(PhysOrg.com) -- CERN's Large Hadron Collider has today become the world's highest energy particle accelerator, having accelerated its twin beams of protons to an energy of 1.18 TeV in the early hours of the morning. This exceeds the previous world record of 0.98 TeV, which had been held by the US Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory`s Tevatron collider since 2001. It marks another important milestone on the road to first physics at the LHC in 2010. http://www.physorg.com/news178781372.html Physics Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:44:16 EST news178781372 (PhysOrg.com) -- Tesla is becoming synonymous with high performance electric cars. Indeed, the Tesla car company has been making efforts to create a brand of sports car that runs on electricity, and does so in a way that is convenient to motorists. In an effort to prove that it can be done, a Tesla Roadster has gone 313 miles on one charge. This is a new world record -- one that breaks the previous record of 241 miles, set by another Tesla Roadster. http://www.physorg.com/news176990887.html Technology Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:11:26 EST news176990887 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new book claims even modern athletes could not run as fast, jump as high, or have been nearly as strong as our predecessors. http://www.physorg.com/news175332184.html Biology Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:24:47 EST news175332184 2008 was a great summer for sports' fans. World records tumbled at the Beijing Olympics. Usain Bolt shattered both the 100m and 200m world records, knocking tenths of a second off each. People have been getting faster and faster over the last few decades, which made marathon runner Mark Denny, from Stanford University, wonder whether last century's massive increase in population could account for these dramatic improvements. He also wondered whether there are absolute limits on running speeds and, if so, how close are we to them? http://www.physorg.com/news147080936.html Biology Fri, 28 Nov 2008 07:48:56 EST news147080936 German athlete Wojtek Czyz, running with a space-tech enhanced prosthetic leg, set a new world record at the Paralympics 2008 in Beijing, reaching an amazing 6.50 m and beating the previous world record by 27 cm. http://www.physorg.com/news142251863.html Technology Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:24:23 EST news142251863 (PhysOrg.com) -- By the record books, Jamaican runner Usain Bolt is the fastest human being on earth, and yet no one knows for sure exactly how fast he really is. At the Beijing 2008 Olympics, on Saturday, August 16th, Bolt broke his own world record (9.72 seconds) with a time of 9.69 seconds in the 100-meter dash. But with 20 meters remaining, the 21-year-old looked around, and, when realizing he had a strong lead, he started celebrating before he crossed the finish line. http://www.physorg.com/news140352485.html Physics Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:48:05 EST news140352485
