The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2026 #NobelPrize in Physics to Francis Halzen “for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.”
We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history.
The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy.
Here are my thoughts:
Today CERN’s #PhotoOfTheWeek brings you to the @CMSexperiment cavern. 🔍
CMS, or the Compact Muon Solenoid, is one of CERN’s general-purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
It has a broad physics programme ranging from studying the #StandardModel to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up #DarkMatter.
Here we have a view of the detector with its Endcap in an open position, something you don’t see often, as the detector closes before the #LHC is switched on and runs until the Year-end Technical Stop (YETS).

🎉 Happy New Year from CERN openlab! 🎉
As we step into 2025, we’re filled with excitement for the research, innovations, and collaborations that lie ahead. 💻
Here’s to another year of breakthroughs and inspiring possibilities. Let’s make 2025 extraordinary, together! 🌟
Met Robert Kennedy junior wordt een antivaxer de minister van Gezondheidszorg in de Verenigde Staten.
Voor wetenschappers is een controlegroep zeer interessant.
Voor de Amerikanen is dit echter geen goed nieuws.
Would-be dictators beginnen met wantrouwen te induceren tegen rechtbanken, tegen de media, tegen academici, tegen minderheden.
Dan boetseren ze dat wantrouwen bij hun volgelingen naar pure haat.
Dan kunnen ze aan de macht komen.
Dan sterven er heel veel mensen.
Dan wordt de dictator afgezet. Tenslotte zeggen we devoot
“Nie wieder”.
Repeat.

I’m equal parts blown away by what @SpaceX accomplished this morning but also with THIS LIVE 4K PRODUCTION the Everyday Astronaut / @considercosmos team produced! These shots live… unbelievable 🤯 just wait till we get our slow mo compilation up 👀 #starship#flight5#IFT5
