Frank Kelly talks about his work on networks and how inspiration can strike out of the blue.

How simples rules can result in very complex outcomes.

We all know what symmetry is. But why does it play such a central role in modern physics?

Can simple equations really describe the complex world we live in?

Find out how scientists, from physicists to geneticists, measure their confidence in their results.

Have physicists at CERN found a new Higgs boson?

What do physicists at CERN mean when they talk about "sigma levels"?

CERN's Large Hadron Collider is one of the few scientific experiments to sparked wide-spread media coverage, particularly with the 2012 announcement of the discovery of the long-sought Higgs boson. So what really goes on at CERN and why the hubbub about the Large Hadron Collider, known as the LHC?
