Scientists close in on possible ‘God particle’

Scientists say they have found signs of the elusive Higgs boson, known as the ‘God particle’, which is thought to give atoms their mass.

The elementary sub-atomic particle is believed to have played a vital role in the creation of the universe after the Big Bang.

The leaders of two independent experiments, Atlas and CMS, revealed their findings to a packed seminar at the CERN physics research centre near Geneva, where they have tried to find traces of the boson by smashing particles together at near light-speed in the Large Hadron Collider.

Bend Desk is a prototype interactive display that takes the digital workspace from the screen to the desktop by the media computing group at RWTH aachen university. While a typical work setup combines a flat desktop with a vertical computer screen, bend desk combines the two into one single unit. bend desk is a vision for a future workspace that allows continuous interaction between both areas. using multi-touch technology, the display curves from a horizontal plane to a vertical plane.
