A new understanding of crystal structure of actinide metals
Researchers have a better understanding of how the crystal structure of some metals becomes stable through magnetism. Magnetic stabilization of the crystal structures of metals is rare. In some metals, such as manganese, iron, and cobalt, the magnetic interaction energy is large enough to influence the crystal structure.   view more (2007-06-07)

Christmas Star Does the Twist!
STRICT EMBARGO - 0001 HRS, MONDAY 10 DECEMBER 2001 A team of Scottish and French astronomers have discovered a festive star that does the twist. Discovered by astronomers from the University of St Andrews and the Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees, Toulouse during Christmas observations in Australia, the new phenomenon of twisting behaviour demonstrates a... view more...

Capture of nanomagnetic 'fingerprints' a boost for next-generation information storage media
In the race to develop the next generation of storage and recording media, a major hurdle has been the difficulty of studying the tiny magnetic structures that will serve as their building blocks.   view more (2009-01-29)

Neutron researchers discover widely sought property in magnetic semiconductor
Researchers working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated for the first time the existence of a key magnetic-as opposed to electronic-property of specially built semiconductor devices.   view more (2008-11-26)

Powerful explosions suggest neutron star missing link
Observations from NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) have revealed that the youngest known pulsing neutron star has thrown a temper tantrum.   view more (2008-02-22)

Blue dye could hold the key to super processing power

Researchers improve ability to write and store information on electronic devices
ew research led by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory physicist Matthias Bode provides a more thorough understanding of new mechanisms, which makes it possible to switch a magnetic nanoparticle without any magnetic field and may enable computers to more accurately write and store information.   view more (2007-09-14)

Mechanical motion used to 'spin' atoms in a gas
For the first time, mechanical motion has been used to make atoms in a gas "spin," scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report.   view more (2006-12-11)

Physicists describe a new mechanism for metallic magnetism
Predicting the magnetic behavior of metallic compounds is a surprisingly difficult problem for theoretical physicists.   view more (2005-08-26)

Fast quantum computer building block created
The fastest quantum computer bit that exploits the main advantage of the qubit over the conventional bit has been demonstrated by researchers at University of Michigan, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the University of California at San Diego.   view more (2008-08-21)

Imperial`s spin-out engine secures £20 million boost for development of new science, technology and medical companies
Imperial College and Nikko Principal Investments Ltd have signed a £20 million deal to accelerate the development of spin-out companies set up by Imperial College Innovations, the College`s technology transfer company. Nikko, via its new subsidiary NPI Ventures, will benefit from the opportunity to co-invest in Imperial spin-out companies at... view more... (2002-04-02)

UK Universities show that research is worth it
The UK is now more efficient than the US at converting university research into useful inventions and commercialising them through spin-off companies, Dr Ederyn Williams, Director of Warwick Ventures at the University of Warwick, will tell a Royal Academy of Engineering conference on Monday 29 April. Creating Commercial Success from Biomedical... view more... (2002-04-26)

Discovery of 'hidden' quantum order improves prospects for quantum super computers
An international team of scientists, including several at The Johns Hopkins University, has detected a hidden magnetic "quantum order" that extends over chains of nearly 100 atoms in a material that is otherwise magnetically disordered.   view more (2007-07-27)

Scientists build 'magnetic semiconductors' one atom at a time
In a stride that could hasten the development of computer chips that both calculate and store data, a team of Princeton scientists has turned semiconductors into magnets by the precise placement of metal atoms within a material from which chips are made.   view more (2006-07-28)

UD researchers put 'spin' in silicon, advance new age of electronics
Electrical engineers from the University of Delaware and Cambridge NanoTech have demonstrated for the first time how the spin properties of electrons in silicon--the world's most dominant semiconductor, used in electronics ranging from computers to cell phones--can be measured and controlled.   view more (2007-05-21)

'NMR on a chip' features NIST magnetic mini-sensor
A super-sensitive mini-sensor developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can detect nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in tiny samples of fluids flowing through a novel microchip.   view more (2008-02-20)

Physicists trap, map tiny magnetic vortex
In a research first that could lead to a new generation of hard drives capable of storing thousands of movies per square inch, physicists at Rice University have decoded the three-dimensional structure of a tornado-like magnetic vortex no larger than a red blood cell.   view more (2006-09-08)

UAB Scientists break the hard drive miniaturisation limit
Magnetic memory-based information storage systems are getting smaller and smaller, while their capacities are getting larger. However, there is a limit to how small they can get. If the tiny magnets used to store information are smaller than around five nanometres (millionths of a millimetre), vibrations caused by temperature can erase their... view more... (2003-07-10)

Magnetic nanoparticles navigate therapeutic genes through the body
Health professionals send genes and healthy cells on their way through the bloodstream so that they can, for example, repair tissue damage to arteries.   view more (2009-03-05)
