Doughnut-shaped laser used to create an optical fibre out of air

Shooting a brief but powerful laser beam shaped like a doughnut through the air created a light pulse that acts like an optical fibre, carrying data 45 metres

Replacement of the heart of the CMS experiment - the pixel detector, Part2 Date: 07-03-2017 This week, one of the Large Hadron Collider?s experiments gets a ?heart transplant?. --- Physicists and engineers are replacing the heart of the CMS experiment - the pixel #detector. This will improve CMS?s ability to make precise measurements on aspects of the Standard Model, including the properties of the #HiggsBoson. The #LHC and its experiments are currently preparing to wake up this spring, when the accelerator will begin to collide particles once more at close to the speed of light.

Physicists should take time to ponder the strangest ideas

There are other ways to explain wave-particle duality than Albert Einstein's, but we don't teach them. Excluding the conceptual challenges of quantum mechanics from the classroom limits our students, says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
