Muy Interesante: Ciencia colosal (colossal science), and a nod to our readers who prefer espanol.
The Tracker no habla, no dice, y no comprende espanol mucho. But a site in Spain, Muy Interesante , and its associated magazine do a fine job keeing up with international science. And to disclose all, this post is an inside-the-Knight special. A writer, Angela Posada-Swafford, attended the February symposium at MIT for the Knight Science Fellowships’ 25th anniversary and, attributing it partly to the enthusiasm built up at the meeting, went out and wrote for Muy Interesante a very interesting (to judge mainly from the graphics) piece on the Large Hadron Collider as it nears operation.
The good graphics include videos and animations of protons looping around the LHC’s various circuits until wham, they meet one another in detectors – like in the giant ATLAS pictured here.
One looks at a piece like this and realizes the world needs a few, more multilingual, trackers.
