Particle Decelerator: The Beam of Darkness
http://decelerator.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-beam-of-darkness.html
Slowing down particles of quantum and cosmological data. Sunday, 15 December 2013. The Beam of Darkness. This week, engineers from Singapore. Released details of a fascinating prototype which takes a radically different approach to the creation of an invisibility cloak. Whilst still popularly considered the realm of science fiction, many working prototypes for 'invisibility cloaks' have been demonstrated. In the past few years, most using metamaterials. And some using tiny antennae. In their full paper.

Slowing down particles of quantum and cosmological data. Friday, 21 June 2013. Plants doing quantum physics. This week the fledgling field of quantum biology. Took a major step forward with the publication of a significant study in Science. In the study, scientist, Niek van Hulst, and colleagues at the Institute of Photonic Sciences. As Jason Palmer writes. Has for some years now been suggesting a far deeper entanglement between large complex biological organisms and quantum mechanics. Various resear...

Particle Decelerator: There, but invisible
http://decelerator.blogspot.com/2013/12/there-but-invisible.html
Slowing down particles of quantum and cosmological data. Tuesday, 31 December 2013. There, but invisible. By Anthony McCall. Commissioned by AV Festival 2006. In physics, the darkness is the most illuminating place to look, if you want to understand the Universe right now. This year, Planck. Told us that 26.8% of all matter is dark. And that the energy responsible for that - dark energy. Accounts for 68.3% of all energy. But what this means is that we live in some of the most exciting times imaginable.

Particle Decelerator: Primordial Gravitational Waves and Cosmic Inflation
http://decelerator.blogspot.com/2014/03/primordial-gravitational-waves-and.html
Slowing down particles of quantum and cosmological data. Monday, 17 March 2014. Primordial Gravitational Waves and Cosmic Inflation. Today might turn out to be a historic day for the field of cosmology. At 16:00 UTC at the at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, physicists will be announcing. What they are describing as a "major discovery". Since the news of the announcement broke last week, the cosmology community has been awash with rumours as to what the discovery might be. Posited by Alan Guth.

Particle Decelerator: January 2013
http://decelerator.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Slowing down particles of quantum and cosmological data. Sunday, 20 January 2013. Can particle physics transform our online experience? One of the more intriguing papers we've happened upon early this year is some research from the University of Fribourg. Which suggests that particle physics can improve the technology behind recommendation systems. But what on earth does particle physics have to do with software like that? Well, a group of researchers at the at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland.
