm no physicist, even I know something not predicted by the Standard Model would be a...

A couple of graduate students in Turkey have published the incredible number of 40 papers in 22 months in high energy physics, many of them in top journals (like the Journal of High Energy Physics). Regrettably, they were all plagiarised, they just cut and pasted big chunks of other papers and...
