It’s good news for those keen on particle physics, but bad news for those who thought we’d narrowly escaped the world’s end: the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is back on track!
The LHC is a huge atom smasher, located near Geneva, Switzerland, which scientists hope will give us some info on how the universe began and what [...]

David Bradley over at ScienceBase has posted a list of ten writing tips for scientists, several of which are worth science writers [...]

A great example of multi-layered, interactive science communication and is proving a hit (something like [...]
