After an unexpected measurement by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experiment in 2022, physicists on the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment (CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) announced today a new mass measurement of the W boson, one of nature’s force-carrying particles.
Researchers from the School of Physics & Astronomy have been involved in an important new measurement of the top quark made using data provided by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Feedback loops within a system can generate seemingly contradictory or paradoxical relationships. A cognitive system might have an internal model of its mental processes, which influences its decision-making and behavior. This internal model then becomes part of the system’s overall state, creating a recursive loop where the system’s representation of itself affects its own behavior.

I expect this around 2029/2030, so about 5-ish years. Phase 1 of it will be: hey Ai, i didnt really like that level, mission, story line, etc… edits on the fly. Phase 2 of it will be creating DLC on the fly. And, Phase 3 will be just telling an AI roughly what you want to play, and it tries to build it.

Engineers have long known that traditional aerodynamics models, used to design the blades of wind turbines and propellers, don’t account for certain real-world conditions. Though these formulas, established over a century ago, work well in basic scenarios, they falter when applied to high forces, extreme speeds, or complex angles. This has led engi…
What just happened? Researchers have successfully deployed a fully autonomous robot to inspect the inside of a nuclear fusion reactor. This achievement – the first of its kind – took place over 35 days as part of trials at the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s Joint European Torus facility.
JET was one of the world’s largest and most powerful operational fusion reactors until it was recently shut down. Meanwhile, the robotic star of the show was, of course, the four-legged Spot robot from Boston Dynamics, souped up with “localization and mission autonomy solutions” from the Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI) and “inspection payload” from UKAEA.
Spot roamed JET’s environment twice daily, using sensors to map the facility layout, monitor conditions, steer around obstacles and personnel, and collect vital data. These inspection duties normally require human operators to control the robot remotely.
One of the most surprising predictions of physics is entanglement, a phenomenon where objects can be some distance apart but still linked together. The best-known examples of entanglement involve tiny chunks of light (photons), and low energies.
