Physicists are trying to find an elusive new type of particle called sterile neutrinos. But it's hard, because the particles only interact with other matter through gravitational force, the weakest of all known forces: Since their masses would be so tiny, their gravitational effects would be impossible to observe.

Taking lessons from the 2014 Ebola crisis, global health officials must increase engagement among countries and communities to better address emerging epidemics such as Zika, public health experts say.
Regulations still hold users of unpiloted aerial vehicles, or UAVs, to many of the same requirements that apply to pilots of crewed aircraft. The rules are about to change, but their impact is unclear.
To work toward clean energy, researchers are looting the toolbox of high-energy physics for new ways to measure phenomena under extreme conditions.
