This fall we have an opening for a few PhD students in cosmology, astrophysics,
and particle physics (both theory and experiment) at the newly organized center
on Particle Physics and Astrophysics at the Novosibirsk State University

In cosmology and astrophysics we have the world renounced
professors such as S. Blinnikov and I. Tkachev. There are also very
good professors in particle physics.

• General Relativity in Maxima and Mathematica
• Quantum Mechanics in Maxima
• QRSpulse [Matlab]

Some speculations on laser fusion perspectives were published in the recent issue of Nature journal. According to this article the ignition could happen at NIF by the end of 2012. But more unexpected fact (for me) was the existence of LIFE project. More information on it could be found on LLNL site.

Today (March 7) on the conference "Rencontres de Moriond" recent results from Higgs searching experiments were presented. There is some excess at 125-126 GeV but only in gamma-gamma and ZZ channels (ZZ channel in CMS is peaked around 119 GeV). But WW channel do not contribute as expected. Both CDF and D0 see a broad excess which could be consistent with signal at 125 GeV. Right now this is a good indication of a Higgs boson, but it is not a discovery, this excess could potentially diminish further.

Кажется, это похоже на правду:

It appears that the faster-than-light neutrino results, announced last September by the OPERA collaboration in Italy, was due to a mistake after all. A bad connection between a GPS unit and a computer may be to blame.
