CERN Press Release » PR17.12 04.07.2012 The Large Hadron Collider was constructed with the goal of hunting down the Higgs boson. Geneva, 4 July 2012. At a seminar held at CERN1 today as a curtain raiser to the year’s major particle physics conference, ICHEP2012 in Melbourne, the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented their latest preliminary results in [...]
a Spiraling Magnetic Signal found in the cosmic background
“Instead of one photon releasing one electron, these semiconducting nanocrystals can sustain a cascade effect where one photon can release two or three electrons”
“The impact could be big,” Yang says.

“An analogy between energy and power densities can be made with a water bottle. The size of the bottle is the energy density, while the opening denotes the power density. A large bottle can carry a lot of water, while a large opening can pore it quickly.”
