Why matter matters in the universe
A new physics discovery explores why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. view more (2008-03-31)
Unravelling a cosmic mystery-scientists discover the Universe's strongest magnetic field
Scientists from The University of Exeter and the International University, Bremen have discovered what is thought to be the strongest magnetic field in the Universe. view more (2006-03-31)
Introducing the 'coolest' spacecraft in the universe
The European Space Agency's (ESA) Planck mission, which will study the conditions present in our Universe shortly after the Big Bang, is reaching an important milestone with the integration of instruments into the satellite at Alcatel Alenia Space in Cannes, France. view more (2007-02-12)
Universe's oldest objects emerge from the background
The deepest reaches of space are permeated by a cloak of infrared radiation, an uneven energy swath generated by long-dead objects from the early universe. view more (2006-12-20)
First controlled production of atomic antimatter.
Physicists have just achieved the world's first controlled production of anti-hydrogen atoms, the crucial first step towards precision studies of its properties. This achievement has opened up the potential to cool, trap and study anti-atoms. A team from the University of Wales - Swansea, led by Professor Michael Charlton, played a key role in... view more...

Supercomputer could throw light on 'mysterious' dark energy
Cosmologists have run a series of huge computer simulations of the Universe that could ultimately help solve the mystery of dark energy. view more (2008-01-11)
Big magnet ready to face the big questions of the universe
The largest superconducting magnet ever built has successfully been powered up to its operating conditions at the first attempt. Called the Barrel Toroid because of its shape, this magnet is a vital part of ATLAS, one of the major particle detectors being prepared to take data at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the new particle accelerator... view more...

Cornell-led team detects dust around a primitive star, shedding new light on universe's origins
A Cornell-led team of astronomers has observed dust forming around a dying star in a nearby galaxy, giving a glimpse into the early universe and enlivening a debate about the origins of all cosmic dust. view more (2009-01-16)
Wet ethanol production process yields more ethanol and more co-products
Using a wet ethanol production method that begins by soaking corn kernels rather than grinding them, results in more gallons of ethanol and more usable co-products, giving ethanol producers a bigger bang for their buck - by about 20 percent. view more (2009-11-10)
Swift Satellite records early phase of gamma ray burst
UK astronomers, using a telescope aboard the NASA Swift Satellite, have captured information from the early stages of a gamma ray burst - the most violent and luminous explosions occurring in the Universe since the Big Bang. view more (2009-03-03)
Detecting the Traces of Mystery Matter
Using high-speed collisions between gold atoms, scientists think they have re-created one of the most mysterious forms of matter in the universe - quark-gluon plasma. view more (2005-08-01)
New Insight into the Cosmic Renaissance Epoch
VLT Discovers a Group of Early Inhabitants and Find Signs of Many More [1] Using the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT), two astronomers from Germany and the UK [2] have discovered some of the most distant galaxies ever seen. They are located about 12,600 million light-years away. It has taken the light now recorded by the VLT about nine-tenths of the... view more... (2003-08-21)
Flies in a spider's web: Galaxy caught in the making
In nature spiders earn our respect by constructing fascinating, well-organised webs in all shapes and sizes. But the beauty masks a cruel, fatal trap. Analogously, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has found a large galaxy 10.6 billion light-years away from Earth (at a redshift of 2.2) that is stuffing itself with smaller galaxies caught like... view more...

AMPUTATION AND PROSTHESIS OF THE BIG TOE IN ANCIENT EGYPT
Pathological research of human remains in the cemetery of the capital of ancient Egypt suggests that ancient Egyptians were the pioneers of amputation and prosthetic surgery, conclude investigators in a study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Andreas Nerlich and colleagues from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany,... view more... (2000-12-21)
The Caucasus glaciers in the past, present and future
Hydrometeorologists have counted that within the last century the area, volume and length of the Big Caucasus glaciers decreased steadily. The process continues now and will go on in the future. Along with that, the quantity of glaciers grows. The global climate change has naturally affected the glaciers. Researchers from the North-Caucasian... view more... (2003-11-21)
VLT Observations Address the Age of the Universe
The stream of important scientific results from ESOs Very Large Telescope (VLT) at Paranal (Chile) is increasing. Astronomers have had access to the first of the four 8.2-m telescopes since April 1999 and research articles based on observations with this new powerful facility are beginning to appear in larger numbers. The work reported here is one... view more... (1999-12-17)
Black Holes Lead Galaxy Growth, New Research Shows
Astronomers may have solved a cosmic chicken-and-egg problem -- the question of which formed first in the early Universe -- galaxies or the supermassive black holes seen at their cores. view more (2009-01-07)
The Institite of Physics Celebrates 125th Anniversary
The campaign will demonstrate that physics is central and integral to modern life. The posters placed on 'Megarears' (the back of buses) and on bus interiors will depict bright images about physics topics which will be familiar to passengers. The accompanying strapline will read 'Thanks to Physics'. view more (1999-02-10)
Research Europe 24 January issue: EU patent, R&D spending, education, big projects and ILL
Ministers fail to agree EU patent EU ministers failed to reach agreement on the Community patent by the end of 2001, in spite of holding an additional meeting on 20 December for just that purpose. Discussions now centre on whether to persevere with negotiations or offer a patent system that states can opt into. R&D must rise to 3 per cent of GDP... view more... (2002-01-24)
Media Invite - Britain at CERN Exhibition, Geneva
The British Consulate General in Geneva in collaboration with the British trade association BEAMA and Trade Partners UK in London is organising the 18th edition of the Britain at CERN exhibition with a special emphasis this year on technology transfer. The exhibition will be inaugurated at 10 am on 12 November by the British Minister for Small... view more... (2002-11-08)
