Particle Masses, what if they would have been different? / Teilchenmassen – Was wäre wenn sie anders wären?
This video tells you, why particle masses are central for our daily life, and why especially their values are crucial. This is the real reason why all of us should be curious where mass comes from. Making of:: The organizers of the German exhibition die Welt Maschine (2008), the German Executive LHC Outreach Group (GELOG),…

Exhibit Neutrino Pendulum
This is the worldwide first model of coupled pendula, which demonstrates the complete phenomenology of neutrino flavor-oscillations for 3 different neutrino species (flavors). Up until now, only models for just 2 flavors existed. The model is adjustable corresponding to variable neutrino mass differences and variable mixing parameters (PMNS angles) between the 3 flavors. Arbitrary oscillation…

Comics about Gravitational Waves
Nel 2016 viene annunciata la scoperta delle onde gravitazionali. Un anno dopo, i fisici registrano il primo segnale “multimessaggero” della storia della scienza, aprendo la strada ad una nuova branca della fisica: l’astronomia multimessaggera. È proprio la prima onda gravitazionale rivelata, chiamata nel fumetto Nera15, a raccontarci la storia di questa scoperta, che si intreccia…

Smashing Science
In 2009 twelve high school students won the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair’s “Best of Category” Award. The prize? A trip to Geneva, Switzerland to explore CERN. This short film made by one of the student winners, Eliza McNitt, documents these young scientists’ experiences on their journey to visit the Large Hadron Collider at…

PhD TV: Dark Matters
Through hand drawn illustrations, this video creatively explains the basics on what we know about dark matter. Contents of this video are based on what the author learned during a conversation with physicists Daniel Whiteson and Jonathan Feng about Dark Matter and how CERN’s collider is helping answer the question “What is dark matter?”. Subjects…
