Elementary particles can be used to probe their sources or the material they pass through. The Geo-Particles component of the UnivEarthS Labex (www.univearths.fr) aims to develop methods of auscultation of the Earth using particles (neutrinos, muons) in two directions: - the use of atmospheric muons produced during the decay of radioactive elements in the [...]
The InSight probe, carrying the SEIS seismometer designed at the IPGP, landed on Mars this Monday, November 26. After years of research, months of tuning, thousands of hours of work, a journey of 485 million kilometers, and "7 minutes of terror", the InSight probe, the result of international collaboration and carrying the SEIS seismometer designed [...]
On Thursday 29 and Friday 30 November, the European Particle Physics Communication Network (EPPCN) will hold its autumn meeting at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) at the Zografou Technical University. The EPPCN was created in 2006 at the DESY German Research Center, Zeuthen, within the framework of the European Particle Physics Strategy. It [...]
The workshop aimed to give participants practical experience of using evaluation tools, as well as give Europlanet a further opportunity to pilot its Evaluation Toolkit, launched at EPSC 2018 in Berlin in September. Dr. Eleni Chatzichristou, deputy director of EURILST, is coordinating outreach activities of Europlanet in Greece in collaboration with Prof Ioannis Daglis who [...]
Did you ever wonder what it is like to be a scientist? If you’re up for a challenge, the BL4S competition is your chance to experience it. Any high school students from all around the world can join the adventure. The competition is open to teams of high-school students who, if they win, are invited (with [...]
Έξι χρόνια µετά την ανακάλυψή του, το µποζόνιο Higgs επιτέλους παρατηρήθηκε να διασπάται σε θεµελιώδη σωµατίδια, το γνωστό ως χαµηλό κουάρκ (bottom quark). Το εύρηµα, που παρουσιάστηκε σήµερα στο CERN από τα πειράµατα ATLAS και 1 CMS στο Large Hadron Collider (LHC), συνάδει µε την υπόθεση ότι το κβαντικό 2 πεδίο που βρίσκεται πίσω από [...]
Σε µια εργασία που δημοσιεύθηκε σήµερα στο περιοδικό Nature, το πείραµα AWAKE που πραγµατοποιείται στο CERN ανακοινώνει την πρώτη επιτυχή επιτάχυνση ηλεκτρονίων χρησιµοποιώντας ένα κύµα που παράγεται από πρωτόνια που µεταφέρονται µέσω πλάσµατος. Η επιτάχυνση που επιτυγχάνεται σε µια δεδοµένη απόσταση είναι ήδη αρκετές φορές υψηλότερη από αυτή των συµβατικών τεχνολογιών που χρησιµοποιούνται επί του [...]
Aims and Scope Europlanet RI 2020 offers a series of Outreach Experts Workshops, best practice meetings for a broad range of outreach providers and science communicators working both professionally and voluntarily to engage the public with planetary science.
