As the name implies, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was designed to spot exoplanets, but it’s flexible. A team of professional and amateur astronomers have used the planet hunter to identify an unusual triple star system known as TIC 290061484.

Physicists from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have observed three J/ψ particles emerging from a single collision between two protons. A proton-proton collision event with six muons (red lines) produced in the decays of three J/ψ particles. Image credit: CMS / CERN. The …

Physicists from the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have observed a process called WWW production: the simultaneous creation of three massive W bosons in high-energy proton-proton collisions. Display of a candidate WWW→ 3 leptons + neutrinos event; the event is identified by its decay to a muon …

Last week at CES, Razer unveiled its most recent prototype, a three-screen laptop. As we discussed, this has become something of a CES tradition for the peripheral manufacturer, so we weren’t surprised to see the company showing off an unusual piece of kit. What was unusual was that someone walked …

Razer used to just make peripherals like its gaming-oriented mechanical keyboards and headphones, but a few years back it started branching out into gaming laptops. The company has taken great pride in showing off its innovations at CES, and this year it took the form of a 4K “VR” projector …

Razer has established a reputation for building crazy, out-there CES inventions that sometimes ship (but mostly don’t). The Razer Switchblade (for handheld mobile gaming) debuted at CES 2011, the Razer Edge (a gaming tablet) actually did ship in 2013, and Project Christine (a custom PC system with modular components and …

MPs have called for the triple-lock on state pensions to be scrapped for being “inherently unstable”.
