The Dawn of Physics beyond the Standard Model; The Frontiers of Physics; by Gordon Kane; 8 Page(s)

The Standard Model of particle physics is at a pivotal moment in its history: it is both at the height of its success and on the verge of being surpassed

The Search for Relativity Violations; The Frontiers of Physics; by Alan Kostelecky; 10 Page(s)

To uncover evidence for an ultimate theory, scientists are looking for infractions of Einstein's once sacrosanct physical principal

Solving the Solar Neutrino Problem; The Frontiers of Physics; by Arthur B. McDonald, Joshua R. Klein and David L. Wark; 10 Page(s)

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory has solved a 30-year-old mystery by showing that neutrinos from the sun change species en route to the earth

The Mysteries of Mass; The Frontiers of Physics; by Gordon Kane; 8 Page(s)

Physicists are hunting for an elusive particle that would reveal the presence of a new kind of field that permeates all of reality. Finding that Higgs field will give us a more complete understanding about how the universe works

The String Theory Landscape; The Frontiers of Physics; by Raphael Bousso and Joseph Polchinski; 10 Page(s)

The theory of strings predicts that the universe might occupy one random "valley" out of a virtually infinite selection of valleys in a vast landscape of possibilities

The Future of String Theory: A Conversation with Brian Greene; The Frontiers of Physics; by George Musser; 6 Page(s)

The physicist and best-selling author demystifies the ultimate theories of space and time, the nature of genius, multiple universes, and more

Atoms of Space and Time; The Frontiers of Physics; by Lee Smolin; 10 Page(s)

We perceive space and time to be continuous, but if the amazing theory of loop quantum gravity is correct, they actually come in discrete pieces

A Cosmic Conundrum; The Frontiers of Physics; by Lawrence M. Krauss and Michael S. Turner; 8 Page(s)

A new incarnation of Einstein's cosmological constant may point the way beyond general relativity

Information in the Holographic Universe; The Frontiers of Physics; by Jacob D. Bekenstein; 8 Page(s)

Theoretical results about black holes suggest that the universe could be like a gigantic hologram

That Mysterious Flow; The Frontiers of Physics; by Paul Davies; 6 Page(s)

From the fixed past to the tangible present to the undecided future, it feels as though time flows inexorably on. But that is an illusion
