THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

Nature Physics Advance Online Publication, 8 October 2013 Doi:10.1038/Nphys2800 Research Highlight Nobel Prize 2013: Englert
Nature Physics advance online publication, 8 October 2013 doi:10.1038/nphys2800 Research Highlight Nobel Prize 2013: Englert and Higgs Alison Wright The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 has been awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs "for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider". It is probably the most widely anticipated Nobel award ever made — even as the announcement on 8 October was delayed by an hour, it still seemed certain that the prize would be given for what is generally known as the Higgs mechanism, cemented by the discovery of a Higgs boson at CERN last year. The only uncertainty lay in quite who would claim a slice of the prize. In 1964, François Englert and his colleague Robert Brout published a paper1 in Physical Review Letters in which they outlined a possible mechanism for the generation of particle masses. A few weeks later — in a world without e-mail or preprint servers — Peter Higgs published a similar, independent work2, and also mentioned the existence of a particle associated with the postulated field that would provoke the mass-generating mechanism. (These have since been known as the Higgs boson, the Higgs field and the Higgs mechanism.) And just a few weeks later still, Gerald Guralnik, Carl Hagen and Tom Kibble followed up with their own, independent, version3 of the same mechanism. -

Here, at Last! and and Peter W.Peter Higgs Speed of Light, Without to Ofspeed Light, Get Any Possibility Caught Atoms in Or Molecules
THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS 2013 POPULAR SCIENCE BACKGROUND Here, at last! François Englert and Peter W. Higgs are jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 for the theory of how particles acquire mass. In 1964, they proposed the theory independently of each other (Englert together with his now deceased colleague Robert Brout). In 2012, their ideas were confrmed by the discovery of a so called Higgs particle at the CERN laboratory outside Geneva in Switzerland. The awarded mechanism is a central part of the Standard Model of particle physics that describes how the world is constructed. According to the Standard Model, everything, from fowers and people to stars and planets, consists of just a few building blocks: matter particles. These particles are governed by forces medi- ated by force particles that make sure everything works as it should. The entire Standard Model also rests on the existence of a special kind of particle: the Higgs particle. It is connected to an invisible feld that flls up all space. Even when our universe seems empty, this feld is there. Had it not been there, electrons and quarks would be mass- less just like photons, the light particles. And like photons they would, just as Einstein’s theory predicts, rush through space at the speed of light, without any possibility to get caught in atoms or molecules. Nothing of what we know, not even we, would exist. The Higgs particle, H, completes the Standard Model of particle physics that describes building blocks of the universe. Both François Englert and Peter Higgs were young scientists when they, in 1964, independently of each other put forward a theory that rescued the Stand- ard Model from collapse.
