Inner workings of photosynthesis revealed by powerful new laser technique
Instant pictures showing how the sun's energy moves inside plants have been taken for the first time, according to research out today (Friday 6 February) in Physical Review Letters. view more (2009-02-06)
Researchers Produce Firsts with Bursts of Light
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have generated extremely short pulses of light that are the strongest of their type ever produced and could prove invaluable in probing the ultra-fast motion of atoms and electrons. view more (2007-07-25)
Modified electron microscope identifies atoms
A new electron microscope recently installed in Cornell's Duffield Hall is enabling scientists for the first time to form images that uniquely identify individual atoms in a crystal and see how those atoms bond to one another. And in living color. view more (2008-02-22)
By color-coding atoms, new Cornell electron microscope promises big advance in materials analysis
A new electron microscope recently installed in Cornell's Duffield Hall is enabling scientists for the first time to form images that uniquely identify individual atoms in a crystal and see how those atoms bond to one another. And in living color. view more (2008-02-22)
Ultrashort light pulse blazes new paths for science, industry
Researchers in Italy have created an ultrashort light pulse-a single isolated burst of extreme-ultraviolet light that lasts for only 130 attoseconds (billionths of a billionth of a second). view more (2007-05-02)
Caltech scientists use high-pressure 'alchemy' to create nonexpanding metals
By squeezing a typical metal alloy at pressures hundreds of thousands of times greater than normal atmospheric pressure, scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created a material that does not expand when heated, as does nearly every normal metal, and acts like a metal with an entirely different chemical composition. view more (2009-06-16)
Billions of particles of anti-matter created in laboratory
ake a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as positrons, shoots out of the target in a cone-shaped plasma "jet." view more (2008-11-18)
Algorithm advance produces quantum calculation record
Two theoreticians from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Indiana University (IU) have published the most accurate values yet for fundamental atomic properties of a molecule-values calculated from theory alone. view more (2006-03-21)
Chance encounter with comet nets surprising results
Comets are made of the most primitive stuff in the solar system. As hunks of rock and ice that never coalesced into more planets, they give researchers clues to the evolution of solar systems. view more (2007-10-02)
Purdue scientists see biochemistry's future - with quantum physics
Chemists who have trouble predicting how some large, complex biological molecules will react with others may soon have a solution from the world of computational quantum physics. view more (2005-09-16)
High-speed signal mixer demonstrates capabilities of transistor laser
Scientists at the University of Illinois have successfully demonstrated a microwave signal mixer made from a tunnel-junction transistor laser. Development of the device brings researchers a big step closer to higher speed electronics and higher performance electrical and optical integrated circuits. view more (2009-03-20)
ESA's Cluster solved an auroral puzzle
ESA's four Cluster spacecraft have made a remarkable set of observations that has led to a breakthrough in understanding the origin of a peculiar and puzzling type of aurora. These aurorae - seen as bright spots in Earth's atmosphere and called 'dayside proton auroral spots' - occur when fractures appear in the Earth's magnetic field, allowing... view more... (2003-05-20)
Optics made to measure
If you are in the business of developing high-speed electronic components, it pays not to lose sight of the electrons. To keep track of them you will need to use dedicated optical elements, such as those now on offer from UltraFast Innovations GmbH. view more (2009-09-17)

Carefully Mixed Radiation Cocktail Reduces Collateral Damage In Breast Cancer Patients
A carefully determined mixture of electron and x-ray beams precisely treated breast tumors while significantly reducing collateral skin damage in 78 patients. view more (2006-07-31)
Scientists offer new view of photosynthesis
During the remarkable cascade of events of photosynthesis, plants approach the pinnacle of stinginess by scavenging nearly every photon of available light energy to produce food. Yet after many years of careful research into its exact mechanisms, some key questions remain about this fundamental biological process that supports all life on earth. view more (2007-05-04)
MIT reveals superconducting surprise
MIT physicists have taken a step toward understanding the puzzling nature of high-temperature superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with no resistance at temperatures well above absolute zero. view more (2008-02-13)
A Theoretical Breakthrough Inspired by Experiment-Calculating Electron Correlations in the Hydrogen Molecule
Need to understand the details of how a molecule is put together? Want to see the effects of the intricate dance that its electrons do to make a chemical bond? Try blowing a molecule to bits and calculating what happens to all the pieces. view more (2005-12-16)
Argonne scientists prove unconventional superconductivity in new iron arsenide compounds
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory used inelastic neutron scattering to show that superconductivity in a new family of iron arsenide superconductors cannot be explained by conventional theories. view more (2009-01-13)
UC San Diego Physicists Reveal Secrets of Newest Form of Carbon
Using one of the world's most powerful sources of man-made radiation, physicists from UC San Diego, Columbia University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have uncovered new secrets about the properties of graphene-a form of pure carbon that may one day replace the silicon in computers, televisions, mobile phones and other common electronic... view more...
