Geneva/Chicago: The world of science was upended last year when an experiment appeared to show one of Einstein's fundamental theories was wrong - but now the lab behind it says the result could have been caused by a loose cable. Physicists at the CERN research institute near Geneva appeared to contradict Albert Einstein's 1905 Special Theory of Relativity last year when they reported that sub-atomic particles called neutrinos could travel...

Geneva: Scientists at the CERN physics research centre said on Tuesday they had found signs of - although not yet conclusively discovered - the Higgs boson, an elementary particle which is the missing link in the Standard Model of physics. Fabiola Gianotti, the scientist in charge of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, said the signal was centered at around 126 GeV (Giga electron volts). "I...

Geneva: CERN physicists have moved the focus of their search for the Higgs boson, the particle many think gave the universe form after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, to a narrow band on the mass spectrum, a spokesman said on Wednesday. And science bloggers close to the research center are suggesting it might be clear by mid-December that the boson is a chimera and some other mechanism to...

London: A free new app on Google Android phones and tablets helps users view colliding protons in real time and 3D within the particle accelerator used by scientists carrying out work under the mountains on the French-Swiss border. The app, created by an Oxford team led by physicist Alan Barr and endorsed by CERN, Geneva, which operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has already been downloaded more than 10,000 times....

New Delhi: Will Einstein's 1905 theory of relativity - one of the most fundamental pillars of physics - that underpins "nothing can travel faster than light-300,000 kms, or 186,000 miles, per second" be proved wrong? The speculations started coming after scientists at the world's largest physics lab CERN claim to have clocked sub-atomic particles or neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light. European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN, near...

New Delhi: Nothing travels faster than light, that is one of Physics' most basic laws. Now scientists say they have seen something that can and that can prove that Einstein could actually have been wrong. Scientists at the CERN Nuclear research centre in Geneva fired neutrinos, which are tiny sub atomic particles, from their lab to another one, 730 km away. The neutrinos hit the target faster than even light...

New Delhi: You are reading this post on a website (or probably some variant of it) and it was 20 years ago, on August 6, 1991 that the first website went online. Tim Barners Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, had on this day, two decades back, posted a summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt.hypertext newsgroup and the first ever website http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html became publicly...

New Delhi: India has conveyed its concerns to France over its sale of armament to Pakistan amid apprehensions that such supplies are used for purposes other than fight against terror. "Yes it was raised," French Defence Minister Gerard Longuet said when asked whether such concerns were conveyed during his meetings with his Indian counterpart A K Antony and Chiefs of Army and Navy. India is concerned over military supplies by...

Washington: Voicing concern over the safety of its national Raymond Davis arrested in Lahore for double murder, the US has asked Pakistan to take appropriate security measures in the wake of multiple death threats received by him. "We are quite aware that he had received multiple death threats. We are concerned about his security, as we would be for any government official or prominent individual subject to those death threats,"...
