The LHCb experiment is charmed to announce observation of a new particle with two heavy quarks – Science Daily
An artist’s conception shows Tesla’s battery storage system deployed at a wind farm in South Australia. (Tesla Illustration) One hundred megawatts. That’s how much electrical power the world’s biggest lithium-ion battery system will store when Tesla builds it for the state of South Australia. And it’ll be built in 100 days, or it’s free. The […]
Image: 20th Century Fox In Andy Weir’s novel-turned-Matt-Damon-movie The Martian, the protagonist endures the harsh terrain of Mars by using his own shit to grow potatoes. The idea isn’t that outlandish—over the last few years, a NASA-backed project has been attempting to simulate Martian potato farming by growing taters in the Peruvian desert. While early […]
Physicists using the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, have discovered a new kind of heavy particle, they announced this week at a conference in Venice. The particle, known as Xi-cc++ (pronounced “Ksī-CC plus-plus”), is composed of three smaller elementary particles called quarks—specifically, one lighter-weight “up” quark like […]
The first total solar eclipse to pass from the West Coast to the East Coast in almost a century will see parts of the U.S. plunged into darkness over the course of the day on August 21. With only a month to go, Newsweek spoke to Jay Pasachoff, Field Memorial Professor of Astronomy at Williams College, about what the […]
Part of Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf will soon break away, spawning one of the largest icebergs on record. The crack in the ice shelf, which led to the birth of the iceberg, was monitored closely using radar images from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites. ESA’s CryoSat mission has been used to measure the thickness of […]
Eric Rignot, NASA and University of California, Irvine expert on Antarctica, told the Washington Post that the event is certainly due to climate warning, citing that Larsen C was next in line after the collapse of Larsen A in 1995 and Larsen B in 2002, both situated north of Larsen C. 7 things to know about Antarctica’s […]
Image copyright CERN Scientists have detected a new particle at the Large Hadron Collider at Cern. The discovery will help researchers learn more about the so-called “strong force” which holds the centres of atoms together. The existence of the new particle was theoretically predicted but this is the first time it has been identified. The […]
Latest lab tests show salt minerals on Mars kill basic life form bacteria, implying the ‘Red Planet’ is more uninhabitable than previously thought Hopes of finding life on Mars, at least on the surface, were dealt a blow Thursday by a study revealing that salt minerals present on the Red Planet kill bacteria. In lab […]
