CERN claims to have detected particles faster than the speed of light, Neutrinos have been detected breaching the ultimate speed barrier. Is this really true? The implications for physics might be huge.

CERN opens its door to non-European nations and Israel is the first to be admitted. This is more than just science – it’s building friendships.

Speaking at the Lepton Photon Conference, 2011, being held at TIFR, Mumbai, director of CERN, Rolf Heuer speaks on the road ahead after LHC. He also mentions the current goals for the LHC, saying that 2012 will be a boom year for particle physics with new physics around the corner.

Here is a small glossary of explanation of the various terms you’re going to ear in the coming week. Understand what the Higgs is, what spontaneous symmetry breaking is in plain language.

In this post, we post the actual data and figures presented at the Lepton-Photon Conference, 2011 being held in Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, in a joint presentation by ATLAS and CMS groups. He give the most important and relevant results.

The Big Announcment came at the Lepton-Photon Conference, 2011 being held at TIFR, Mumbai, India. The elusive Higgs Boson or “God Particle” remains elusive. This is one of the biggest pieces of news ever. What Next?

The Lepton Photon Conference, the biggest global event in the world of Particle Physics takes off next week, from the 22nd of August. In the conference till the 27th of August, the main focus of the talks and discussions will be the search for the Higgs boson. There is some exciting news preceding the event, too! Stay with us for coverage on this event.

The greatest experiment of all times – the LHC collisions at CERN – just got bigger. Now, you can get involved directly, just by sitting at home and allowing CERN to use your computer’s processor for their simulations. Here’s how you can join in this voluntary service to science.

The recent results, from the LHC runs in 2010 and 2011 have excluded huge probable mass ranges for the Higgs boson. This is both exciting and disappointing.

The ALICE collaboration strengthened their Indian connection by setting up a full-fledged center in India at VECC, India

The results of the LHC run in the last two weeks of 2010 have been released by CERN and it has exciting news about Quark Gluon Plasma.

The LHC has set a new record for the number of bunches in a beam and the luminosity. This is nowhere near the theoretical maximum, but is a significant step nonetheless.

A group of European Scientists at CERN are designing a gravitational wave observatory – named the Einstein Observatory – which will be at least a hundred times more sensitive than the current instruments for detecting gravitational waves.

CERN has announced that the ‘riddle of the Higgs boson’ might be solved within the end of next year. Either it will be detected or its existence ruled out.

A report has been released from ATLAS, CERN, which, after extensive analysis, has put to rest all rumors about any detection of the Higgs Boson – the God Particle, which is supposed to endow all particles in the Universe with mass.
