Rare find backs shape-shifting neutrino

Physicists announced further proof Wednesday for a theory that mysterious particles called neutrinos which go ‘missing’ on the journey from the Sun to Earth are in fact shape-shifting along the way, arriving undetected.   Original post on phys.org    Comments on reddit.com   

Just Add Water: How Scientists Are Using Silicon to Produce Hydrogen on Demand

Buffalo NY (SPX) Jan 25, 2013 – Super-small particles of silicon react with water to produce hydrogen almost instantaneously, according to University at Buffalo researchers. In a series of experiments, the scientists created spher   Original post on spacedaily.com    Comments on reddit.com   

Two Higgs Bosons? CERN Scientists Revisit Large Hadron Collider Particle Data

By Michael MoyerA month ago scientists at the Large Hadron Collider released the latest Higgs boson results. And although the data held few obvious surprises, most intriguing were the results that scientists didn’t share. The original Higgs data from back in July had shown that the Higgs seemed to be decaying into two photons more often than it should—an enticing though faint hint of something new, some sort of physics beyond our understanding.   Original post on huffingtonpost.com    Comments on reddit.com   

Particle physicists confirm arrow of time

Four years after its closure, researchers working with data from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center’s particle physics experiment BaBar (pictured right, in Menlo Park, California) have used the data to make the first direct measurement confirming that time does not run the same forwards as backwards – at least for the B mesons that the experiment produced during its heyday.

“The Electric Universe” -A New NASA Mission

Beyond Earth’s protective atmosphere and extending all the way through interplanetary space, electrified particles dominate the scene. Indeed, 99% of the universe is made of this electrified gas, known as plasma. Two giant donuts of this plasma surround Earth, trapped…   Original post on dailygalaxy.com    Comments on digg.com
