@cronologia.bsky.socialShe helped confirm the last missing piece of the Standard Model, and Harvard history came with it. Meet Melissa Franklin. #PhysicsHistory #WomenInSTEM #HiggsBoson #Trailblazer #DidYouKnow
@apsphysics.aps.orgIn 1983, a Soviet computer detected a U.S. nuclear missile launch. Officer Stanislav Petrov had minutes to decide whether the warning was real. He trusted his judgment, avoiding a potential nuclear disaster. Learn what caused the false alarm in #APSNews: https://go.aps.org/4dg9hj9
@cronologia.bsky.socialFor a long time, the Higgs boson's mass looked out of reach. Maurizio Biasini helped change that. Born in 1967, he's a physicist and researcher at the University of Perugia, and he co-authored studies that measured the Higgs mass. #physicshistory #MaurizioBiasini #HiggsBoson #CERN #particlephysics
