E' sempre piacevole stare a sentire persone appassionate del proprio mestiere: 18 minuti di attenzione meritati

Two years ago a physicist created this scale model of the ATLAS experiment in the Large Hadron Collider – out of Legos, as part of a public outreach program for CERN.

Now, CERN have designed a smaller version and if it gets enough votes on the lego website it could be put into mass production! It needs 10k votes - so lets make it happen IFLS!

PS: we crashed another website. Book mark this and come back later, but VOTE!

Metto qui perché è inerente

Più avanti potremo collaborare tutti per individuare e tracciare l'ingresso di raggi cosmici nell'atmosfera

I nostri smartphone o tablet sono infatti in grado di captare gli effetti elettromagnetici dei raggi cosmici che arrivano sul nostro pianeta, un'applicazione poi si occuperà di registrare il fenomeno ed inviarlo al centro dati alla primo occasione in cui ci collegheremo con una rete Wi-Fi.

[...] Called CRAYFIS for Cosmic Rays Found in Smartphones, the app records when and where the GPS-equipped camera on your phone senses high-energy particles and their levels. The app works like a screensaver reminiscent of SETI@home. So as not to interfere with normal phone usage or drain the battery, the app collects data when your Android or iOS device is connected to a power source and hasn’t been used for several minutes. That means that after you install the app, you don’t really need to actively participate much. Data will be sent to the researchers over wi-fi, and if your phone helped gather data that are ultimately used in a scientific paper, you could be a study author. Or if you prefer, the app can also run in anonymous mode.
