Google Science Fair

Ever wondered if the school’s science fairs to gain global proportions? And who knows, the awards could be better (and thus encourage more) than just medals? While we can only imagine, Google does. The search giant is hosting the first edition of the first science fair and world global online, with support from entities related to science, education [...]
Scientists narrowed the search for the Higgs boson

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 [...]
Large Hadron Collider All Set To Be Activated

Large Hadron Collider All Set To Be Activated

The scientists at CERN in Geneva are reportedly getting close to activate the world’s biggest particle accelerator known as the Large Hadron Collider to begin the experiment with which the scientists at the biggest physics laboratory expect to witness the environment and the situation at the time of the Big Bang. The time when the universe was [...]
Large Hadron Collider Stopped In Its Tracks By Bread Dropped By A Bird .

Large Hadron Collider Stopped In Its Tracks By Bread Dropped By A Bird .

One of the biggest particle accelerators in the world, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is the prized possession of European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) was hit by a piece of bread that was supposedly been dropped by a bird onto the outer surface of the accelerator. This bird attack effectively created “technical problems” in the [...]
CERN To Operate Particle Accelerator For New Experiment

CERN To Operate Particle Accelerator For New Experiment

CERN, the world’s most sophisticated lab for research and experimentation in the field of high energy physics has announced that it has re-activated The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in an attempt to successfully complete the particle collision experiment, that it the organization had begun in the year 2008. The LHC is the biggest and the most [...]

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 [...]
