Mammuthus Primigenius

Hello...

This page is rather dull, read one of these instead.

Baby Sex Selection...if you have always wanted a boy...or if you long for a little girl...
The Higgs Boson...referred to as the 'holy grail of particle physics' or the 'God particle'...
The Standard Model of Particle Physics...the best theory currently available to answer the question 'What is the world made of?'...
The Hubble Space Telescope...for astronomers probably the most important space probe ever launched...
DNA Fingerprinting...identifies the DNA from a certain individual to track down criminals, test the parentage of children, and to follow the evolution of species...
Radiocarbon Dating...the single most useful dating technique available to archaeologists...
Gran Sasso, Italy...a mountain range, a national park, and a particle physics laboratory...
Symmetry and CP violation ...there is a small difference between matter and antimatter...
Adaptive Optics and Laser Stars...technology developed during the Cold War to search for satellites, now used by astronomers to image distant stars and galaxies, and could soon allow surgeons to examine the retina of a human eye...
Antimatter...ordinary matter is made from atoms, which are made from nucleons, made from quarks, antimatter is made from antiatoms, made from antinucleons, made from antiquarks...
Dark Matter...one of the biggest problems in contemporary physics, astronomy, and cosmology...

I live in Oxford. I work in dark matter research. I write entries on any areas of science that catch my attention.
