Unknown link between cosmic radiation and earthquakes on Earth revealed by CREDO research group
The article reports on a recent scientific discovery that reveals a surprising link between cosmic radiation and seismic activity on Earth. Scientists analyzed historical data and used computer models to demonstrate a correlation between cosmic radiation levels and the frequency of earthquakes in areas prone to seismic activity. This […]
Niñas Atómicas brings science to Iquique
The Niñas Atómicas program, in collaboration with the Vice-Rectorate for Innovation at Arturo Prat University, held a practical workshop for middle school students in the Alto Hospicio district of Iquique. The event took place on May 25 at the university and was designed to inspire and motivate young women in the […]
Signs of new physics: where and how to look?
Pedro Urrejola, a postdoctoral researcher at the Saphir Millennium Institute, talks about what fascinates him about particle physics and the goals of his research. He explains that, to discover new particles and extend the Standard Model, it’s not enough to simply have more and better detectors: analytical tools must also be improved, such as […]
Searching for new elementary particles at the half-life frontier: charting a route to new physics.
The Large Hadron Collider has not discovered any new fundamental particles since it detected the Higgs boson in 2012. Why? Are there deficiencies in the detectors, in the search strategies, in the accelerator itself? Or is what is already known simply all there is, and we have to work with that? The […]
