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 when funding is more difficult than ever to secure. view more (2007-02-16)
CERN announces new start-up schedule for world's most powerful particle accelerator
Speaking at the 142nd session of the CERN Council today, the Organization's Director General Robert Aymar announced that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will start up in May 2008, taking the first steps towards studying physics at a new high-energy frontier. view more (2007-06-25)
First beam for Large Hadron Collider
An international collaboration of scientists today sent the first beam of protons zooming at nearly the speed of light around the world's most powerful particle accelerator-the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)-located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. view more (2008-09-11)
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)
Iowa State scientists, students contribute to world's biggest science experiment
The first beam of protons will begin racing around the world's biggest science experiment on Wednesday, Sept. 10, and Iowa State University physicists will be part of the research team taking notes. view more (2008-09-09)
Fermilab collider experiments discover rare single top quark
Scientists of the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have observed particle collisions that produce single top quarks. view more (2009-03-10)
NASA's Fermi Finds Gamma-ray Galaxy Surprises
Back in June 1991, just before the launch of NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, astronomers knew of gamma rays from exactly one galaxy beyond our own. view more (2009-07-15)
Scientists image a single HIV particle being born
A mapmaker and a mathematician may seem like an unlikely duo, but together they worked out a way to measure longitude - and kept millions of sailors from getting lost at sea. view more (2008-05-27)
The Innovation Review: response from Research Councils UK
A government report examining the contribution that innovation makes to closing the nation's productivity gap has been welcomed by the UK's Research Councils. The DTI's Innovation Review, published today, recognises that the UK's Research Councils have significantly increased the rate of knowledge transfer from their research activities in recent... view more...

'Armored' bubbles can exist in stable non-spherical shapes
Researchers at Harvard University have demonstrated that gas bubbles can exist in stable non-spherical shapes without the application of external force. view more (2005-12-15)
Last large piece of ATLAS detector lowered underground
Today, researchers in the U.S. ATLAS collaboration joined colleagues around the world to celebrate a pivotal landmark in the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - the lowering of the final piece of the ATLAS particle detector into the underground collision hall at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. view more (2008-03-03)
Electric sand findings could lead to better climate models
Wind isn't acting alone in the geological process behind erosion, sand dunes and airborne dust particles called aerosols. view more (2008-01-08)
Long the Fixation of Physicists Worldwide, a Tiny Particle Is Found
After decades of intensive effort by both experimental and theoretical physicists worldwide, a tiny particle with no charge, a very low mass and a lifetime much shorter than a nanosecond, dubbed the "axion," has now been detected by the University at Buffalo physicist who first suggested its existence in a little-read paper as early as... view more...

Fusing physics with medicine to fight cancer
Everyone's lives are touched by cancer - it is a disease that affects 1 in 3 of us throughout our lifetime. Future developments that lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective therapy lie in further successful collaboration between high energy physicists and the healthcare industry. view more (2005-04-28)
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)
Nanopowder Consisting Of Identical Particles
High-quality nanopowders made of refractory ceramics are a rare and very expensive material. All known methods of their manufacturing face the same problems - scanty quantities, extensive variety of particle sizes and expensive production. Researchers from the town of Tomsk have invented and manufactured a device to produce a choice selection of... view more... (2004-03-26)

Scientific community urges officials and public to use latest evidence as guide in H1N1 prevention and protection procedures
As flu season draws nearer along with the potential for resurgence in H1N1, leading infectious diseases doctors, hospital epidemiologists, and infection preventionists urge officials to base recommendations for the public and healthcare workers on scientific knowledge and frontline experience gained from the outbreak this summer. view more (2009-08-12)
Dramatic Difference Discovered In Behaviour Of Matter And Antimatter
Today, August 2nd 2004, particle physicists from the UK and around the world working on the BABAR experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the USA, announced exciting new results demonstrating a dramatic difference in the behaviour of matter and antimatter. Their discovery may help to explain why the Universe we live in is... view more... (2004-08-02)
Caught in Flight
Chemists are very interested in unusual molecules that are made from atoms of a single element. For example, fullerenes ("buckyballs") and nanotubes, made of pure carbon, are generating a lot of excitement among materials scientists. If all were as it should be, the element phosphorus should be more similar to carbon than any other member of the... view more... (1999-11-24)
