Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields. view more (2007-11-02)
Electrons defeat anthrax
Perhaps, bioterrorists will not be able to spread lethal bacteria of anthrax in envelopes all over the world. Siberian biologists and physics have thought up how to adapt electron accelerator that is usually used for sterilizing medical equipment for decontamination of letters. To optimize the power of the accelerator they calculated how many... view more... (2002-10-11)
A novel X-ray source could be brightest in the world
The future of high-intensity x-ray science has never been brighter now that scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have devised a new type of next generation light sources. view more (2008-06-23)
OU professor teams with German scientists on discovery of rare molecule
A rare "Rydberg" molecule discovered by scientists from the University of Stuttgart and University of Oklahoma upheld scientific theory predicting the molecule existed. view more (2009-05-08)
Caltech biologists spy on the secret inner life of a cell
The transportation of antibodies from a mother to her newborn child is vital for the development of that child's nascent immune system. view more (2008-10-13)
Argonne scientists peer into heart of compound that may detect chemical, biological weapons
A light-transmitting compound that could one day be used in high-efficiency fiber optics and in sensors to detect biological and chemical weapons at long distance almost went undiscovered by scientists because its structure was too difficult to examine. view more (2008-09-29)
NEW APPROACH TO MASK-MAKING COULD RESULT IN FASTER COMPUTER CHIPS
British scientists have developed a revolutionary way to fabricate photomasks - a crucial component used in the manufacture of silicon chips. The technique could solve one of the most pressing problems in chip design - how to create increasingly narrow lines on the silicon wafer that form the chip's circuitry. Smaller linewidths enable more... view more... (1999-04-08)
Spin-polarized electrons on demand
Many hopes are pinned on spintronics. In the future it could replace electronics, which in the race to produce increasingly rapid computer components, must at sometime reach its limits. Different from electronics, where whole electrons are moved (the digital "one" means "an electron is present on the component", zero means... view more... (2009-01-22)
Men with prostate cancer avoid radiation due to misconceptions
Negative perceptions about radiation therapy can strongly influence a prostate cancer patient's choice to avoid external beam radiation therapy, even though studies have proven the treatment to be as safe and effective as other treatments for the disease, including surgery. view more (2006-11-06)
Cone-Beam CT faster, potentially more accurate than conventional mammography
Cone-beam breast CT provides exceptional tissue contrast and can potentially reduce examination time with comparable radiation dose to conventional 2D mammography, according to a new study by a team of researchers from the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. view more (2007-12-28)
£1 Million Grant for New World Class Facility at Surrey
The Ion Beam Centre at the University of Surrey has received a grant of £1million from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for a new continuously operating state-of-the-art ion beam accelerator that will replace the current 47 year old machine. This will be a truly multidisciplinary and world-class facility that... view more... (2000-06-05)
Superconducting nanowires show ability to measure magnetic fields
By using DNA molecules as scaffolds, scientists have created superconducting nanodevices that demonstrate a new type of quantum interference and could be used to measure magnetic fields and map regions of superconductivity. view more (2005-06-16)
University of Texas at Austin physicists slow and control supersonic helium beam
The speed of a beam of helium atoms can be controlled and slowed using an "atomic paddle" much as a tennis player uses a racquet to control tennis balls, physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered. view more (2007-03-09)
Doctors investigating 'one stop shop' radiotherapy at time of surgery
A new radiotherapy technique that can be carried out at the time of surgery and avoids long drawn out sessions of treatment may prove better at preventing the cancer returning in the breast and also bring breast conservation surgery within the reach of women in developing countries. But, although intraoperative radiotherapy appears promising... view more... (2002-03-19)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)
From zero to a billion electron volts in 3.3 centimeters
In a precedent-shattering demonstration of the potential of laser-wakefield acceleration, scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, working with colleagues at the University of Oxford, have accelerated electron beams to energies exceeding a billion electron volts (1 GeV) in a distance of just 3.3 centimeters. view more (2006-09-25)
Stunt doubles: Ultracold atoms could replicate the electron 'jitterbug'
Ultracold atoms moving through a carefully designed arrangement of laser beams will jiggle slightly as they go, two NIST scientists have predicted. view more (2008-03-11)

MINOS detector ready to take first data
Today, (August 14th), sees the start of data collection on the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) detector, situated in the Soudan iron mine, Minnesota, USA. UK particle physicists, working within an international collaboration, will use the MINOS detector to investigate the phenomenon of neutrino mass - a puzzle that goes to the... view more...

NIST scientists use electron beam to unravel the secrets of an 'atomic switch'
Scientists at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used a beam of electrons to move a single atom in a small molecule back and forth between two positions on a crystal surface, a significant step toward learning how to build an "atomic switch" that turns electrical signals on and off in... view more...
