FSU's Magnet Lab to build world's strongest magnet designed for 'neutron scattering' experiments
The Hahn-Meitner Institute in Berlin has contracted with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Florida State University to build an $8.7-million hybrid magnet for "neutron scattering" experiments. view more (2007-04-05)
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)
Superfluid-superconductor relationship is detailed
Scientists have studied superconductors and superfluids for decades. Now, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have drawn the first detailed picture of the way a superfluid influences the behavior of a superconductor. In addition to describing previously unknown superconductor behavior, these calculations could change scientists'... view more... (2008-08-04)
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)
Supernova leaves behind mysterious object
Thanks to data from ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, a team of scientists taking a closer look at an object discovered over 25 years ago have found that it is like none other known in our galaxy. view more (2006-07-10)
Media Invitation: 20 years of excellence - Catch-up on the latest news from ISIS and tour the facility
ISIS celebrates 20 years of excellence view more (2004-12-06)
New detector will aid dark matter search
Several research projects are underway to try to detect particles that may make up the mysterious "dark matter" believed to dominate the universe's mass. view more (2008-12-12)
Physicist: Stars can be strange
According to the "Strange Matter Hypothesis," which gained popularity in the paranormal 1980's, nuclear matter, too, can be strange. view more (2006-12-19)
Large-scale cousin of elusive 'magnetic monopoles' found at NIST
Any child can tell you that a magnet has a "north" and a "south" pole, and that if you break it into two pieces, you invariably get two smaller magnets with two poles of their own. But scientists have spent the better part of the last eight decades trying to find, in essence, a magnet with only one pole. view more (2009-10-07)
Supernova birth seen for first time
Astronomers have seen the aftermath of spectacular stellar explosions known as supernovae before, but until now no one has witnessed a star dying in real time. view more (2008-05-22)
NIST's new advanced imaging facility peers inside hydrogen fuel cells
Thanks to a new and improved imaging instrument at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), scientists now can conduct detailed surveillance on the comings and goings of water inside hydrogen fuel cells-a piece of intelligence key to making the technology practical for powering future automobiles. view more (2006-08-21)
Exploring Mars ... from Grenoble
A neutron diffraction experiment carried out recently at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble by the physicists Bachir Ouladdiaf (ILL), Gérard Fillion and Rafik Ballou (Laboratoire Lois Néel, CNRS, GRENOBLE), in partnership with the geophysicists Pierre Rochette (CNRS and Université d'Aix-Marseille) and Lon Hood (University... view more...

Structure of liquid alumina determined for first time
The structure of liquid alumina has been determined for the very first time by scientists at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA). At over two thousand degrees, this is the hottest liquid to reveal where its atoms are to be found (Physical Review Letters, Volume 86, Number 21, May 2001). The extremely high temperature at which alumina [a... view more... (2001-05-31)
Origins of Pompeii-style artifacts examined at ISIS
Roman artefacts which are nearly two thousand years old with similarities to ancient remains found at Pompeii in Italy have been examined at the Science and Technology Facilities Council's ISIS neutron source (21-22 February). view more (2009-02-25)
In Unique Stellar Laboratory, Einstein's Theory Passes Strict, New Test
Taking advantage of a unique cosmic configuration, astronomers have measured an effect predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity in the extremely strong gravity of a pair of superdense neutron stars. Essentially, the famed physicist's 93-year-old theory passed yet another test. view more (2008-07-07)
Joint research: Probing the mysteries of a surprisingly tough hydrogel
Some 46 million people suffer from arthritis in the United States alone. The worst cases require painful surgeries to drill holes in and reinforce joints. view more (2008-03-12)
Flares illuminate the secret life of a quiescent black hole
Astronomers probing the intimate details of apparently quiescent stellar black holes have discovered that in reality they are dynamic, lively places, subject to flares that briefly illuminate the whole of the gas disc around the black hole. Their observations are helping to build up a picture of precisely where X-rays are generated in the gas as... view more... (2002-04-04)
Opening Up the Dark Side of the Universe
Physicists in the UK are ready to start construction of a major part of an advanced new experiment, designed to search for elusive gravitational waves. They are already part of two experiments: the UK/German GEO 600 project and the US LIGO experiment (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), both in their commissioning phases. By... view more... (2003-09-10)
Astronomers catch a star being revved-up
Researchers have witnessed a star being transformed into an object that spins at almost 600 times a second using telescopes in the USA and the Netherlands, and CSIRO's Parkes telescope in Australia. view more (2009-05-22)
General relativity survives gruelling pulsar test — Einstein at least 99.95 percent right
An international research team led by Prof. Michael Kramer of the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory, UK, has used three years of observations of the "double pulsar", a unique pair of natural stellar clocks which they discovered in 2003, to prove that Einstein's theory of general relativity-the theory of gravity that... view more...
