Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko May Be In the Limelight, But It’s Still Very Gray

Medicine & Technology Dec 13, 2014

Early images of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko described the topography of the space rock, and gave researchers a unique view of the rocky surface. But what ESA astronomers on the Rosetta space team were not expecting was that early black & white images may also be conveying the comet’s truer colors.

Could A Techni-Particle Save Us from the Universe’s Undoing?

Nov 08, 2014

In the preface to a new book entitled “Starmus”, published last month, Cambridge cosmologist Stephen Hawking said that if indeed the particle is the Higgs Boson, then CERN’s discovery could lead to the demise of the universe if its contents were to become unstable. But a new research analysis published this month in the journal Physical Review D, says that Hawking and the rest of the universe may need not fear, because the particle may in fact not be what it appears.

Could Large Hadron Collider Discovery Be Something Else? Researchers Look to Techni-Higgs Particles

Nov 08, 2014

The Higgs Boson particle has been at the center of theoretical physics debates for quite some time now, and while the elusive particle is conjectured to be at the center of every atom, giving them their mass, researchers have been hard-pressed to prove its existence. Last year, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) revealed that an anomaly discovered in the Large Hadron Collider when atoms were compounded together may have in fact been the Higgs Boson, however, new research says that they may have been mistaken. And the particle CERN found may very well be something entirely different.
