Around 2008–2010, when the Large Hadron Collider was commissioned, the claimed dangers included the production of stable micro black holes and the creation of hypothetical particles called strangelets.

If the new boson is indeed the Higgs particle, its discovery represents an important milestone in the history of particle physics.

In Physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating through space, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, (visible) light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Typical communications applications include wireless systems using RF and microwave, MIMO, wireless LANs, mobile phones, base station monitoring, surveillance, satellite communications, bus testing, cable testing, antenna and transmitter testing.
Mobile Phones
History of cellular phone and investigations into link with brain cancer
Study of over 16,000 brain tumours shows no link with mobile phone usage
Whilst studies in rats have shown increases in Cancer due to high exposure to radio frequency radiation, “The exposures used in the studies cannot be compared directly to the exposure that humans experience when using a cell phone”

The Earth's climate system maintains a balance between solar energy absorbed and IR (blackbody) energy radiated to space. The so-called Greenhouse effect distributes the temperature in the atmosphere so that the surface is much warmer than the mean radiative temperature.
Quantum communication takes advantage of the laws of quantum physics to protect data. It is a field of applied quantum physics closely related to quantum information processing and quantum teleportation. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) describes the use of quantum mechanical effects to perform cryptographic tasks or to break cryptographic systems - creating a secure communication method.

From Mrs Allen:
1. START EARLY
2. ASSIGNMENT BREAKDOWN
a. First 10% - General Reading (This is where your ideas are shaped, read 3-6 sources of VARIETY)
b. 10% - 40/50% - Active Notetaking (This is where you collect & collate evidence & info)
c. 40-50% - 80% - Organisation of Ideas (This is where you construct the structure of your essay, and allocate the number of words for each part).
d. 80% - 100% - Writing (This is where you write the assignment as streamlined as possible)

Google Scholar's searches are set to cover scholarly material more often than 'regular' Google. Google Scholar's searches are set to cover scholarly material more often than 'regular' Google. Read the article below on the advantages an disadvantages of using it.
TIP: To get PDFs only, type in 'filetype:pdf'. It's great!
Google Books can be very frustrating because often much of the book is missing and you are expected to purchase it to read the full content. So after you put in your search term you are interested in (eg biodiesel), and get some results up, you should then go immediately to the search box (on the left - above 'About this box') and type in a particular word or term you are interested in (eg CO2 emissions OR methanol) you should get a number of pages pop up. Choose one that looks useful - you should get some good results this way!
