Scientists narrowed the search for the Higgs boson

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, United States, narrowed the search for the Higgs boson, the so-called God Particle. Although this particle has not yet been found, the results announced today exclude a mass anywhere between 158 and 175 GeV/c ², with 95% probability. The Higgs boson, called the God Particle, was proposed by Peter [...]
Large Hadron Collider Breaks Proton Speed Record

Large Hadron Collider Breaks Proton Speed Record

The Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) broke the record for the fastest Proton travel, as it sent a beam of particles at 20 times more than the speed that was expected out of the world’s biggest and largest particle accelerator. The speed at which the particles are collided with each is extremely crucial [...]

The physics of ‘Angels and Demons’: anything is possible in movies

The plot is action-suspense formula: some stolen antimatter from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider and a threat to use that antimatter to blow up the Vatican during Conclave, by the Illuminati or some scientists driven underground during the 17th century and who are now going to make the Vatican pay by killing thousands of innocent people. ‘Angels [...]
