Plane lightning strike lab opens
BBC Story:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-15295608
quick summary: A £1.6m laboratory to investigate the effects of lightning strikes on aircraft opens in Cardiff.
This may not seem to relate to antimatter at all, but this is a lab that tests the effects of lightning strikes. If, in fact, the lightning behaves in the lab the same way it does naturally then it could be used to produce antimatter like natural lightning does. It would require some complex set-up to capture the antimatter but it may work. This would help advance antimatter technology and get us closer to cool new developments.

Dark matter theory "may be wrong"
BBC News Story:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14948730
Summary: Scientists have been looking at the formation of dwarf galaxies and have noticed the formation does not match up exactly with their computer models. They realized this may mean their understanding of dark matter may be slightly off.

LHC puts supersymmetry in doubt
BBC News story:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14680570
It turns out that supersymmetry may not actually be a valid theory, which opens the field for new ideas for younger theoretical physicists.
