The idea of a Nobel Prize for filth ' awarded for the advancement of disgust, rather than peace, literature or physics ' would alarm the Swedes. But India's minister for environment and forests lives and works in a less squeamish part of the world, where such things can be imagined with less effort. He has publicly declared that Indian cities would win the Nobel for filth hands down: "Our cities...

It's the question I've been asking myself since the University of East Anglia CRU emails surfaced last week. I don't have an answer despite having read about a third of the emails. For guidance I sought out a bongo player-slash-raconteur. Here's the musician riffing on science: "...It is interesting, therefore, to bring it out now and speak of it explicitly. It's a kind of scientific integrity,...

Things evidently went extremely well over the weekend at the LHC, with simultaneous circulating beams achieved this morning. Speculation is that first collisions (at the injection energy of 450 GeV/beam) are imminent. Places for up to the minute information include here, here and here. Update: It looks like first collisions have been seen at [...]

Children exposed prenatally to tobacco smoke and during childhood to lead face a particularly high risk for ADHD, according to new research. The study estimates that up to 35 percent of ADHD cases in children between the ages of 8 and 15 could be reduced by eliminating both of these environmental exposures.

In a new study, the amount of television viewed by many young children in child care settings doubles the previous estimates of early childhood screen time, with those in home-based settings watching significantly more on average than those in center-based daycares.

A protein known to stimulate blood vessel growth has now been found to be responsible for the cell overgrowth in the development of polyps that characterize one of the most severe forms of sinusitis, researchers suggests. The finding gives scientists a new target for developing novel therapies to treat this form of the disease, which typically resists all current treatments.

Dimensional portal invasion back on track There were emotional scenes last night at the headquarters of underground international atom-smasher science alliance CERN, as joyful boffins celebrated the successful restarting of the Large Hadron Collider. The colossal machine circulated its first beam around the entire 27-km supermagnet circuit at 22:01 Swiss time, and sent the opposing beam round the...

Particle beams are once again zooming around the world's most powerful particle accelerator -- the Large Hadron Collider -- located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. After more than one year of repairs, the LHC is now back on track to create high-energy particle collisions that may yield extraordinary insights into the nature of the physical universe.

I admit it – when I was looking up the information for my last series of posts, I got distracted looking at other winners in all the fields (I had to find my personal favorite....actually not a US President, so if you are really curious, you'll have to check out my personal blog ), but I found a fun little connection to share, so hey, I can call it productive time! Marie Curie shared the 1903...

Aliens, gov planetbuster boffins, many others write in Well, this is it. In the early hours of tomorrow morning, scientists at the controls of titanic machines situated in mighty hollowed-out caverns and tunnels deep beneath Switzerland will begin to unleash forces so vast and complex as to tax the very limits of human comprehension. The mighty Large Hadron Collider, most powerful matter-rending machine...

This past winter a combined analysis of data from the two Tevatron experiments showed at 95% confidence level that the Higgs mass could not be in the range 160-170 GeV. This was a better result than expected: statistically the experiments should not have been able to exclude any of the mass range, but were [...]
