Physics World Digest: August 2002 edition
Physicists see eye to eye with opthamologists Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in adults - yet over half of us who have the disease do not realise that we are suffering from the condition. While the disease can be treated if caught soon enough, early diagnosis relies on regular... view more (2002-08-01)

Crash Test-Iconic Rings and Flares of Galaxies Created by Violent, Intergalactic Collisions, Research by Pitt and Partners Finds
The bright pinwheels and broad star sweeps iconic of disk galaxies such as the Milky Way might all be the shrapnel from massive, violent collisions with other galaxies and galaxy-size chunks of dark matter, according to a multi-institutional project involving the University of Pittsburgh.   view more (2008-11-24)

Nature press release for 19 September issue
[1] PHYSICS: CERN MAKES ENOUGH ANTIHYDROGEN TO TEST THEORY (DOI: 10.1038/nature01096) ***This paper will be published electronically on Nature`s website on 18 September at 1900 London time / 1400 US Eastern time (which is also when the embargo lifts) as part of the AOP (ahead of print) programme.... view more (2002-09-19)

Upside-down underwater telescope to study visitors from space
Scientists from the Universities of Sheffield and Leeds will soon be able to study some of the most elusive particles known to man, thanks to a giant telescope under the sea that looks down towards the centre of the Earth rather than up into the sky. Together with fellow scientists from across... view more (2003-03-17)

Laser-trapping of rare element gets unexpected assist
Argonne researchers have successfully laser-cooled and trapped atoms of radium - the first time this rare element has been captured in a magneto-optical trap - with an assist from an unexpected source.   view more (2007-05-02)

Harvard Six Cities Study Follow Up: Reducing Soot Particles Is Associated with Longer Lives
An eight-year follow up to the landmark Harvard Six Cities Study has found an association between people living longer and cities reducing the amount of fine particulate matter, or soot, in their air.   view more (2006-03-16)

Astronomers Pioneer New Method For Probing Exotic Matter
Using European and Japanese/NASA X-ray satellites, astronomers have seen Einstein's predicted distortion of space-time around three neutron stars, and in doing so they have pioneered a groundbreaking technique for determining the properties of these ultradense objects.   view more (2007-08-28)

UQ researchers discover some of the oldest forms of life
University of Queensland researchers have identified microbial remains in some of the oldest preserved organic matter on Earth, confirmed to be 3.5 billion years-old.   view more (2007-08-07)

Chemists look through glass to find secrets that are less clear
A new understanding of how glass is formed may assist with our understanding of everything from the design of golf club heads to the structure of the early universe.   view more (2006-06-07)

University of Minnesota astronomers find gaping hole in the Universe
University of Minnesota astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies and gas, as well as the mysterious, unseen "dark matter." While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the... view more (2007-08-24)

The Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM) opens an antenna in Grenoble
One of the main institutional functions of the Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM) is the promotion of the access and participation of scientists, young researchers and technicians in international projects and laboratories.   view more (1999-12-01)

New Research Turns Sewage Farms into Power Plants
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Warwick Process Technology Group have devised a process that turns wet waste from sewage farms and paper mills into a source of power. University of Warwick researcher Dr Ashok Bhattacharya and his team are part of a Europe wide consortium that have... view more (2002-04-29)

High Energy Mystery lurks at the Galactic Centre
A mystery lurking at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy - an object radiating high-energy gamma rays - has been detected by an international team of astronomers. Their research, published today (September 22nd) in the Journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, was carried out using the High Energy... view more (2004-09-22)

Mystery of missing hydrogen
Something vital is missing in the far distant reaches of the Universe: hydrogen - the raw material for stars, planets and possible life.   view more (2008-11-24)

European Masterclasses on Physics: research centres opened for 3000 high school students
On occasion of the World Year Physics, the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics is participating from March 7th to 19th in the Physics European Masterclasses.

ESA's XMM-Newton gains deep insights into the distant Universe
Using XMM-Newton, astronomers have obtained the world's deepest 'wide screen' X-ray image of the cosmos to date. Their observations show newly discovered clusters of galaxies and provide insights into the structure of the distant Universe"¦ Unlike grains of sand on a beach, matter is not... view more (2003-07-14)

Sewage Sludge Digestion: Less sewage residues, more energy
On behalf of the Abwasserzweckverband Heidelberg (Association for Sewage), the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) in April of last year added a high-rate stage to the Heidelberg municipal sewage plant. The aim was to increase the economy of the digestion... view more (2002-08-30)

Streamlining brain signals for speed and efficacy
Life exists at the edge of chaos, where small changes can have striking and unanticipated effects, and major stimuli may go unheard.   view more (2008-10-23)

New analysis puts dark matter back into elliptical galaxies
According to the prevailing "cold dark matter" theory of the evolution of the universe, every galaxy is surrounded by a halo of dark matter that can only be detected indirectly by observing its gravitational effects.   view more (2005-09-29)

The secret life of galaxies
Looking up at the night sky you could be forgiven for believing that the sedate progress of the stars across the firmament belies the serene nature of galaxies. But a closer look at our celestial neighbours reveals that the reality is very different.   view more (2008-01-11)

Hubble finds double Einstein ring
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a never-before-seen optical alignment in space: a pair of glowing rings, one nestled inside the other like a bull's-eye pattern. The double-ring pattern is caused by the complex bending of light from two distant galaxies strung directly behind a... view more (2008-01-11)

MIT reveals superconducting surprise
