Argonne scientists discover new class of glassy material
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out.   view more (2008-07-29)

Solitons Seen in a Solid
Isolated vibrations within a three-dimensional solid have been observed for the first time by researchers in the U.S. and Germany. The work could help explain how metals such as uranium behave when bent, compressed or heated.   view more (2006-04-07)

New analysis of pottery stirs Olmec trade controversy
Clearing - or perhaps roiling - the murky and often contentious waters of Mesoamerican archeology, a study of 3,000-year-old pottery provides new evidence that the Olmec may not have been the mother culture after all.   view more (2005-08-02)

An international team including scientists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) today publishes findings in the journal 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' (PNAS) demonstrating the dramatic effects of quantum mechanics in a simple magnet.   view more (2007-09-24)

Detecting the Traces of Mystery Matter
Using high-speed collisions between gold atoms, scientists think they have re-created one of the most mysterious forms of matter in the universe - quark-gluon plasma.   view more (2005-08-01)

Ultracold atoms produce long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny speck of matter has something called "spin" - an intrinsic trait like eye color.   view more (2006-03-15)

New Method for Measuring Residual Stress Developed at Oxford
An inventor in Oxford University’s Department of Engineering Science has developed a new portable instrument for the measurement of residual stress in engineering components and structures.   view more (2002-11-13)

Astronomers discover new kind of black-hole explosion
Scientists have discovered what appears to be a new kind of cosmic explosion - a "hybrid gamma-ray burst" - which will be the subject of four articles to be published in the journal Nature on 21 December 2006.   view more (2006-12-21)

Nuclear reactor as a cancer cure
Despite the millions of dollars that have been invested into research to improve methods of treatments for various types of cancer, oncological diseases continue to have a high mortality rate, remaining one of the main causes of death globally. Traditional cancer treatment methods, such as... view more (2005-03-03)

Ultracold test produces long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny spec of matter has something called "spin"-an intrinsic trait like eye color-that cannot be changed and which dictates, very specifically, what other bits of matter the spec can share quantum space with.   view more (2005-12-23)

Ethylene suggested for hydrogen storage
Ethylene, a ho-hum material that is the building block of the most common plastic, might have an exciting future in storing hydrogen, the hoped-for transportation fuel of the future.   view more (2006-12-11)

CCLRC to play pivotal role in e-science
CCLRC (Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils) welcomes the government's announcement today that offers extra funding for e-science. The extra £5 million over three years awarded to CCLRC will enable it to drive the development of e-science as a key technology for the... view more (2000-11-22)

Swedish Government appoints former minister of finance as special negotiator for locating the European Spallation Source research centre in Sweden
The Swedish government has appointed Allan Larsson, former minister of finance and director general at the EU-Commission, as special negotiator for Sweden to assess the possibilities to locate a European research centre, the European Spallation Source (ESS), in Sweden. In the terms of reference for... view more (2004-07-19)

New forum reinforces plans for neutron source in Scania
An important step has been taken on the way to building the world's most powerful neutron source-ESS-European Spallation Source-in Scania, the southern Swedish province. To strengthen international contacts, not least with the business community, a collaborative group has been established,... view more (2005-02-03)

The dance of crystal structures
The word "crystal" is a technical term; iron and steel, for example, are crystals whereas glass is not. In fact, "crystal" means materials of a crystalline structure.   view more (2004-11-10)

European research infrastructures: a means to boost knowledge and fuel growth
Advances in material science - which studies the structure, properties and performance of the materials all around us - are crucial to Europe's leadership in the global knowledge economy. Understanding and controlling changes in the structure of materials at the microscopic nano-scale,... view more (2005-03-03)

NASA sees orbiting stars flooding space with gravitational waves
A scientist using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has found evidence that two white dwarf stars are orbiting each other in a death grip, destined to merge.   view more (2005-05-30)

Leading European Research Organisations Join Forces in EIROFORUM
ESA Press Release 31-2001 Since the early 1950s, a number of powerful research infrastructures and laboratories which are used by an extensive network of scientists have been developed and deployed within Europe by European Intergovernmental Research Organisations (EIRO). Together, they represent... view more (2001-05-23)

Physicists lead the field in solving matter mystery of the Big Bang
A University of Sussex-led team of scientists is ahead in the race to solve one of the biggest mysteries of our physical world: why the Universe contains matter.

The Last Cry Of Matter
'Black holes' are truly black. When an object gets within a certain distance from a black hole, it will get swallowed forever with no chance to escape. That includes light, which means that black holes do not shine. How do astronomers detect black holes if they are unable to see them? Well, to be... view more (2003-11-27)
