Members and physicists in business are invited to attend this exciting town meeting to shape an IOP special interest group which will support entrepreneurs and small-medium sized enterprises taking physics-based ideas, products and services to market. The proposed group will enable members to build supportive networks, share knowledge and explore collaborations as well as access business support, finance and affordable workspace.

По предсказаниям Стандартной модели, хиггсовский бозон должен чаще всего распадаться на b-кварковую пару, однако до сих пор этот процесс не удавалось обнаружить на LHC. На днях коллаборации ATLAS и CMS показали предварительные результаты по поиску этого распада в данных 2016 года — и наконец-то этот распад начал проступать в данных.

Modern films and TV shows are filled with spectacular computer-generated sequences computed by rendering systems that simulate the flow of light in a three-dimensional scene and convert the information into a two-dimensional image. But computing the thousands of light rays (per frame) to achieve accurate color, shadows, reflectivity and other light-based characteristics is a labor-intensive, time-consuming and expensive undertaking. An alternative is to render the images using only a few light rays.

The clean air strategy should include a scrappage scheme and clean air zones, campaigners say.
