It seems the frequency of - 'Vendor 'X' IT hardware installed at CERN's large hadron collider' press releases has cooled somewhat over the months since Sneak last reported - rather like the superconducting circuits being used to deliver the magnetic fields needed for CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to dig out that rare beastie, the Higgs Boson or 'God Particle' as it has become known. Anybody reading...

Based underneath the line that separates France and Switzerland, the Large Hadron Collider has become the center of scientific endeavor for the general public to focus on. First prophesied to bring ruin to the whole universe (or at least that little bit that surrounds us), the LHC has now been deemed safe. Subsequently, knowing that it won’t blast us all (or suck us all) into a black hole, the LHC...

By Andrew Liszewski According to the BBC, Cern’s Large Hadron Collider is in the final stages of being lowered to a temperature of 1.9 Kelvin, which is about -456°F or -271°C. In order for the collider’s thousands of magnets to maintain a high magnetic field with minimal power consumption they’re required to be superconducting, so liquid [...]

Is there life after CERN? Will a black hole swallow the earth? Such titled PM magazine in its July issue that my husband bought and kindly showed to me upon my arrival in Germany. He means well, I should add, my blood pressure is often too low, especially after long-distance flights, and in such condition I'm not good for anything. PM is a popular German magazine that reports in a usually entertaining...

The FT spoil this otherwise mildly interesting article on the Cern Large Hadron Collider with this: ...50,000 tonnes of equipment have to be cooled to just 1.8°Kelvin above absolute zero... Wrong, wrong, wrong. "Kelvin", in this context, means "°C above absolute zero", which in turn is " the temperature at which nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance ... by definition, exactly...

I just finished reading a very interesting piece by Donald Perkins (professor of Physics at Oxford University, and author of one of the most appreciated books on particle physics ever written) on he discovery of weak neutral currents. He discusses in detail the events that brought CERN to announce the discovery in 1973, and the [...]

I understand that the folks at CERN feel like it's important for people to be aware of the LHC and get excited about it - at this point, it looks like it's going to be the only game in town in a few years for the frontier of high energy physics. Still, the steady stream of publicity (much of it arguing that they're going to unlock the secrets of the universe, prove string theory, find evidence of extra...
