Particle Twister WebApp

It took some time, but now I finally managed to finish the next twist in Particle Twister.

My game idea that I designed and realised together with Katarina Anthony during my ‘more active’ time at the ATLAS Experiment at CERN finally got the first set of long-promised playing cards for additional fun and challenges in addition to the classic spinning wheel – all that in my brand new Progressive Web App (PWA).
You can use it online at and install it locally from https://particle-twister.mehlhase.info/.

Let me know if you have more ideas for cards, playing modes or features.
I still have a few more ideas, so stay tuned for updates …

Breakthrough Prize 2025

ATLAS, CERN, LHC, Physics

Today, I got a little my little share certificate for the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics that was awarded to the ATLAS Collaboration and other three large LHC collaborations.

As announced already back in April, the prize was awarded for detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties, confirming the symmetry-breaking mechanism of mass generation, the discovery of new strongly interacting particles, the study of rare processes and matter-antimatter asymmetry, and the exploration of nature at the shortest distances and most extreme conditions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.

I am happy to have been (and to tiny extent still am) part of this adventure.
Congratulations to all co-reciepients :)

30k+ on ATLAS 360°

I was just made aware that my 2020 virtual tour of the ATLAS Experiment filmed in 360° view has reached just above 30k views on YouTube.

Great to see that all the up and down in the cavern, spanning twelve levels and endless camera positions, apparently was worth the effort :)

For those of you that prefer a German tour: here you go, I made one just for you as well.
And if you like science videos (in German), also have a look at my German edit of the Belle II video. They both could still need a few more views 😜
