Franklin will take over the rotating position for a three-year term after returning from Switzerland, where she is currently on sabbatical to analyze data from proton collisions in the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator...
Some scientists called it the highlight of their career. On March 30, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider smashed together two proton beams. Each was moving with an energy equivalent to 3.5 trillion electron volts, for a combined 7 trillion--a new world-record energy level. The victory was a long time coming for CERN, Europe's nuclear-research group, which for 15 years has pumped $10 billion into the setback-plagued project. The experiments are expected to reveal much about the nature of the universe, including other dimensions, dark matter and the Higgs boson, the particle that could explain...
Collisions between the two proton beams took place inside gargantuan particle detectors...
...Proline charges the bacteria’s proton motive force, and that’s what gives the microbe the energy to be virulent and produce the toxins,” said co-author Jason M. Crawford, a BCMP research fellow...
ROLF HEUER, director general of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on refraining from celebrating after the Large Hadron Collider broke the record for proton acceleration on Nov. 30, sending the particles hurtling at an energy of 1.18 trillion electron volts...
