New particle hopes fade as LHC data 'bump' disappears
Media captionDisappointment: Cern's Dr Marco Delmastro speaks to Horizon on BBC2 Hopes for the imminent discovery of a particle that might fundamentally change our understanding of the Universe have been put on hold. Results from the Large Hadron Collider show that a "bump" in the machine's data, previously rumoured to represent a new particle, has gone away.The discovery of new particles, which could trigger a paradigm shift in physics, may still be years away.All the latest LHC results ar..>> view originalFacebook Updates Its News Feed Algorithm To Target Clickbait

U.S. wireless carriers are talking about raising prices. But the impending arrival of a new iPhone could be reason to doubt their sincerity. Verizon Communications already raised prices last month, and Sprint and T-Mobile US have stated their willingness to consider the same. AT&T, which hasn’t changed its pricing in almost a year, could also be due for an increase. But price increases in a competitive industry are only...>> view originalNew Form Of Light Could Make Study Of Quantum Phenomena Easier
In a development that could greatly help the study of quantum phenomena, scientists have created a theoretical model for a new form of light that combines the properties of photons and electrons. If turned into reality, the new light form could also be used to make electrical circuits which at present use electrons for conduction.Scientists from Imperial College London published a study in the journal Nature Communications on Friday that shows “it is possible to create a new form of light by bin..>> view originalGoogle's Self-Driving Car Leader Exits
The face of the Google self-driving car effort has left the project at a crucial juncture as the company tries to transition its driverless-car technology into a commercial product. Chris Urmson, the project’s chief technology officer and former director, said in a blog post Friday that he was leaving Google parent Alphabet Inc. and was “ready for a fresh challenge.” He gave no clear reason for his departure nor hint of his...>> view originalApple is buying a Seattle-area startup to get smarter about artificial intelligence
