The article discusses the possibility of undiscovered long-lived particles created by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Topics include the design of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) and the A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS) particle detectors, the creation of the Forward Search Experiment (FASER) tracker in relation to the work of theorist Jonathan Feng, and the costs of possible detectors to be constructed.

The article discusses the Perfectalizer, a fictional device designed to create perfect conditions for physics equations to decrease their chances of being invalid.

The article reports that the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center has altered its name following disagreements with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), by which it is owned. The DOE wanted to trademark the name of the laboratory, while Stanford University wanted to protect the moniker that it created. The new name, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, reflects a shift from solely particle physics to a number of disciplines, including astrophysics and x-ray studies.
