Some first results from the new, higher-energy Large Hadron Collider
On 3 June this year, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN began delivering particle collisions at an energy 63% higher than previously achieved. This week in Vienna, first physics results were presented. Here are some highlights
The European Physical Society High Energy Physics conference is taking place now in Vienna. This is the first big chance for the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to show off what they have managed to extract from the new data they have recorded since 3 June, when the LHC restarted particle collisions after a two-year break.
The new collisions are at a higher energy - 13 TeV¹ compared to the previous record of 8 TeV. Since we are bumping up against the speed-of-light barrier, this means the speed of the protons increases from 299 792 449 metres per second to 299 792 454 m/s (the speed of light is 299 792 458 m/s). An increase of only 5 m/s, which doesn’t sound terribly important. But speed is the wrong way to judge the significance of the increase. The main point of high energies in particle colliders is that they allow us to see into the heart of atoms and study the structure of matter at tiny distance scales; in a way the LHC is like a giant microscope. Turning up the energy is like turning up the power of the microscope, and we are eager to see what that might reveal.
The ‘reveal’ doesn’t all happen at once of course. As well as the energy, the amount of data is also important, and so far we only have a tiny fraction of what the LHC will deliver.
Minimum Bias
One of the first things to do is simply count the particles produced when protons collide at these new energies. These so-called “minimum bias” measurements set the stage on which all other measurements are made. They tell us what a typical collision looks like, before we start trying to select rarer and more interesting varieties.
Both ATLAS and CMS have produced results on the number of particles produced in 13 TeV collisions. The ATLAS result follows the template of our earlier results at lower energies, and shows how well (or how badly) various theoretical models predict the energy dependence of the particle multiplicity. The CMS result is a bit different. It takes advantage of a data-taking period during which their solenoidal magnet (the “S” in CMS) was off.
Having no magnet is a bad thing in general, because charged particles bend in the magnetic field, and from that bending, their momentum can be measured. No magnetic field, no momentum measurement. However, with the magnet on, very low momentum particles get bent so much that their paths curl up inside the LHC beam-pipe, and they never make it to the detector, and so never get detected at all.
With the magnet off, those tracks can be detected. We don’t know their momentum, but CMS have measured how many of them there are and what direction they are going in. All useful information for constraining the theoretical models, and understanding the environment in which the rest of LHC physics will be done.
The Ridge
Another ‘counting particles’ type of measurement is the so-called ‘ridge’, first measured by CMS very early in 7 TeV data-taking, back in 2010. This involves saving a lot of events which are not ‘average’, but in which an unusually large number of particles have been produced. Then you look at the correlations between pairs of those particles.
The CMS measurement first showed a surprising ‘ridge’, indicating an increased probability of emitting particles at a similar azimuthal angle (perpendicular to the beams) even when the angle along the beam (the rapidity) was very different. This kind of correlation has been seen as evidence that a sort of plasma, or liquid, of quarks and gluons has been formed, and are undergoing some kind of “collective flow”... essentially following each other around. Such an effect is expected (and seen) in heavy ion collisions, but very unexpected in proton-proton collisions. ATLAS confirms the CMS result (and now at higher energy), and in the meantime a wide variety of alternate theoretical explanations have arisen.
The question now is whether new measurements can help us reject some of the those explanations, and perhaps zoom in on the correct one. If quarks and gluons really show collective flow in these collisions, that is a big surprise. Like the recent pentaquark results from LHCb, it’s an example of the puzzling and rich phenomenology of the strong interaction. The ATLAS summary of this result is here, with the detailed write up here.
Jets
Jets of hadrons are produced when quarks and gluons smash into each other at short distances. The shorter the distance, the higher the energy of the jet. In fact measurements of jets give us our first glimpse of this really short distance physics, the reason we went for higher energies in the first place.
The first ATLAS jet measurement at 13 TeV was released for this conference; so far it only covers the range of jet energies that we’ve covered before, but it shows that, as expected, these jets are produced much more frequently in 13 TeV collisions than at 7 or 8 TeV, and illustrates the potential of these measurements as we get more data.
There are more results coming, and things are happening so quickly that I have probably missed some good ones here already. ATLAS is in a frenzy of reviewing and approving preliminary results at the moment and I would assume that CMS, LHCb and ALICE are in a similar state. Apologies to colleagues, especially on those other experiments, if I have missed your favourite highlight - it wasn’t deliberate and it may well feature on these pages soon anyway.
In short, there’s a lot going on at the moment. And the best is definitely still to come, with updates on the top quark, W, Z and Higgs boson production and (my current favourite) the question as to whether this bump will be seen again in the new data or not?
Tera electron Volts - the energy an electron would acquire accelerated through 13 trillion volts of electrical potential.

Twitter removes lifted jokes over copyright infringment claims
Users left unamused as social media company replaces content subject to takedown notices with ‘tweet withheld’ messages, allowing 10 days to appeal
Twitter has begun to honour takedown requests from users complaining their jokes have been lifted wholesale and shared by others, passing them off as their own.
Certain tweets have begun to be replaced with copyright notices and a message saying “tweet withheld”. The blocked tweets offer users the chance to “learn more” via a link to Twitter’s policy on DMCA takedown notices.
A statement on Twitter’s policy page asserts:
Twitter will respond to reports of alleged copyright infringement, such as allegations concerning the unauthorized use of a copyrighted image as a profile photo, header photo, or background, allegations concerning the unauthorized use of a copyrighted video or image uploaded through our media hosting services, or Tweets containing links to allegedly infringing materials.
Users who are subject to DMCA takedown notices have 10 days in which to appeal, according to Twitter. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a US legislation targeting the avoidance of digital rights management that protects copyrighted work.
In the US, the law is assessed on a central four tenets which comprise fair use: the purpose and character of use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and the effect of the use on the potential market.
Twitter says that it will make a “good faith effort” to contact those whose content is removed under copyright claims, and the claims will be passed on to ChillingEffects.com, a database of online removal requests.
It appears Twitter’s policy of removing tweets that have been reported for copyright infringement is a new development in the past few days. The social network has always had rules around copyright, but these appear to be the first instances of users being referred to as “original authors” and “copyright holders”, as well as the removal of tweets for this reason.
The Verge website reported that one freelance writer, Olga Lexell, had tweeted about the DMCA takedown request she filed after the content of her tweet was taken without credit.
I simply explained to Twitter that as a freelance writer I make my living writing jokes (and I use some of my tweets to test out jokes in my other writing). I then explained that as such, the jokes are my intellectual property, and that the users in question did not have my permission to repost them without giving me credit.
Plenty of Twitter accounts, with thousands of followers, many similar to each other, comprise solely of lifted jokes and media. Some accounts have even joined together to form businesses, and the owners are making a lot of money.
Tweet theft and content appropriated without credit has been happening since the dawn of the social network. In 2013, a minister from South Carolina, Sammy Rhodes, who became famous for his witty tweets, was found to be lifting them from famous comedians. Even comedians themselves, including British star Keith Chegwin, have been found to have copied.

Musk, Wozniak and Hawking urge ban on warfare AI and autonomous weapons
More than 1,000 experts and leading robotics researchers sign open letter warning of military artificial intelligence arms race
Over 1,000 high-profile artificial intelligence experts and leading researchers have signed an open letter warning of a “military artificial intelligence arms race” and calling for a ban on “offensive autonomous weapons”.
The letter, presented at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was signed by Tesla’s Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Google DeepMind chief executive Demis Hassabis and professor Stephen Hawking along with 1,000 AI and robotics researchers.
The letter states: “AI technology has reached a point where the deployment of [autonomous weapons] is – practically if not legally – feasible within years, not decades, and the stakes are high: autonomous weapons have been described as the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms.”
The authors argue that AI can be used to make the battlefield a safer place for military personnel, but that offensive weapons that operate on their own would lower the threshold of going to battle and result in greater loss of human life.
Should one military power start developing systems capable of selecting targets and operating autonomously without direct human control, it would start an arms race similar to the one for the atom bomb, the authors argue.Unlike nuclear weapons, however, AI requires no specific hard-to-create materials and will be difficult to monitor.
“The endpoint of this technological trajectory is obvious: autonomous weapons will become the Kalashnikovs of tomorrow. The key question for humanity today is whether to start a global AI arms race or to prevent it from starting,” said the authors.
Toby Walsh, professor of AI at the University of New South Wales said: “We need to make a decision today that will shape our future and determine whether we follow a path of good. We support the call by a number of different humanitarian organisations for a UN ban on offensive autonomous weapons, similar to the recent ban on blinding lasers.”
Musk and Hawking have warned that AI is “our biggest existential threat” and that the development of full AI could “spell the end of the human race”. But others, including Wozniak have recently changed their minds on AI, with the Apple co-founder saying that robots would be good for humans, making them like the “family pet and taken care of all the time”.
At a UN conference in Geneva in April discussing the future of weaponry, including so-called “killer robots”, the UK opposed a ban on the development of autonomous weapons, despite calls from various pressure groups, including the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots.

The student found garbage saving, environmentally smart way
applicationup.blogspot.com - Desire to promote waste management bank in Indonesia, behind three students Indonesian Islamic University (UII) create applications based smartphone called Celi, an abbreviation of Celengan Waste.
Three students were Alan Dwi Prasetyo and Dantik Puspita Sari of Information Engineering in 2012 and Malichah Muchtaromah of Chemical Engineering in 2012 created the findings until won first prize in the annual event Pertamina National Science Olympiad (OSN) Software Applications category.
The team named this UII Celi managed to make a device that can be installed on smartphones to facilitate garbage bank managers and their customers, who come from the surrounding communities, the reported results in the form of garbage savings.
How it works, people just need to send notifications via the application Celi, then manager of the bank that receives garbage will make the pick-up to the officer, so the officer would go around to the house that are ready to deposit their garbage.
Each time the officer finished the weighing and recording garbage is taken, the waste purveyor citizens would automatically increase the balance point.
On account profile Celi applications that have been registered with the name of the depositor, the points accumulated can be redeemed for various gifts that have been offered by the management of garbage bank.
"The prize redemption points can vary according to policies related waste bank managers, for the simulation we've done in Mekarasri Garbage Bank, in the region of Brontokusuman DIY, for 55 residents earn points Mug, 200 in the form of flash points and prizes TV to residents who managed to collect as many points as 2300, "said Dantik, Monday (23/2).
Can a new update, is now drawing support Instagram portrait and landscape
Instagram photo sharing application, identical to the square-shaped images. Yes, since it was first launched, until being acquired by Facebook, Instagram retains uploaded images must be square-sized users. So, the user will not be able to take pictures or use the landscape format for Instagram.
However, there are different today. Instagram has confirm that users can share photos with landscape and portrait orientation, no longer limited must be sized square. This change also applies to videos uploaded on Instagram.
"Square Format has been and will always be part of us," said Instagram. Now, users can be much freer and easier to share photos and videos in ways that they want themselves.
To select a picture format on Instagram is very easy. Users simply press the icon format when selecting a photo or video to be uploaded, so that the orientation of the image can be adjusted to the shape of the portrait or landscape.
Instagram app has been updated with version 7.5. Users can download or upgrade for free through the App Store and Google Play Store.
Xperia will be present with a camera 11 MP and 4 GB of RAM

| Sony Xperia |
September beginning later, Sony confirmed that it would announce the smartphone with a better focus. Many media and fans of Sony expects that the smartphone Xperia Xperia or maybe Z5 Z5 Compact.
Sony is indeed not yet announced officially, but there are already some leaked images of the smartphone. According to XperiaBlog, there are pictures that are posted on the Sony Mobile social media.
Interestingly, according to the news, Sony will be using octa-core Snapdragon processor with 4 GB of RAM. Size is 5.1 inches, the Z5 will use waterproof materials such as some other smartphone Sony.
Interested to have it?
Apple will stop production of the iPhone 5 c?
 |
| iPhone 5C |
If you go to the Apple Store, so for now you can still buy iPhones the first 5 c launched in 2013. Yes, the iPhone is Apple's new novel 5 c to make smartphones with different materials, so users can buy the iPhone with more affordable prices.
However, according to reports from 9to5Mac, they claim that when the iPhone launched, Apple's next generation is estimated to stop iPhone 5 c. However, other smartphones are more ' old ' will still be produced Apple.
As reported by of Uber Gizmo, the report also adds that, on 9 September, Apple is not going to make the iPhone 6 c.
This is certainly very confusing, given the multiple reliable sources some time ago preached that Apple will show off the iPhone 6 c also in September.
For certainty, seems to indeed have to wait for September later to confirm on the part of Apple.
5 Reasons Why The Compulsory Turning Off Your Computer Shutdown
If I may know, in what way this time you turn the computer off when you're done using it? If the answer is by using the shutdown feature, you've done the right thing.
But what if directly pressing the power button long to happen 'death forced' on the computer? What will happen? And why computers should be in Shutdown?
1. Damage Power Supply
At the time of the shutdown, the processor gives orders to the bios to stop all work equipment components, so that the flow of power is unused or disconnected normally, but if we are forcibly shut off (unplug the power cord or a long press of the power button), current and power is not disconnected normal.
2. Processor Can Damage, Even scorched
At the time of the shutdown, the computer fan will work twice as fast for processor cooling process, if we turn off the computer directly, then cooling the processor is not working normally then over time the processor can be damaged.
3. RAM / Memory Can Be Damaged
At the time of the shutdown, System Memory will be emptied, so that when the computer is used again then the memory is actually in a state refresh, if we turn off the computer directly it is possible that the memory could be damaged.
4. Registry Being Messy
At the time of the shutdown, the computer will register on the used computer components (used) and software as well as data used or deleted. If we turn off the computer directly, then the component or the software and data used could not be saved into the registry.
5. Possible Hard Drive Bad Sector Experiencing It High
At the time of the shutdown, the computer saves all the processes that occur at the top to the Hard Disk. Imagine if it was the process of working, Hard Disk suddenly turned off. You can imagine what would happen, that damage to the cylinder Hard Disk or commonly called the Bad Sector.
This 5 technology of the future
Almost everyone in the world uses technology. the progress of time and development of technology is now really has given an important role in human life today.
So no wonder that many people continue to strive to develop technologies that already exist for the better. following some of the technology of the future.
1. Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is a tiny technology that can save millions of data and allows people to create and manipulate particles are super small.
2. Holographic television
Holographic television is a future technology that displays three-dimensional screen
3. Space Elevator
Space Elevator is a device that connects the earth with other planets such as space elevators lift difference carry out space.
4.Flying Cars
Many developers start thinking manufacturers to create a new innovation that each car can fly, so it is not only used on the streets alone.
5. Autonomous Robot
Autonomous robots are super smart robot created specifically with a particular expertise.
what is new from android m
Although not yet released, had circulated the news of the latest features that are not in the Marshmallow Lollipop Android. Here are some of the outstanding features of the Marshmallow, as reported by Tech Radar.
1. Fingerprint support
Some manufacturers of smartphones have been aggressively adding fingerprint detection facilities in their latest smartphone. However, you do not have to buy the latest smartphone to get a feel of this latest amenities.
Google will make support fingerprint detection on smartphones that use the Android version of Marshmallow. Users can unlock a smartphone with fingerprint detection.
2. Minimize consumption of battery
Google will apply Doze feature, in which your device will detect when there is no movement in the long term. So that the smartphone will consume less power. But even so, this remains Doze feature will display the alarm and notification of your smartphone.
Google also has conducted experiments on 9 Nexus tablet running Android Marshmallow and one using Android Lollipop. As a result, the power on the Nexus running Android Marshmallow can last two times longer than the Nexus running Android Lollipop.
3. Android Pay
In fact Android Pay can be enjoyed not only in the version of Android Marshmallow. Android Pay is also available in the Android KitKat up.
Users do not need to open the application to make payments, but you have to put the smartphone on a compatible payment terminal. You can also use Android Pay in third-party applications to purchase simple.
4. Charging the battery
If the smartphone using the Android Marshmallow, claimed to perform faster charging as support for USB-C. USB-C itself is a new type of USB connectors can be installed easily.
Google claims the device with a USB connector-C can do charging 3 to 5 times faster than the current microUSB lot on the market.
5. Google Now
Google Now advanced functions, making Google provides a shortcut for users who want to use Google's features. You only need to press the Home button a few seconds, then Google Now will immediately be used. Users do not need to close or leave open applications, making it more effective.
6. Display
If viewed from the initial display, Android Marshmallow still using Android 5.0 interface design at Lollipop. However, there is a difference that is not too flashy is 'scrolling' into a horizontal shape. You can also easily search for the desired application by means of a direct jump to the application. You just need to know the first alphabet that application.
Cool! The helmet is able to detect injuries in the head players
When your head hit a hard object, possibly on the surface looks fine. However, conditions in the head? Your head can be injured seriously enough, but the pain that you ignore it.
To check for head injuries, usually you have to check into a hospital or medical specialist. It, may take a long time and is less effective. But, thanks to a study from the University of Pennsylvania, a head injury can be detected easily.
As reported by the Uber Gizmo, the researchers have created a polymer that can change color depending on the injury that you experience.
If the user is hit by very strong in the head, the color will change and indicates a problem with your head. However, if the impact of the blow is not so heavy, so the color will not change or change is not too flashy.
This tool could work because of the holographic lithography that makes photonic crystals. These crystals have a structure that can change color when subjected to interference.
Interestingly, this magical helmet does not require electricity or external power to work. In addition, the helmet seems very light, so it can be used for a particular sport are vulnerable danger.
finally the secret behind the word android M revealed
If the month of May, Google only announced that the newest version of Android known as Android 'M'. Then, in August, Google officially announced the Android M real name as Android Marshmallow.
As reported by CNET, the largest search company in the world, does give the letters in alphabetical order starting from version to version. If previously named Android Lollipop, then Marshmallow is a fitting name for this new Android.
The name used Google is arguably unique. However, Android itself is a serious business for Google. More than 80 percent of the smartphone world now use Google's operating system, such as Samsung, HTC, Motorola, and many more.
The software is also the gateway Google to make more and more people use other Google services on their smartphones, such as Google search, maps, video site YouTube, Chrome.
Google's official Android called 'M' as Android Marshmallow
Android Marshmallow also has several new features that further facilitate the user using a smartphone. One is the Google Now users can access just by holding the home button on the smartphone.
Despite all the hoopla Marshmallow version of this, it seems there are still many users who maintain the version of Android ever before.
Until the first week of August alone, the Android version of Lollipop only used as much as 18 percent of all Android users. While 73 per cent, using two previous versions, the KitKat and Jellybean.
New, this Hangout site facilitates communication in browser
Hangout or formerly known as GTalk, now widely used by Google users around the world. Features that have been available through a web browser, Chrome extension, or access a Hangout from Gmail and Google+, now available on a web site itself.
Google makes its own website that is talkgadget.google.com for users who use the Hangout so much easier.
In these sites, a list appears last conversation with the attractive look of the site. Users are greeted with a greeting name, and can start a video call, the phone, or send messages to others more easily.
Users can perform some of the conversations in the browser, like the one in Gmail. You can also communicate via video with a group of your friends in the browser itself.
You do not have to always open the web page to see if there is an incoming message notification. Unlike Hangouts in Gmail, view 'tab in the browser will change if you receive a new notification.

2. RSM-56 'Bulava' (SLBM), Rusia
Bulava is a type of nuclear weapon SLBM (Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile) 6-10 armed with nuclear warheads of 150 kilotons of TNT bomb magnitude per fruit. The number was quite scary though nuclear weapons technology is often referred to not as sophisticated missile submarines.

3. LGM-30G 'Minuteman III' (ICBM), USA

7. R-36m2 'Satan' (ICBM), Russia
When talking about the most powerful nuclear weapons, perhaps the answer is this the Russian missile. So dangerous, NATO to call this missile under the name SS-18 'Satan'.
