Today, we’re turning the universe into a cake!
ATLAS physicist Katharine Leney is showing us how to make a Dark Matter Cake that’s as data-driven as it is delicious! Perfect for #DarkMatterDay.
🍫 Dark chocolate chips = Dark matter
🍫 White chocolate chips = Visible matter
💥 Beetroot = Dark energy, binding it all together
It’s rich, dark, and will make you appreciate just how rare visible matter really is! Check out the recipe at cern.ch/universecake

The ATLAS Collaboration at CERN has announced the first observation of “WWW production”: the simultaneous creation of three massive W bosons in high-energy LHC collisions. In this video, ATLAS Physicists Vallary Bhopatkar (Argonne National Lab) and Muhammad Alhroob (University of Oklahoma) explain why this result is so interesting – and describe what physicists can still learn about the W boson, 40 years after its discovery.
