Scientists to track impact of Asian dust and pollution on clouds, climate change
Scientists using one of the nation's newest and most capable research aircraft are launching a far-reaching field project this month to study plumes of airborne dust and pollutants that originate in Asia and journey to North America.   view more (2007-04-19)

New methods and tools needed to measure exposure to airborne nanomaterials
New methods and tools for measuring exposure to airborne engineered nanomaterials will be required to protect the health of workers in nanotechnology-related jobs— estimated to total 10 million people by 2014—according to two occupational health experts writing in the inaugural issue of... view more (2007-04-18)

Iowa State physicist leads team designing detector for international particle collider
John Hauptman stood before an international gathering of particle physicists and announced he had another idea. One that was different. One that was simpler. And best of all, one that he was sure would work.   view more (2007-04-16)

MiniBooNE findings clarify the behavior of neutrinos
The initial data from the 10-year long "MiniBooNE" experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermilab significantly clarifies the overall picture of how the neutrino fundamental particles behave.   view more (2007-04-12)

Where has all the antimatter gone?
Scientists from the Universities of Liverpool and Glasgow have completed work on the inner heart of an experiment which seeks to find out what has happened to all the antimatter created at the start of the Universe.   view more (2007-04-12)

Delft researchers predict 'nanobattery' performance
Researchers at Delft University of Technology can predict how nanostructuring - the extreme reduction of structure - will affect the performance of Li-ion batteries.   view more (2007-04-03)

The world's largest particle accelerator has been completed
The last quadripolar magnet was brought down into the tunnel of the world's largest particle accelerator; the CERN's1 LHC, or Large Hadron Collidor.   view more (2007-04-02)

MIT reveals the tangle under turbulence
Picture the flow of water over a rock. At very low speeds, the water looks like a smooth sheet skimming the rock's surface. As the water rushes faster, the flow turns into turbulent, roiling whitewater that can overturn your raft.   view more (2007-03-29)

Physicists wipe away complexity for a clearer view of heavy nuclei
Despite advances in experimental nuclear physics, the most detailed probing of atomic nuclei still requires heavy doses of advanced nuclear theory. The problem is that using theory to make meaningful predictions requires massive datasets that tax even high-powered supercomputers.   view more (2007-03-15)

Pollution shown cutting rainfall in hilly areas
Manmade climate change due to pollution seriously inhibits precipitation over hills in semi-arid regions, a phenomenon with dire consequences for water resources in the Middle east and many other parts of the world.   view more (2007-03-09)

MIT particles pave way for new bedside diagnostics
MIT researchers have created an inexpensive method to screen for millions of different biomolecules (DNA, proteins, etc.) in a single sample-a technology that could make possible the development of low-cost clinical bedside diagnostics.   view more (2007-03-09)

Virtual duck bills demonstrate species coexistence
Ecologists continue to debate how different species manage to coexist. If two species use identical resources, such as food, invariably one will be more efficient and out-compete the other. The classical explanation is that each species has evolved morphological or physiological traits that allow... view more (2007-02-28)

Surprises from the Sun's South Pole
Although very close to the minimum of its 11-year sunspot cycle, the Sun showed that it is still capable of producing a series of remarkably energetic outbursts-ESA-NASA Ulysses mission revealed.   view more (2007-02-20)

White-knuckle atmospheric science takes flight
Science doesn't always happen at a lab bench. For University of Toronto Mississauga physicist Kent Moore, it happens while strapped into a four-point harness, flying head-on into hurricane-force winds off the southern tip of Greenland.   view more (2007-02-20)

Nobel laureate Burton Richter to speak about future of particle physics
Particle physics is about to transform our thinking once again. Experiments of the last 15 years suggest new forms of matter, new forces of nature and perhaps even new dimensions of space and time. Pinning down the new ideas will require more data from larger and more expensive machines-at a time... view more (2007-02-16)

Air contaminants databases ease healthy homes planning
Air pollution sources are everywhere in the home, from the bacon and eggs frying in the kitchen, to the woodburning stove in the family room, the newly painted hallway, and even the carpet in the living room.   view more (2007-02-16)

New accelerator technique doubles particle energy in just one meter
Imagine a car that accelerates from zero to 60 in 250 feet, and then rockets to 120 miles per hour in just one more inch.   view more (2007-02-15)

From Sheffield to Singapore, international Grid battles malaria
Malaria kills more than one million people each year, most of them young children living in Africa. Now physicists in the UK have shared their computers with biologists from countries including France and Korea in an effort to combat the disease.   view more (2007-02-01)

NASA probes the sources of the world's tiny pollutants
Pinpointing pollutant sources is an important part of the ongoing battle to improve air quality and to understand its impact on climate. Scientists using NASA data recently tracked the path and distribution of aerosols — tiny particles suspended in the air — to link their region of... view more (2007-01-31)

Airborne dust causes ripple effect on climate far away
When a small pebble drops into a serene pool of water, it causes a ripple in the water in every direction, even disturbing distant still waters.   view more (2007-01-30)

Research advances on nanotech workplace health and safety
"Companies, workers and investors alike are being challenged by the uncertainties surrounding nanotechnology workplace safety. These uncertainties include lack of sound, scientific information on occupational risks, poorly determined perceptual risks, and hesitancy over nanotechnology... view more (2007-01-18)

Europe forges long-term strategy for Space Exploration
Representatives from the UK and other European political, industrial and scientific sectors, together with members of the general public are helping to shape the future direction of space exploration.   view more (2007-01-11)

CDF precision measurement of W-boson mass suggests a lighter Higgs particle
Scientists of the CDF collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today (January 8, 2007) the world's most precise measurement by a single experiment of the mass of the W boson, the carrier of the weak nuclear force and a key parameter of the Standard... view more (2007-01-09)

New Evidence Links Stellar Remains to Oldest Recorded Supernova
The new study shows that the supernova remnant RCW 86 is much younger than previously thought. As such, the formation of the remnant appears to coincide with a supernova observed by Chinese astronomers in 185 A.D. The study used data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space... view more (2007-01-05)

Nanotech safety needs specific government risk research strategy and funding
"Prioritizing nanotechnology risk research isn't rocket science," said Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies chief scientist Andrew Maynard. Dr. Maynard's remark is in his testimony today before the federal government's first public meeting focused exclusively on research needs and... view more (2007-01-04)
