Married very early. Never saw school. But she taught us well, raised us well. My mother is my pillar of strength. On #MothersDay

The nucleus as a laboratory
#CERN70 – Part 8

#ThrowbackThursday to the Isotope Separator On-Line (ISOLDE) in 1967.

ISOLDE combined chemical and electromagnetic methods to produce radioactive beams of a single isotope, an innovative technique that made ISOLDE unique in the world…

Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek gives us a glimpse of the amazing work done by CERN guides at Science Gateway. Our guides welcome visitors of all ages and backgrounds, and take them on a journey through immersive multimedia exhibits, hands-on lab workshops,…

Here we see the GEMS muon detectors being installed in the CMS Experiment CERN's cavern during Long Shutdown 2, in preparation for the current #LHCRun3 .

These additions were installed to complement the muon-detection abilities of the CMS detector, during #HiLumLHC .

Can you guess…

Enjoyed my visit to CERN Science Gateway. Lot many amazing exhibits,workshops,science shows to explore. Will continue to encourage young minds towards #STEM . Thanks Archana Sharma CERN for arranging the visit. #STEM #science #research

Probing matter–antimatter asymmetry with #AI

Using a cutting-edge AI algorithm, the CMS Experiment CERN has obtained the first evidence of charge–parity (CP) violation in the decay of the strange beauty meson into a pair of muons and a pair of electrically charged kaons.

ALICE gets the green light for new subdetectors 🔍

The @ALICEExperiment, CERN’s dedicated heavy-ion physics experiment, is upgrading its Inner Tracking System and adding a forward calorimeter for the next phase of the #LHC upgrade.

Images 2 and 3 show components of the Inner…

If I remember well this young student simply accessed LHC@Home projects and data. His effort and success with attempting to look at #Data from far away in #2010 serves as an inspiration #Bravo #India .
I wish I could read what's written on his plaque!

#AI redefines the boundary between the possible and impossible at the LHC 😲

Using cutting-edge deep learning, CMS obtains evidence for matter-antimatter difference in strange beauty meson mixing, an ideal test for the standard model: cms.cern/news/probing-m…

#OpenData #ScienceAdvice

#OnThisDay in 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web in the public domain, later made available with an open licence, allowing the web to flourish.

Here we see Sir Tim Berners-Lee's proposal for the World Wide Web, revised back in May 1990.

The World Wide Web will be one of the…

Here we see the beam dump installed at the Proton Synchrotron (PS) in 2020, when the first synchrotron in CERN’s accelerator family was being outfitted with new, ultra-modern equipment.

The new beam dump works differently to those normally used at CERN. It moves to meet the…

A momentous day in my academic journey to take over the charge of Director, IISER Mohali from Prof Purnananda Guptasarma in presence of Registrar Prof Jagdeep. Had enriching discussion with Deans n Heads to take IISERM to greater levels of excellence, relevance n global impact

I am super proud of two younger colleagues - Rashna Bhandari DBT-CDFD Hyderabad Amitabha Majumdar DBT-NCCS Pune for publishing two fundamental results. Both the works represent breakthroughs in their respective fields.

Posting summaries here.

Why do scientists smash particles together in a massive underground tunnel?

And now, why do so many scientists say that what we really need to do is build... a BIGGER one?

For our new episode of Huge If True, we traveled to Switzerland to visit CERN and explain the Large…

The joys of spring cleaning .. A poster from #1992 celebrating The Nobel Prize of Georges Charpak at CERN (with his signature), yours truly without any clue of the future, pretending to be confident... a group photo celebrating my #Doctorate (from Geneva University, May 1996) ..

My remarks at the Oxford Union almost a yr ago have made their way across social media. I gave a perspective on what has changed in India, citing events & anecdotes to support my argument. I’m overwhelmed to see how it has resonated with so many of you.🙏
