Boson Whitewater's Innovative Project Turns Sewage Water into Potable Water

Boson Whitewater's project converts treated water from sewage treatment plants (STPs) into high-quality drinking water. The project, located in Devanahalli, uses a managed aquifer recharge method to recover up to 75% of the potable water from the STP. The treated water is then pumped into Bagalur Lake, where it is blended with rainwater. From there, water is piped to Sihineeru …

The death of Nobel prize-winning British physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed a new particle — ‘Higgs Boson’ – will leave a void in the field of particle physics. The term is often connected to Nobel prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman referring to the Higgs Boson as the “Goddamn Particle” with regards to how difficult it was to detect. In order to …

Higgs Boson

Boson

London: Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed the existence of the Higgs Boson particle, also known as the 'God Particle', has died at age 94, the University of Edinburgh said on Tuesday. Higgs proposed the existence of the Higgs Boson in 1964, but the particle's existence could be confirmed at the Large Hadron Collider almost 50 years later. Edinburgh …

Chinese scientists from Hefei, Anhui province, have created a quantum supercomputer prototype that is able to solve certain computing tasks 10 quadrillion times faster than the world's current most powerful supercomputer. Developed by a research team from the Hefei-based University of Science and Technology of China, the computer, Jiuzhang 3.0, is able to solve a Gaussian Boson Sampling problem 10 …

Explained | The decade-long search for a rare Higgs boson decay

Last week, physicists working with the Large Hadron Collider particle-smasher at CERN, in Europe, reported that they had detected a Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson particle and a photon. For example, this theory, called the Standard Model, says that a Higgs boson will decay to a Z boson and a photon 0.1% of the time. This means the …

SCIENCE NOTEBOOK | CERN experiment confirms Standard Model got mass of W boson right

Published : Apr 06, 2023 11:00 IST - 2 MINS READ Scientists at CERN claimed that a new precision measurement of the mass of the W boson by the ATLAS experiment was in conformity with the prediction by the Standard Model of particle physics. The new ATLAS measurement is is more precise than all previous W boson mass measurements except …

Higgs Boson Particle January 1 was the birth anniversary of the physicist Satyendra Nath Bose. “It has been found, hasn’t it?” The episode is vaguely reminiscent of Ralph Kronig’s experience when he proposed the idea of electron spin to Wolfgang Pauli, one of his academic advisors, in 1925. But given the number of brilliant men in the fray here who …

10 years of Higgs boson | How the particle could unlock new physics beyond the standard model

Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles have mass. In the past decade, measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson have confirmed the predictions of the standard model of particle physics. pic.twitter.com/icxoUGdF29 — CERN June 29, 2022 Physicist Peter Higgs predicted the Higgs boson in a series of papers …

W-boson appears to be heavier than predicted by the Standard Model

Scientists have restarted the world's largest particle accelerator after a more than three-year break to conduct upgrade and maintenance work. The Large Hadron Collider, located near Geneva, is perhaps best known for helping confirm the subatomic Higgs boson in 2012. The European Organization for Nuclear Research announced the restart on April 22, saying that "two beams of protons circulated in …

THE new particle whose discovery was announced on July 4 at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva is in all probability the highly elusive Higgs boson, which was being desperately sought by theoretical high-energy physicists for nearly four decades. It is only by measuring the characteristics of its decay via various final states into other subatomic particles according …
