New Kerala: Yesterday kicked off the 2011 International Europhysics Conference on High-Energy Physics in Grenoble, France. Results will be presented from all fields of research, including the Large Hadron Collider experiments at CERN. “So far we’ve collected as much data as was planned for the whole of 2011, and that’s already a great achievement for the LHC,” said CERN director general Rolf Heuer. “While it’s still too early for the biggest discoveries, the experiments are already accumulating interesting results.” Among the announcements to be expected at the conference are reports from the LHC collaborations on intriguing observations by the D0 experiments and by the Collider Detector at Fermilab in the US.
The finding that the Saturnian moon may host layers of icy slush instead of a global ocean could change how planetary scientists think about other icy moons as well.
Modeling the shapes of tree branches, neurons, and blood vessels is a thorny problem, but researchers have just discovered that much of the math has already been done.
