CERN Hadron Collider

Leonardo da Vinci didn’t invent the Large Hadron Collider, but if he had, this is what his sketches may have looked like. These drawings are the work of Dr. Sergio Cittolin, a research physicist who’s been at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) for more than 30 years. A lifelong doodler, Cittolin is in charge of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the LHC, and was inspired to compose his da Vinci-style sketches years before collider operations became a reality. His...Read Full Story

Among terrorism scenarios that raise the most concern are attacks involving nuclear devices or materials. For that reason, technology that can effectively detect smuggled radioactive materials is considered vital to U.S. security.Georgia Tech Research Institute researchers Brent Wagner (l) and Bernd Kahn are using novel materials and nanotechnology techniques to develop improved radiation detection.  Credit: Gary MeekTo support the nation’s nuclear-surveillance capabilities, researchers at...Read Full Story

Sure, concerns about the Large Hadron Collider creating a world-destroying black hole may have been more or less put to rest, but there’s still plenty of pressing questions that remain unanswered. Like, what would happen if you put your hand in the beam? The folks from Sixty Symbols recently asked some physicists that very question and got some rather puzzled responses, so they went straight to CERN itself to get a definitive answer. You can see that in full after the break, but the short...Read Full Story

Breast health check is also noteworthy for women. Breast health problems, namely breast cancer is one of the major threat to women. However, often the presence of cancer is not known since dini.Banyak women who are not aware of esophageal cancer paydara, until an advanced stage. In fact, the earlier the cancer is found will increase the chances of the patient to be free of cancer.However, breast cancer lump is still under an inch is usually not able to be felt, so that periodic checks should...Read Full Story

Large Hadron Collider (LHC)   The LHC: or how the world’s largest experiment can investigate matter’s smallest constituents The Royal Society, London http://royalsociety.org/events/2007/lhc/?gclid=CIn06PGmnrACFdEDQAod2UAdaQ     I am much fascinated by the experiments being made by the scientists of the world to understand the Work of the one true God; as I am fascinated by the Word of Him revealed on the hearts of perfect human beings like Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad...Read Full Story

Breast cancer is a major threat to women. However, the presence of cancer is often not caught early. About 60 percent of breast cancer patients with advanced cancer come. In fact, the earlier the cancer is found will increase the chances of the patient to be free of cancer. In order to maintain breast health, particularly women are advised to do Breast Self-Examination on a regular basis, usually several days after menstruation. But breast cancer is still in bawahsatu centimeter lump usually...Read Full Story

The most powerful particle accelerators are found in space: some subatomic particles that rain down from space on earth's atmosphere have energies up to one hundred million times higher than those created in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful accelerator on earth.  Illustration of the IceCube sensors (photomultipliers), of which more than 5000 are deployed up to 2.5km deep in the Antarctic ice.  Credit: NSF/J.

University of Granada researchers, in collaboration with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), are working on the development of an extremely precise communications and synchronization system that has an accuracy of one nanosecond. Researchers plan to integrate this system into CERN's accelerators, more specifically, into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator.The new system will be used to control experiments with...Read Full Story

The Paris court sentenced a physicist of Algerian origin, who worked at the Large Hadron Collider, to five years in prison for organizing the 2009 assassination attempt on President Nicolas Sarkozy. According to the newspaper Le Parisien, Adlen Ishor also convicted in the preparation of several terrorist attacks. LHC Facility in Switzerland Physics caught in the e-mails with a representative of “Al-Qaeda.” In one letter, he agreed to join the French terrorist cell. In addition, the home...Read Full Story

Scientists at TU Delft’s Kavli Institute and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM Foundation) have succeeded for the first time in detecting a Majorana particle. In the 1930s, the brilliant Italian physicist Ettore Majorana deduced from quantum theory the possibility of the existence of a very special particle, a particle that is its own anti-particle: the Majorana fermion. That ‘Majorana’ would be right on the border between matter and anti-matter.Nanoscientist Leo...Read Full Story
