CERN is the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. It has been in the news quite a bit lately with the discovery of the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider. Something that many people may not ...

THE vector analysis of Gibbs and Heaviside and the more general tensor analysis of Ricci are now recognized as standard tools in mechanics, hydro-dynamics and electrodynamics. Their use not only ...

Data galore: a simulation of the particle tracks produced when a Higgs boson is created in proton–proton collisions at the LHC. (Courtesy: CERN) An international collaboration is exploring how quantum ...
