Science teacher's suspension spurs petition drive
Cortines School's Greg Schiller was removed by L.A. Unified after two students' projects were deemed to resemble weapons. A popular Los Angeles high school science teacher has been suspended after students turned in projects that appeared dangerous to administrators, spurring a campaign calling for his return to the classroom.

U.S. Navy to test futuristic, super-fast gun at sea in 2016
The U.S. Navy is planning sea trials for a weapon that can fire a low-cost, 23-pound (10-kg) projectile at seven times the speed of sound using electromagnetic energy, a "Star Wars" technology that will make enemies think twice, the Navy's research chief said.

Big bang breakthrough: Who is the father of inflation?
Like the Higgs boson, the theory of an inflating early universe has many daddies – partly because it draws on disparate ideas in physics and cosmology

Einstein's Lost Theory Discovered ... And It's Wrong
Einstein's theory of relativity explains the universe. But — in part because of a math error — some recently uncovered work by the great physicist is wrong. Really, really wrong.

Out Of Antarctica, A 'Grand Slam' That Leads Back To The Big Bang
Physicists using data from an Antarctica telescope say they've observed evidence of primordial gravity waves — in other words, echoes of the Big Bang. If real, this may be a big advance for physics.

Scientists Say Their Giant Laser Has Produced Nuclear Fusion
Researchers from California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory say they've figured out how to get their laser to squeeze hydrogen atoms together to make helium atoms, releasing energy in the process. It's an important step in the decades-long quest for fusion energy.
