A few days ago, CERN opened the Open Data portal, where the organizazion made available to anyone information on the experiments of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Now a collaboration between the University of Oxford, the New York University, The University of Birmingham, the Zooniverse project and CERN’s ATLAS experiment led to the creation of the Higgs Hunters project that allows anyone to collaborate on a research on the Higgs boson.
CERN has announced the opening of the Open Data Portal. It’s a new website that is part of the organization’s Internet infrastructure where the data produced by the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider will be made freely accessible to anyone. Many details of CERN’s ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments experiments will be made available and among them there are those that led to the confirmation of the existence of the Higgs boson.
Facebook yesterday officially unveiled the new version of Atlas, the advertising platform that, according to the information provided, was completely renovated to meet the challenges of today’s marketing. The goal is to reach people on various devices and bridge the gap between online impression and offline purchases.
The official announcement came that Amazon has bought Twitch for $970 million to be paid in cash. Twitch is a video streaming platform particularly targeted to video games with the broadcast of games played by users. Twitch offers both live and on-demand streaming. This news comes after months of rumors of possible acquisitions, especially by Google.
