Magnetic Fields Play Larger Role in Star Formation than Previously Thought
he simple picture of star formation calls for giant clouds of gas and dust to collapse inward due to gravity, growing denser and hotter until igniting nuclear fusion. In reality, forces other than gravity also influence the birth of stars. New research shows that cosmic magnetic fields play a more important role in star formation than previously... view more...

Researchers at The University of Manchester facilitate the development of advanced magnetic materials
Even without noticing this, everyday we all make use of many magnetic gadgets and devices, both at home and at work. There are dozens of magnets working in our cars and household appliances and billions of tiny magnets keep records on computer hard disks. These are just a few examples of the importance of magnetic materials in supporting our... view more... (2003-12-17)

Complex order parameter in ruthenate superconductors confirmed
Since it was discovered to be superconducting over a decade ago, the pairing symmetry of strontium ruthenium oxide has been widely explored and debated. Now, a team of researchers led by Dale Van Harlingen at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say the debate is over.   view more (2006-11-28)

Imperial College Company Maker wins DTI support for Biotech Incubation
ICCM gains a second round of funding from the BMI Challenge Award The Department of Trade and Industry has awarded Imperial College Company Maker Ltd (ICCM), a further £135,000 under the Business Mentoring and Incubation Challenge (BMI), in recognition of its early success and the value of expanding its achievements. Imperial College... view more... (2000-07-26)

California's central coast earthquake hazards: New information about recently identified faults
Seismologists are re-evaluating the earthquake potential of the Central Coast, a very complex tectonic region located west of the San Andreas Fault, between Monterey Bay and the Western Transverse Ranges.   view more (2009-04-09)

A researcher of UPV/EHU has designed nanomagnets for industry
The PhD, defended by chemist Sonia Moralejo García at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), achieved a well-defined line for the manufacture of nanomagnets and other magnetic devices of wide industrial application.   view more (2008-02-13)

Ultracold atoms produce long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny speck of matter has something called "spin" - an intrinsic trait like eye color.   view more (2006-03-15)

Shape matters in the case of cobalt nanoparticles
Shape is turning out to be a particularly important feature of some commercially important nanoparticles-but in subtle ways.   view more (2009-06-18)

Quantum dance: Discovery led by Princeton researchers could revolutionize computing
An international team of scientists, led by a Princeton University group, has observed an exciting and strange behavior in electrons' spin within a new material that could be harnessed to transform computing and electronics.   view more (2009-02-19)

Light Gives Asteroids Spin
Astronomers have observed an asteroid change the rate at which it spins for the first time, and shown that this is due to a theoretical effect predicted but never before seen   view more (2007-03-12)

UAB Researchers Develop a Model for Optimising the Magnetic Levitation of Superconductors
A research team in the Physics Department at the UAB, formed by Àlvar S' nchez, Carles Navau (also lecturer and researcher at the Escola Universitaria Salesiana de Sarri' ) and Enric Pardo, have developed a complete theoretical model that allows for the detailed study of the magnetic force of levitation that appears in a high-temperature... view more...

'Tornadoes' are transferred from light to sodium atoms
For the first time, tornado-like rotational motions have been transferred from light to atoms in a controlled way at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).   view more (2006-11-10)

Transcranial magnetic stimulation: An effective treatment for depression
Current antidepressant therapies are not beneficial for at least a third of depressed individuals, leaving many with a lack of adequate treatment options. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive technique that excites neurons in the brain by magnetic pulses introduced through the scalp, has previously been identified as a potential... view more...

RIT study predicts how fast a black hole can be booted from a galaxy
Scientists have discovered for the first time just how fast a supermassive black hole can be thrown from a galaxy when it merges with another black hole. The crucial factor in producing large "kicks" turns out to be the spin that the black holes carry prior to the merger.   view more (2007-05-31)

New theory for latest high-temperature superconductors
Physicists from Rice and Rutgers universities have published a new theory that explains some of the complex electronic and magnetic properties of iron "pnictides." In a series of startling discoveries this spring, pnictides were shown to superconduct at relatively high temperatures. The surprising discoveries created a great deal of... view more...

Glasgow astronomers explain hot star disks
Astronomers have been puzzled for decades as to how the rings of hot gas surrounding certain types of star are formed. Now a team of scientists from the Universities of Glasgow and Wisconsin believe they have found the answer. The team studied a type of young, hot star, known as a "Be star", that has a disk of glowing gas around it, similar to the... view more... (2002-11-01)

Lille, the European hub of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Lille is at the leading edge worldwide in terms of research into Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). NMR is THE big subject in vogue in the current scientific debates. Since its discovery in 1946 by Félix Bloch and Edward Purcell, twelve Nobel prizes have been awarded for their work on NMR. To sum up, we can say that NMR is a revolutionary... view more...
