A banner day at the LHC

An artist honors the people and science of the CMS collaboration. There’s a new splash of color at Point Five, the home of CMS detector on the Large Hadron Collider. Five vivid banners drape the gray walls of the complex, lending the warehouse a cathedral-like atmosphere. Show More Summary

CMS harbors new physics beyond the Standard Model

In these days is ongoing LHCP 2013 (First Large Hadron Collider Physics Conference) and CMS data seem to point significantly toward new physics. Their measurements on the production modes for WW and ZZ are agreeing with my recent computations (see here) and overall are deviating slightly from Standard Model expectations giving Note that Standard Model is alive and […]

World's smallest liquid droplets ever made in the lab, experiment suggests

Physicists may have created the smallest drops of liquid ever made in the lab. That possibility has been raised by the results of a recent experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and most powerful particle collider located at the European Laboratory for Nuclear and Particle Physics (CERN) in Switzerland. Show More Summary

Cherries in the bean cake

What’s the difference between circular and linear particle colliders like the Large Hadron Collider and the proposed International Linear Collider? Symmetry takes a trip into the kitchen pantry to find out. Already celebrated for bringing the world news of the Higgs boson, the Large Hadron Collider is only beginning its long journey of discoveries. Show More Summary

Smallest lab-made drop of liquid might cause strange particle behavior

A new result from the CMS collaboration takes a step toward revealing the origin of the mysterious ‘ridge effect.’ The Large Hadron Collider is known for a list of impressive facts—it’s the world’s largest and most powerful particleShow More Summary

Google Glass Explores The Large Hadron Collider, Doesn’t Find God Particle [Video]

Google Glass isn’t available to the masses but that hasn’t stopped the technology from making its way to the Large Hadron Collider. A newly released YouTube video titled “Explorer Story: Andrew Vanden Heuvel [through Glass]” has debuted in which Heuvel explores the inside of the famed scientific facility. The particle accelerator is located nearly 500 [...]Show More Summary

Google Glass Goes to Large Hadron Collider

As a physics teacher, going to CERN to see the Large Hadron Collider was a dream come true for Andrew Vanden Heuvel. Armed with Google Glass, Heuvel's trip was even more meaningful as he shared every step in real time with his students...Show More Summary

Here's What The Large Hadron Collider Looks Like Through Google Glass

2 weeks agoTechnology : TechCrunch

If Google is worried about Google Glass being too "nerdy", they probably wouldn't be sending people rockin' the Glass into the heart of the most gloriously nerdy thing in the world, the Large Hadron Collider. Fortunately, Google doesn't seem to care (nor should they) if their amazing little experiment gets a few knocks along the way. As a result, we get videos like this one.

Particle Accelerators 101: If Only Every College Course Was Animated

3 weeks agoTechnology / Gadgets : Gizmodo

Are you still scratching your head over what a particle accelerator like the Large Hadron Collider actually does? Don't feel bad, the LHC is the most complicated piece of scientific equipment mankind has ever built. And unless you're a physicist, you'll probably never understand its intricacies.

Q&A with Fabiola Gianotti, Higgs hunter

Symmetry sits down with Fabiola Gianotti, who recently finished an eventful four years as spokesperson for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Physicist Fabiola Gianotti, one of the two experiment leaders who announced...Show More Summary

LHC passes ‘ping-pong ball’ test

Physicists sent an ultra-clean, miniature ping-pong ball through part of the Large Hadron Collider beam pipe to test for hidden defects. Sometimes the best solutions in high-energy physics research are surprisingly low-tech. Physicists...Show More Summary

A bike ride in the Large Hadron Collider as revamp begins

By Robert Evans, Reuters The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is only five years old but, after swiftly finding a crucial missing link to support mankind's main concept of the universe, is now entering a two-year revamp to double its power in the hope of breathtaking new discoveri …

Then strap this awesomely animated Higgs Boson watch to your wrist as a reminder that in no time the LHC will be back in business. More »

This supercomputer crunches Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data

Launched last year by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), "Gordon" recently completed its most data-intensive task so far: rapidly processing raw data from almost one billion particle collisions as part of a project to help define the future research agenda for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). read more

SDSC's Gordon Supercomputer assists in crunching large Hadron Collider data

Gordon, the unique supercomputer launched last year by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, recently completed its most data-intensive task so far: rapidly processing raw data from almost one billion particle collisions as part of a project to help define the future research agenda for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). read more

The Galaxy's 2010 April Fool's Uproar --"'Man from the Future' Arrested At CERN's LHC Escaped Custody -True Identity Discovered"

In 2010, The Daily Galaxy did a post about a would-be saboteur arrested on April 1 at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland who made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Many of the Galaxy's readers and...

CERN begins LHC upgrade, to hopefully ‘change our understanding of the universe’

Following the discovery of what appears to be the Higgs boson, CERN's Large Hadron Collider has been shut down so that it can be upgraded. If all goes the plan, the upgrades will almost double the power of the LHC, enabling the particle accelerator to carry out the second part of its primary mission: proving or disproving the existence of supersymmetry.

Next Theater Company: "The Bitch and the Jew Will Share the Back Seat"
