Magnetic transistor could 'dial in' quantum effects
A team of theoretical and experimental physicists from Rice University is preparing a unique probe in hopes of "dialing in" elusive quantum states called "quantum criticalities." view more (2005-12-13)
Just Scratching the Surface: New Technique Maps Nanomaterials as They Grow
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a measurement technique that will help scientists and companies map nanomaterials as they grow. view more (2008-11-05)
Physics World Digest: March 2002 edition
Special issue: women in physics When the astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell was a physics student at Glasgow in the 1960s, she was greeted by a barrage of wolf whistles and foot stamping every time she walked into the lecture theatre. Bell Burnell was, quite simply, the only woman in a class of 50 students. Although it is a tale that few young female... view more... (2002-03-01)
Researchers Create DNA-Based Sensors for Nano-Tongues and Nano-Noses
Nano-sized carbon tubes coated with strands of DNA can create tiny sensors with abilities to detect odors and tastes, according to researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Monell Chemical Sciences Center. view more (2005-09-16)
Astronomers find triple interactions of supermassive black holes to be common in early universe
New cosmological computer simulations produced by a team of astronomers from Northwestern University, Harvard University and the University of Michigan show for the first time that supermassive black holes (SMBHs), which exist at the centers of nearly all galaxies, often come together during triple galaxy interactions. view more (2007-01-09)
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)
Physicists uncover new solution for cosmic collisions
It turns out that our math teachers were right: being able to solve problems without a calculator does come in handy in the "real" world. view more (2008-01-11)
New Director, Physics Education for the Institute of Physics
The Institute of Physics announced today, 8 July 2002, that Professor Peter Main, 48, will become Director of Physics Education, and take up his post on 1 October 2002. He succeeds Peter Cooper, who is leaving the Institute to take up the post of Executive Secretary at the London Mathematical Society. Professor Main has been Head of Physics and... view more...

Rare radio supernova in nearby galaxy is nearest supernova in five years
The chance discovery last month of a rare radio supernova - an exploding star seen only at radio wavelengths and undetected by optical or X-ray telescopes - underscores the promise of new, more sensitive radio surveys to find supernovas hidden by gas and dust. view more (2009-05-28)
UMd-led team finds ancient asteroids formed at solar system's start
Using visible and infrared data collected from telescopes on Hawaii's Mauna Kea, a team of scientists, led by the University of Maryland's Jessica Sunshine, have identified three asteroids that appear to be among our Solar System's oldest objects. view more (2008-03-24)
Scientists pinpoint the 'edge of space'
Where does space begin? Scientists at the University of Calgary have created a new instrument that is able to track the transition between the relatively gentle winds of Earth's atmosphere and the more violent flows of charged particles in space - flows that can reach speeds well over 1000 km/hr. And they have accomplished this in unprecedented... view more... (2009-04-10)
'Beyond Einstein' research should begin with mission to study dark energy
NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy should pursue the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) as the first mission in the "Beyond Einstein" program, according to a new report from the National Research Council. view more (2007-09-07)

Astronomers from The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, have captured rare video of a meteor falling to Earth. view more (2008-03-10)
Penn Researchers Take a Big Step Forward in Making Smaller Circuits
Physicists at the University of Pennsylvania have overcome a major hurdle in the race to create nanotube-based electronics. view more (2005-08-01)
UBC, U of T team helps solve mystery of starlight's origins
Scientists from the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia have helped unveil the birthplaces of ancient stars using a two-tonne telescope carried by a balloon the size of a 33-storey building. view more (2009-04-09)
UC Berkeley astronomers find magnetic Slinky in constellation of Orion
Astronomers announced today (Thursday, Jan. 12) what may be the first discovery of a helical magnetic field in interstellar space, coiled like a snake around a gas cloud in the constellation of Orion. view more (2006-01-13)
Penn physicists track the random walks of ellipsoids, test 'lost' theory of Brownian motion
Research carried out at the University of Pennsylvania has definitively measured and described the Brownian motion of an isolated ellipsoidal particle, completing a path laid out by Einstein 100 years ago when he first described rotational Brownian motion for spheres in water. view more (2006-10-27)
Planet Orbiting a Giant Red Star Discovered with Hobby-Eberly Telescope
A planet orbiting a giant red star has been discovered by an astronomy team led by Penn State's Alex Wolszczan, who in 1992 discovered the first planets ever found outside our solar system. view more (2007-08-03)
First Stars Seen In Distant Galaxies
UK and US astronomers have used the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope to detect light coming from the first stars to form in some of the most distant galaxies yet seen. view more (2005-04-02)
