First neutrino interactions detected at Fermilab: A step toward cracking the dark matter mystery?
The detector can see a whopping 7,000 neutrino interactions daily
In a nutshell: Neutrinos are the most abundant particles in the cosmos. In fact, an astounding 100 trillion of them pass harmlessly through your body every second. Because they rarely interact with other matter, they've earned the nickname "ghost particles." Yet, despite their abundance, they remain some of the trickiest particles to detect in the subatomic world.

And Action! An Examination of Physics in Video Games
Video game physics are something that we often take for granted. Programming physics into a game can be as simple as one or two routines, or as complex as requiring a separate physics engine to handle the computations. In this article we'll delve into the specifics of rigid body and soft body physics in games.
