By now, I think it’s safe to say that if you’re reading this, it means the world didn’t end on Friday. Which is rather a good thing, because a lot of interesting things have been happening recently! Even though I’ve [...]
Sonification of the Higgs Boson – the Sound of Particle
The July 4 achievement and the discovery of Higgs Boson particle, created new possiblities for the researchers who have ”sonified” the data from the Atlas experiment, by turning these scientific findings into music using data sonification. Working from results supplied by the Atlas [...]
A brand new boson?
It’s official. As was the subject of a press conference here in Europe this morning, the LHC has discovered a new particle. Is it the much talked about Higgs boson? Evidently it’s far too early to say with certainty. But whatever [...]
Mr Boson, I presume…?
When Peter Higgs steps out onto the tarmac at an airport near the franco-swiss border, it will probably be with equal parts trepidation and elation. CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and the world’s leading laboratory for particle physics, [...]
Physicists are Still Not Sure in the Continuing Quest for the Higgs Boson
The Higgs Boson is now called something of a half-truth after two teams of physicists conducted research involving the Large Hadron Collider. Though initial reports suggest that the Higgs Boson truly is there and does possess a mass around 133 [...]
