The new data was presented at a physics conference being held in the Italian town of La Thuile.
The best data scientists, according to Hillion, come from physics, bioinformatics and other applied fields, because modeling and experimentation with real data sets is important in these fields.

In typical Google fashion, it is attacking the engineering problem at each level between the user and the internet with products and services that change the physics of our engagement with data.
As is often the case in particle physics, a fuller analysis of data will be required to establish beyond doubt that the particle is a Higgs of any kind.
Scientists stand on a catwalk that runs through its middle, and wearing 3D glasses look at enormous representations of human brains, molecular bonds, economic data, even the invisible manifestations of quantum physics.
On November 13, 2012, at the Hadron Collider Physics Symposium in Kyoto, another round of data will be released, and it is expected to show additional confirmation that this is a Higgs boson.
