HMD will Relaunch Existing Nokia Devices Under its Own Brand
It's predicted that HMD will announce the devices in the coming weeks. The post HMD will Relaunch Existing Nokia Devices Under its Own Brand appeared first on Phandroid. Not too long after the launch of its first wave of HMD-branded smartp.....»»
Here"s why we should put a gravitational wave observatory on the moon
Scientists detected the first long-predicted gravitational wave in 2015, and since then, researchers have been hungering for better detectors. But the Earth is warm and seismically noisy, and that will always limit the effectiveness of Earth-based de.....»»
Large Hadron Collider experiment zeroes in on magnetic monopoles
The late physicist Joseph Polchinski once said the existence of magnetic monopoles is "one of the safest bets that one can make about physics not yet seen." In its quest for these particles, which have a magnetic charge and are predicted by several t.....»»
Invicti Predictive Risk Scoring identifies highest-risk applications
Invicti announced its new AI-enabled Predictive Risk Scoring capability. The feature assigns predicted risk to applications and helps organizations gain a strategic view of their overall application security risk. Predictive Risk Scoring allows organ.....»»
CMS Collaboration observes new all-heavy quark structures
For over a decade, the CMS Collaboration, a large team of researchers based at different institutes worldwide, has been analyzing data collected at the Compact Muon Solenoid, a general-purpose particle detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC)......»»
Beta-decay measurements in mirror nuclei pin down the weak nuclear force
The Standard Model of Particle Physics is scientists' best understanding of the forces that describe how subatomic particles interact. The Standard Model encompasses four forces: the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic f.....»»
Ghost particle on the scales: Research offers more precise determination of neutrino mass
What is the mass of a neutrino at rest? This is one of the big unanswered questions in physics. Neutrinos play a central role in nature. A team led by Klaus Blaum, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, has now made a.....»»
Smoother surfaces make for better accelerators
With every new particle accelerator built for research, scientists have an opportunity to push the limits of discovery. But this is only true if new particle accelerators deliver the desired performance—no small feat in a world where each new machi.....»»

Two-dimensional nanomaterial sets expansion record
It is a common hack to stretch a balloon out to make it easier to inflate. When the balloon stretches, the width crosswise shrinks to the size of a string. Noah Stocek, a Ph.D. student collaborating with Western physicist Giovanni Fanchini, has devel.....»»

CMS collaboration releases Higgs boson discovery data to the public
As part of its continued commitment to making its science fully open, the CMS collaboration has just publicly released the combination of CMS measurements that contributed to establishing the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012......»»
Machine learning could help reveal undiscovered particles within data from the Large Hadron Collider
Scientists used a neural network, a type of brain-inspired machine learning algorithm, to sift through large volumes of particle collision data. Particle physicists are tasked with mining this massive and growing store of collision data for evidence.....»»
The Quest to Map the Inside of the Proton
Long-anticipated experiments that use light to mimic gravity are revealing the distribution of energies, forces, and pressures inside a subatomic particle for the first time......»»
Searching for new asymmetry between matter and antimatter
Once a particle of matter, always a particle of matter. Or not. Thanks to a quirk of quantum physics, four known particles made up of two different quarks—such as the electrically neutral D meson composed of a charm quark and an up antiquark—can.....»»
Retention ponds can deliver a substantial reduction in tire particle pollution, study suggests
Retention ponds and wetlands constructed as part of major road schemes can reduce the quantities of tire particles entering the aquatic environment by an average of 75%, new research has shown......»»
The next-generation triggers for CERN detectors
The experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) require high-performance event-selection systems—known as "triggers" in particle physics—to filter the flow of data to manageable levels. The triggers pick events with distinguishing characterist.....»»
ATLAS provides first measurement of the W-boson width at the LHC
The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 slotted in the final missing piece of the Standard Model puzzle. Yet, it left lingering questions. What lies beyond this framework? Where are the new phenomena that would solve the universe's remaining mysteri.....»»
Peter Higgs, physicist who proposed the existence of the "God particle," dies at 94
Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed the existence of the so-called "God particle" that helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang, has died at age 94, the University of Edinburgh said Tuesday......»»
