New territories in the flux of cosmic rays
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS ) collaboration has today presented its latest results. These are based on the analysis of 41 billion particles detected with the space-based AMS detector aboard the International Space Station. The results, presented during a seminar at CERN 2 , provide new insights into the nature of the mysterious excess of positrons observed in the flux of cosmic rays.

Giant telescope will reveal the outer reaches of the universe
The European Extremely Large Telescope Project (E-ELT) has officially been launched. This enormous telescope has a diameter of nearly 40m and will be built in Chili.

Could the Higgs boson explain the size of the Universe?
The Universe wouldn't be the same without the Higgs boson. This legendary particle plays a role in cosmology and reveals the possible existence of another closely related particle. The race to identify the Higgs boson is on at CERN. This Holy Grail of particle physics would help explain why the majority of elementary particles possess mass.

Dix nouvelles planètes
Les astronomes de l'Université de Genève viennent de révéler dix nouvelles planètes extrasolaires Appelées 'en transit', ces planètes ont été découvertes parce qu'elles passent régulièrement devant leur étoile, provoquant ainsi une diminution temporaire de la lumière qui émane de celle-ci.
