Antihydrogen forms an ideal study subject for deciphering the secrets of fundamental physics due to it being the most simple anti-matter atom. However, keeping it from casually annihilating itself along …read more Continue reading Boosting Antihydrogen Production using Beryllium Ions
The Bendix G-15 refurbished by [David at Usagi Electric] is well known as the oldest digital computer in North America. The question [David] gets most is “what can you do …read more Continue reading CERN’s Large Hadron Collider Runs on A Bendix G-15 in 2025
Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Black hole, Supermassive black hole, As… Continue reading Plasma fireballs from black holes are now being made here on Earth
Professor Peter Higgs has died aged 94. The theoretical physicist was best known for his prediction of a key elementary particle, the Higgs boson, which earned him the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics soon after its discovery.Continue ReadingCategory: Physi… Continue reading Professor Peter Higgs, renowned for Higgs boson prediction, dies aged 94
Shifting from giant accelerators 26 km (16 miles) across to brain surgery theaters, a particle detector first developed by physicists at CERN is being used by scientists in Germany to treat brain tumors with greater precision and safety.Continue Readin… Continue reading CERN’s particle accelerator tech is turned on brain tumors
Antimatter has intrigued and confounded physicists for almost a century, and the effect of gravity on antimatter has been a point of disagreement. New research may have settled the debate by finding that antihydrogen atoms, the antimatter counterpart o… Continue reading Antigravity disproved: Antimatter responds to gravity just like matter
For those of us who like to crawl over complex systems, spending hours or even days getting hardware and software to work in concert, working at places like NASA or …read more Continue reading Daniel Valuch Chats About CERN’s High Caliber Hacking
