PhysicsFans – A Website for Physics Lovers

We are happy to announce a new website – www.physicsfans.com dedicated for all those who love Physics.

It aims at bringing together the like minded, the people around who like Physics. There is no compulsion that the members be studying Physics; if you are fascinated by the wonders of Physics, you can join it.

The website will publish latest discoveries and inventions as well as the developments in the scientific world. www.PhysicsFans.com is expected to grow as an online place for getting the prime information for students and public as long as it is related to Physics in some way or the other.

The contents of the site are accessible without a membership. But if you want to get benefited from the Physics Online Community and want to publish your own blogs and participate in discussions you must be a member.

Social networking is also being enabled at the site for members so that they can interact online through messages and chat.

there are sections on

1. Emerging Theories in Physics
2. Latest Discoveries in Physics
3. Physics News
4. Physics Videos
5. Physics Jokes
6. Biographies of Great Physicists
7. Book Review Section
8. Polls

……………………….. and more.

The idea began with a group in Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/groups/askphysics/, which was started as a group for all those who love Physics. The huge response received from the members of the group resulted in this website where the members will get greater freedom to express themselves freely as they can write at length, post images, videos, post to forums and more.

The site is developing some ground rules for members.

1. Memberships are activated only after verification of identity.

ALICE experiment announces first results from LHC’s lead-ion collisions

In the first measurement, scientists counted the charged particles that were produced from a few thousand of the most central lead-ion collisions—those where the lead nuclei hit each other head-on. The result showed that about 18,000 particles are produced from collisions of lead ions, which is about 2.2 times more particles than produced in similar collisions of gold ions at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

With the LHC’s lead-ion collisions taking place at more than 13 times the energy of RHIC’s gold-ion collisions, predicting a big increase in the number of particles produced would seem to be a no-brainer. Surprisingly, however, the opposite was true. The majority of theories predicted a number lower than that measured by ALICE, because of a strange property of the world of quarks and gluons, the fundamental particles that make up a lead nucleus.
