The LHC is ramping up in instantaneous luminosity according to schedules, and has just surpassed the measure of one inverse femtobarn of collisions delivered to the CMS experiment, as shown in the…

A couple of weeks ago the CDF and DZERO experiments have produced a combination of their measurements of the W boson mass. Besides two older determinations of this fundamental parameter of the…

I am just back from a vacation to Greece, where last Sunday was orthodox Easter. My fiancee Kalliopi is Greek, and it was about time for me for me to experience a bit of Greek customs. So we flew to…

Widely accepted theories of dark matter,  a mysterious invisible substance that can only be detected indirectly by the gravitational force it exerts, expect the solar neighborhood to be filled…

This is my first article in here. I found Science 2.0 all by accident, looking for articles to update my scoop.it journal focused on Nuclear Physics (in case you are interested here it is). My first…

Looking at the list of snarky puzzles, games with simple groups was a recurring theme. March 20, A Toy Model For Q8 Snarky puzzle What is required so that a system undergoing change can be described…

We seem to not be able to “explain” certain aspects like the nature of time, and not for lack of trying. Especially: We cannot explain a single subjective feeling in ways that satisfy many – not…

For once I allow myself some self-advertising... I just published on the Cornell arXiv the preprint of a proceedings paper I wrote for the Bormio 2012 conference on Nuclear Physics, where I presented…

Last week the Large Hadron Collider has started producing collisions at the record high 8-TeV centre-of-mass energy to the ATLAS and CMS detectors. In the course of the first week of run almost 200…

I don't have a proposal right now which makes writing a research driven blog a bit awkward.  I will only say I have a proposal when I have an action, and the action has been put into the…
