The first observation of neutrinos at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (phys.org)
The first observation of neutrinos at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider::Neutrinos are tiny and neutrally charged particles accounted for by the Standard Model of particle physics. While they are estimated to be some of the most abundant particles in the universe, observing them has so far proved to be highly challenging, as the...

Male power over females is not the default social dynamic in primates, says study (phys.org)
Male dominance has long been assumed to be nearly universal in primates, with female power viewed as a rare exception to the rule. However, according to researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, female-biased power structures or social equality between the sexes can be found within every major primate group and probably...
