Inside the hunt for brand-new physics at the world's biggest particle collider
In 2012, utilizing information from CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists found a particle called the Higgs boson. While doing so, they addressed a bothersome concern: Where do basic particles, such as the ones that comprise all the protons and neutrons in our bodies, get their mass?
When the particle was lastly discovered, researchers commemorated with champagne. A Nobel for 2 of the physicists who anticipated the Higgs boson quickly followed.
Now, more than a years later on, there is a sense of worry. That's due to the fact that there are still a lot of unanswered concerns about the essential constituents of deep space.
Scientists are attempting something brand-new. They are repurposing detectors to look for unusual-looking particles, squeezing what they can out of the information with artificial intelligence, and preparing for completely brand-new sort of colliders. Check out the complete story.

I chose a walk with Gary Marcus, AI's loudest critic
Gary Marcus, a teacher emeritus at NYU, is a popular AI scientist and cognitive researcher who has actually placed himself as a singing critic of deep knowing and AI. He is a dissentious figure, and can frequently be discovered taken part in spats on social networks with AI heavyweights such as Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton (“All tries to mingle me have actually stopped working,” he jokes.)
Marcus does much of his tweeting on picturesque walks his home town of Vancouver. Our senior AI press reporter Melissa Heikkilä chose to join him on one such walk while she was checking out the city, to hear his ideas on the most recent item releases and goings-on in AI. Here's what he needed to state to her.
