New frontiers in science education
This year, 24 exhibits cover an unprecedented range of science. Students can see: a model of the robot Mars lander Beagle 2; a computer based hands-on device for training surgeons; an antimatter detector from a key physics experiment; designer magnetic materials; the impact of genetically modified... view more (1999-06-11)

Researchers study role of natural organic matter in environment
The decomposition of plant, animal and microbial material in soil and water produces a variety of complex organic molecules, collectively called natural organic matter. These compounds play many important roles in the environment.   view more (2006-12-12)

Listening to dark matter
A team of researchers in Canada have made a bold stride in the struggle to detect dark matter. The PICASSO collaboration has documented the discovery of a significant difference between the acoustic signals induced by neutrons and alpha particles in a detector based on superheated liquids.   view more (2008-10-16)

EUROCORES conference gives cold quantum matter a European twist
Quantum matter has long fascinated the science community as many completely new physical phenomena have emerged from this field. Cold quantum matter can be used for applications such as high-precision clocks, which may run only one second behind per three million years!   view more (2008-05-06)

Carnegie Mellon scientists offer explanation for 'face blindness'
For the first time, scientists have been able to map the disruption in neural circuitry of people suffering from congenital prosopagnosia, sometimes known as face blindness, and have been able to offer a biological explanation for this intriguing disorder.   view more (2008-11-26)

What is time?
The concept of time is self-evident. An hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time.   view more (2005-04-13)

A microscope for Higgs bosons and squarks - The Physics Congress 2002
There is now agreement in Europe, Asia and the United States of America that the next major project in particle physics should be a world-wide linear electron-positron collider. Dr Phil Burrows of the University of Oxford will explain to the Institute of Physics Congress on Tuesday 9 April how this... view more (2002-04-02)

Water-diffusion technology identifies brain regions damaged by prenatal alcohol exposure
Scientists know that children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) often have structural brain damage. Yet little is known about how white matter connections, and deep gray matter structures that act as relay stations, are affected in children with FASD.   view more (2008-07-21)

Imaging shows structural changes in mild traumatic brain injury
Researchers report that diffusion tensor imaging can identify structural changes in the white matter of the brain that correlates to cognitive deficits even in patients with mild traumatic brain injury.   view more (2007-10-26)

Study shows clumps and streams of dark matter in inner regions of the Milky Way
Using one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world to simulate the halo of dark matter that envelopes our galaxy, researchers found dense clumps and streams of the mysterious stuff lurking in the inner regions of the halo, in the same neighborhood as our solar system.   view more (2008-08-07)

Record: fastest flashing star
Dutch researcher Steve van Straaten set a record during his doctoral research. The researcher registered the fastest ever change in the X-ray emission originating from a binary star. The record-breaking binary star consists of a neutron star and a lighter companion star. Astronomer Steve van... view more (2004-05-07)

Pitt researchers create new form of matter
Physicists at the University of Pittsburgh have demonstrated a new form of matter that melds the characteristics of lasers with those of the world's best electrical conductors.   view more (2007-05-21)

The first 3-D map of the universe
By analyzing the COSMOS field, the largest field of galaxies ever observed with the Hubble space telescope, an international team of scientists led by researchers from the California Institute of Technology (United States) and researchers from the associated laboratories of the CNRS and the CEA ,... view more (2007-03-05)

New particles get a mass boost
A sophisticated, new analysis has revealed that the next frontier in particle physics is farther away than once thought. New forms of matter not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics are most likely twice as massive as theorists had previously calculated, according to a just-published... view more (2007-10-02)

Soap, DNA and semiconductors
How can studying soap lead to better methods for transporting drugs around the body? Where’s the link between semiconductors and DNA and how can statistical physics reveal how ecosystems evolve? Find out at the Institute of Physics Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) Conference... view more (2000-12-13)

New tool tracks brain development in babies
Researchers have used a new technique to monitor brain development in infants and detect disturbances in white matter, according to a study in the July issue of Radiology.   view more (2006-06-27)

Astronomers weigh neutrinos with the universe
Neutrinos, the lightest of the known elementary particles, weigh a billionth (one part in a thousand million) of a hydrogen atom at most, and can account for no more than one-fifth of the dark matter in the Universe, according to findings by astronomers in Cambridge, who used data from the... view more (2002-04-04)

Physicists create a 'perfect' way to study the Big Bang
Physicists have created the state of matter thought to have filled the Universe just a few microseconds after the big bang and found it to be different from what they were expecting. Instead of a gas, it is more like a liquid. Understanding why it is a liquid should take physicists a step closer to... view more (2005-07-21)

Where there's wildfire smoke, there's toxicity
