Here we hear selected particle collisions turned into spatialised... sound. This process creates sonic signatures of particles – such as the #HiggsBoson and the #Wboson – and of the “missing mass” in the CMS Experiment CERN detector, a key experimental feature of #DarkMatter. The work of artist Chris Henschke, this project suggests a different way to see CMS – a microphone listening to the fundamental particles of the #Universe Henschke works with digital and analogue media, sound and light, and experimental science, and has been developing novel ways of visualising and sonifying data from the CMS experiment since 2014.show more

🚨 PHYSICISTS JUST SPLIT A SINGLE PHOTON AND IT... TURNED INTO AN IMPROBABLE SWARM OF PARTICLES. In a striking experiment, researchers have shown that a photon can be split apart in such a way that it produces a large number of particles, creating what they describe as a “mixture from zero to infinity.” Instead of the usual clean splitting into two photons (as seen in spontaneous parametric down-conversion), this process generated a complex, broad swarm of particles. The result challenges conventional intuition about how photons behave when pushed into extreme nonlinear regimes. Why this matters: • It demonstrates a rare and complex form of photon splitting that was previously very difficult to observe cleanly • Such processes could help simulate high-energy particle physics in table-top experiments • It opens new possibilities for generating exotic quantum states of light • It provides deeper insight into nonlinear quantum electrodynamics (QED) in strong fields The deeper implication: Photons are usually thought of as indivisible quanta of light. But under the right extreme conditions, a single photon can effectively “break apart” into many particles. This isn’t just a curiosity it touches on fundamental questions about the nature of light and matter, and could eventually lead to new tools for quantum technologies and for studying physics that normally requires particle accelerators. We’re seeing light behave in ways that blur the line between a single quantum and a many-particle system. How do you think being able to controllably split photons into swarms of particles could impact quantum optics or fundamental physics research?

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST CREATED MATTER FROM PURE LIGHT. For... the first time in laboratory history, researchers smashed high-energy photons together and directly produced matter and antimatter particles. No atoms. No pre-existing matter. Just light turning into mass. It’s called the Breit–Wheeler process a phenomenon predicted in 1934… …but never directly observed in a controlled experiment until now. Einstein was right all along: E = mc² Energy and matter are fundamentally interchangeable. And now scientists have literally watched light transform into particles. The experiment used ultra-powerful lasers to collide photons with enough energy to create: • electrons • positrons • bursts of pure matter-antimatter pairs The deeper implication is staggering: The solid universe around you may ultimately be condensed energy structures frozen into stable form. Matter may not be the “base layer” of reality at all. Light came first. And under extreme conditions… reality can crystallize directly out of energy itself. This also mirrors conditions believed to exist moments after the Big Bang when the early universe was so energetic that matter continuously formed from radiation. We are now recreating pieces of the birth of the universe inside a laboratory. What happens when humans learn to engineer matter directly from energy at scale?

Here's a sound test of the Hybrid monster from... early on. When developing the sound of the monsters we created an emotion board and used that to test out the different ways these things could sound. The sounds are a mix of our sound designer making weird noises layered with animals 😂 Using a person to create the backbone of the monster's sounds allows us to emote the context of the scene a lot more effectively. Then we layer in animal noises to give texture. #gamedev #IndieGameDev #terriblelizardsshow more

Vintage Camera Experts 🎥 We appreciate all the camera... operator experts and enthusiast that have been reaching out. Ideally, we would love a robust army of imagers helping us gather as much imagery as possible - from different angles, distances, and altitudes with a variety of equipment. Two of the primary challenges for our camera operators right now are digital interference and the extreme speed and movement of the objects. For the former, there seems to be something about the phenomenon that interferes with digital camera technology. Because of this we are looking to also add a vintage camera suite. There’s lots of evidence that suggests analog imagery of the phenomenon produces better results in some circumstances. In regards to the speed and movement challenge, please see the below video clip from episode two. This is what we are dealing with. Note the speed and movement of the Tic Tacs at 100% vs. 15% . If you feel you’re up to the challenge and have something of value to add, please continue to reach out and offer solutions. 🙏🇺🇸show more

Seeing The Quantum World In Action! Ever wondered how... particles pass through impossible barriers? This video provides a clear visualization of the Quantum Tunneling Effect, a fundamental phenomenon in quantum mechanics where a particle passes through a potential barrier that it classically could not surmount. Watch as the incident wave packet interacts with the potential barrier, resulting in both reflected and transmitted components. We break down the Schrödinger equation and the formula for transmission probability. Perfect for students and physics enthusiasts looking to understand the wave-particle duality and the probabilistic nature of the subatomic world. #QuantumPhysics #Manim #Physics #QuantumMechanics #Schrodingershow more

⚡️🇵🇸JUST IN: Government Media Office in Gaza: The number... of deaths due to extreme cold in forced displacement camps has risen to 21 martyrs since the start of the genocide, and we warn of catastrophic repercussions of the upcoming low-pressure systems. We warn of the catastrophic humanitarian repercussions resulting from the waves of extreme cold hitting the Gaza Strip, in light of the continued genocide and the suffocating siege, and the widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure it has left behind, as well as the forced displacement of more than one and a half million Palestinians to displacement camps that lack the minimum requirements for human life. According to documented field data, the number of deaths as a result of extreme cold since the beginning of the genocide until today, Sunday, January 11, 2026, has risen to 21 martyrs, all of whom were displaced persons from forced shelter camps, including 18 children, in a dangerous indicator of the scale of the humanitarian disaster threatening the lives of the most vulnerable groups. We also record that the number of deaths due to extreme cold since the beginning of the current winter season has reached 4 deaths, in light of the absence of heating means, the lack of safe shelter, the shortage of blankets and winter clothing, and the continued prevention of the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid. We strongly warn of the repercussions of the upcoming low-pressure system and subsequent weather systems, and the accompanying frost waves and extreme cold during the coming days, which portend an increase in the number of victims, especially among children, the sick, and the elderly, if this catastrophic humanitarian reality continues without urgent intervention. We hold the "israeli" occupation fully and directly responsible for these crimes and deadly outcomes, as they are an extension of the policies of slow killing, starvation, and displacement. We demand the international community, the United Nations, and humanitarian and human rights organizations to take immediate and urgent action to provide safe shelter centers, allow the entry of heating and relief supplies without restrictions, and save the remaining lives before it is too late.

I’m honored to share that I’ve been commissioned by... Tad Smith to create a new work consisting of both a digital piece and its physical twin. The commission came after Tad encountered my FACES collection and connected deeply with one of the works, which had already been acquired. Rather than letting the moment pass, he chose to commission a new piece born from that same spirit and emotional language. I’m deeply grateful for his belief in the work and for the thoughtful connection that made this possible. Special thanks to Rob De Los Santos for facilitating this in such a meaningful way. This kind of dialogue between physical and digital practice is something I care about profoundly, and I’m excited to share both versions of the work here. "Walking a Fine Line"show more

🚨 BREAKING: This is what happens when particles collide... at near light speed. Inside CERN, protons smash together… and for a fraction of a second something invisible appears. Then vanishes. Read that again. We don’t see the Higgs boson directly. We see the pattern it leaves behind. Energy explodes outward. Particles scatter in every direction. And hidden in that chaos structure reveals itself. This is how we found the particle that gives mass to everything. In my view Particles aren’t things They’re events in a field What we call “mass” is a stable interaction with structure So this isn’t just a collision… It’s reality briefly exposing how it builds itself. The real question is If particles only exist as interactions… what is the structure they emerge from? Follow me I break down how structure shapes reality.show more
