Can the wind blow you away?

This could be the case if the wind speed exceeds 150 km / h. This is deduced from the tests carried out in a free fall simulator, consisting of a cylindrical tube through which a jet of air is launched from below, the intensity of which increases progressively.

Five things you should know about crowd behavior

According to the National Center for Working Conditions in Spain, the phenomenon called "collective behavior", "mass behavior" or "collective dynamics" can be defined as all relatively spontaneous behavior carried out by a group of people before a common stimulus in an undefined or ambiguous situation. These groups of people, generally transitory and lacking formal organization, react to an immediate set of circumstances in unconventional ways.

CERN confirms the discovery of the Higgs boson

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) today confirmed the discovery of the Higgs boson, an essential subatomic particle to understand what matter is made of, which is popularly known as the "God particle". According to statements by CERN scientist Joe Incandela, it is now totally clear that what they found last year in their experiments was the Higgs boson, "although there is still a long way to go before we know what kind of Higgs boson it is. ". That is, if it is the boson of the Standard Model of particle physics or the lightest of bosons predicted by theories that go beyond the standard model.

Scientists manage to tie knots with water

An international team of scientists has managed to tie knots with water in a laboratory, just a century after the idea was suggested. The feat, which has been published in 'Nature Physics', paves the way for researchers to study the twists and turns that occur in phenomena such as ionized gases in the solar atmosphere, superconducting materials, liquid crystals and quantum fields described by the elementary particles.
