Meteorites discovered to carry interstellar carbon
Like an interplanetary spaceship carrying passengers, meteorites have long been suspected of ferrying relatively young ingredients of life to our planet. view more (2006-05-05)
Extra Money To Boost UK Science
PPARC has welcomed unreservedly the Government's announcement of a major boost for science funding in the United Kingdom. Chief Executive Professor Ian Halliday said, "This is tremendous news for all science in the UK. I am delighted that the Government has reversed the past under-investment in science and recognised the value of scientific... view more... (1998-07-14)
Prenatal alcohol exposure damages white matter, the brain's connective network
One part of the prenatal brain that may be particularly sensitive to alcohol's effects is white matter, nerve fibers through which information is exchanged between different areas of the central nervous system. A recent study has demonstrated that alcohol consumption during pregnancy can alter the microstructural integrity of developing fetal... view more... (2008-12-22)
Beyond the Large Hadron Collider
A briefing note based on a seminar and discussion held at the Institute of Physics on Thursday 3 October 2002. This seminar is part of a series of evening seminars and discussions that highlight exciting and important new areas of research in physics and their applications. Topics at previous seminars have included Photonics, e-Science, Climate... view more... (2002-11-18)
UK researchers aim to create black holes in the lab
Physicists in the UK are planning pioneering experiments to create tiny, artificial black holes in the laboratory which will be able to suck in light or sound waves. The researchers hope that the desk-top black holes will provide important information about the fundamental behaviour of matter and energy and help to resolve some of the apparent... view more...

Limited Biofuel Feedstock Supply?
The United States has embarked on an ambitious program to develop technology and infrastructure to economically and sustainably produce ethanol from biomass. view more (2007-11-29)
Urgent action needed to improve the unhealthy state of our prisons
The physical and mental health of prisoners is often worse when they return to society because of the appalling state of prison service health care, writes Sir David Ramsbotham, former UK Chief Inspector of Prisons, in this month's studentBMJ. view more (2002-01-17)
The violent lives of galaxies: Caught in the cosmic matter web
Astronomers are using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to dissect one of the largest structures in the Universe as part of a quest to understand the violent lives of galaxies. Hubble is providing indirect evidence of unseen dark matter tugging on galaxies in the crowded, rough-and-tumble environment of a massive supercluster of hundreds of... view more... (2008-01-11)
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 screening programmes that can be expensive and... view more... (2002-08-01)
XMM-Newton and Suzaku help pioneer method for probing exotic matter
Astronomers using XMM-Newton and Suzaku have seen Einstein's predicted distortion of space-time and pioneered a ground-breaking technique for determining the properties of neutron stars. view more (2007-08-28)
Crystal bells stay silent as physicists look for dark matter
Scientists of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment today announced that they have regained the lead in the worldwide race to find the particles that make up dark matter. The CDMS experiment, conducted a half-mile underground in a mine in Soudan, Minn., again sets the world's best constraints on the properties of dark matter candidates. view more (2008-02-26)
Brittlestar provides new model for stem cell research
The brittlestar, Amphiura filiformis, is a close relative of the starfish and can regenerate lost arms in a matter of weeks. view more (2006-04-10)
Cosmic dance helps galaxies lose weight
A study published this week in the journal Nature offers an explanation for the origin of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The research may settle an outstanding puzzle in understanding galaxy formation. view more (2009-07-30)
XMM-Newton reveals X-rays from gas streams around young stars
XMM-Newton has surveyed nearly two hundred stars under formation to reveal, contrary to expectations, how streams of matter fall onto the young stars' magnetic atmospheres and radiate X-rays. view more (2007-06-01)
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... (2008-08-14)
LSUHSC shows for first time infant inhalation of ultrafine air pollution linked to adult lung disease
Stephania Cormier, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Pharmacology at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, has shown for the first time that early exposure to environmentally persistent free radicals (present in airborne ultrafine particulate matter) affects long-term lung function. view more (2009-07-23)
Universe contains more calcium than expected
The universe contains one and a half times more calcium than previously assumed. This conclusion was drawn by astronomers of the SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, after observations with ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory. view more (2007-02-07)
The UAB is participating in the LHC project to study the origins of matter
On 23 August the Scientific Information Port (PIC), a technological centre located on the campus of the UAB, started work on the first stage of the European project Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest particle accelerator in the world, which has the aim of reproducing conditions similar to those produced during the Big Bang in order to study... view more...

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to Receive Additional $21.8M in Recovery Act Funding for New Research Instruments
The Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will receive $21.8 million in new funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The funding will catalyze instrumentation construction and improvements at the laboratory's two light source research facilities, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) and the Stanford... view more...

Observation of confinement phenomenon in condensed matter
An experiment has confirmed that spinons, particle-like magnetic excitations, can be confined in a magnetic insulator similar to the way elementary quarks are confined within individual protons and neutrons. view more (2009-11-30)
