LHC-style supercolliders are entering a make or break phase
Posted by Carse Peel in categories: particle physics, space
As the Large Hadron Collider’s first sign of a superparticle melts away, physicists must contemplate their nightmare scenario, says Gavin Hesketh
By Gavin Hesketh
Particle physics finds itself in testing times. This branch of science aims to describe the universe by pulling it apart into its most fundamental building blocks, or particles, and putting them back together in a way that explains how everything works.

Nexus: Choosing Sides In The Trans-Human Revolution
Posted by Carse Peel in category: futurism
Beyond the fights and the chases in Ramez Naam’s Nexus trilogy, it is an opportunity to consider how technology might move some humans beyond humanity, says astrophysicist Adam Frank.

There’s a mysterious object doing a crazy loop around our solar system — and scientists have no idea what it is
Posted by Sean Brazell in category: space
Scientists have nicknamed it “Niku,” which means rebellious in Chinese. And the object’s reckless behavior has scientists scratching their heads.

Quantum dots with impermeable shell used as a powerful tool for “nano-engineering”
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: 3D printing, chemistry, engineering, nanotechnology, quantum physics, wearables
I never get tired of talking about the many uses for Q-dot technology. One area that has me even more intrigued is how it is used in crystallized formations. I expect to see more and more experimenting on crystalized formations on many fronts including complex circuitry for performance and storage.
And, with synthetic technology today plus 3D printing along with Q-dots we could (as I have eluded to many times over several months) truly begin to see some amazing technology be developed on the wearable tech front.
Wearables could include synthetic circuitry stones in various accessories to not only store information, but also serve as another form of unique id because in synthetic stones we have been able (like in nature) create complex crystalized formations that are each unique/ 1 of a kind like a unique finger print, or iris of an eye. I expect to see some very interesting things coming in this space.

Dark matter hopes dwindle with X-ray signal
Posted by Andreas Matt in category: cosmology
A previously detected, anomalously large X-ray signal is absent in new Hitomi satellite data, setting tighter limits for a dark matter interpretation.
