Contrary to earlier predictions, Duke University engineers have found that a three-dimensional sound cloak is possible, at least in theory.   view more (2008-01-10)

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara make discovery in quantum mechanics
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have made an important advance in quantum mechanics using a superconducting electrical circuit. The finding is reported in this week's issue of the journal Nature.   view more (2009-09-24)

On the cutting edge: Carbon nanotube cutlery
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU) have designed a carbon nanotube knife that, in theory, would work like a tight-wire cheese slicer.   view more (2006-11-27)

Genetic differences influence aging rates in the wild
Long-lived, wild animals harbor genetic differences that influence how quickly they begin to show their age, according to the results of a long-term study reported online on December 13th in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication.   view more (2007-12-13)

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2003
The two Russian physisists Alexei Abrikosov, 75, and Vitaly Ginzburg, 87, and the British physicist Anthony Leggett, 65, will receive this year's Nobel Prize in Physics "for pioneering contributions to the theory of superconductors and superfluids".

Youths see all parental control negatively when there's a lot of it
A new study has found that young people feel differently about two types of parental control, generally viewing a type of control that's thought to be better for their development more positively.   view more (2009-11-13)

New research proves single origin of humans in Africa
New research published in the journal Nature (19 July) has proved the single origin of humans theory by combining studies of global genetic variations in humans with skull measurements across the world.   view more (2007-07-19)

Physicists offer new theory for iron compounds

Physicists find way to 'see' extra dimensions
Peering backward in time to an instant after the big bang, physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have devised an approach that may help unlock the hidden shapes of alternate dimensions of the universe.   view more (2007-02-05)

Two From One-Pitt Research Maps Out Evolution of Genders From Hermaphroditic Ancestors
Research from the University of Pittsburgh published in the Nov. 20 edition of "Heredity" could finally provide evidence of the first stages of the evolution of separate sexes, a theory that holds that males and females developed from hermaphroditic ancestors.   view more (2008-11-21)

Physicists say universe evolution favored three and seven dimensions
Physicists who work with a concept called string theory envision our universe as an eerie place with at least nine spatial dimensions, six of them hidden from us, perhaps curled up in some way so they are undetectable.   view more (2005-09-29)

What, oh, what are those actinides doing?
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are uniting theory, computation and experiment to discover exactly how heavy elements, such as uranium and technetium, interact in their environment.   view more (2007-08-20)

Flick of a protein switches immune response
A single protein can turn on and off a key component of the immune system by changing partners in an elegant genomic dance, said researchers at the University of Southern California and Harvard Medical School.   view more (2006-07-28)

The Prize in Economic Sciences 2000
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided that the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, 2000 will be shared between James J. Heckman University of Chicago, USA, and Daniel L. McFadden University of California, Berkeley, USA. In the field of microeconometrics, each of the laureates has developed theory and... view more...

UCR physicist demonstrates how light can be used to remotely operate micromachines
A research team led by Umar Mohideen, a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, has demonstrated in the laboratory that the Casimir force - the small attractive force that acts between two close parallel uncharged conducting plates - can be changed using a beam of light, making the remote operation of micromachines a possibility.   view more (2007-06-01)
