Integral - tracking extreme radiation across the Universe INFO 8-2002. Integral is the International Gamma Ray Astrophysics Laboratory of the European Space Agency. It is a cooperative mission with Russia and is scheduled for launch on 17 October 2002 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, on a Russian Proton rocket, the Russian contribution to the... view more (2002-10-02)
Nano-cages 'fill up' with hydrogen A "cagey" strategy to stack more hydrogen in nanoscale scaffoldings made of zinc-based boxes may yield a viable approach to storing hydrogen and, ultimately, replacing fossil fuels in future automobiles, according to new results from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)... view more (2005-12-02)
Physics provides new insights on cataract formation Using the tools and techniques of soft condensed matter physics, a research team in Switzerland has demonstrated that a finely tuned balance of attractions between proteins keeps the lens of the eye transparent, and that even a small change in this balance can cause proteins to aggregate and de-mix. view more (2007-11-12)
New understanding for superconductivity at high temperatures An international research team has discovered that a magnetic field can interact with the electrons in a superconductor in ways never before observed. view more (2008-01-14)
Scientists find the reason behind black holes' light shows A team of astronomers led by the University of Michigan may know how black holes are lighting up the Universe. view more (2006-06-22)
Researchers at University of Kent investigate glass as a healing material The University of Kent is collaborating with research teams from the University of Warwick, Imperial College London and University College London (UCL) to develop novel forms of degradable glass for a variety of medical applications, including new bone growth. view more (2005-03-22)
NIST chemists get scoop on crude 'oil' from pig manure After a close examination of crude oil made from pig manure, chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are certain about a number of things. Most obviously, "This stuff smells worse than manure," says NIST chemist Tom Bruno. view more (2008-06-13)
Research Fortnight 1 August issue - medical data, technology transfer and e-science stories Lords plan for medical data regulator rejected The government has rejected a call for a Medical Data Panel to be established to oversee the use of genetic data from the National Health Service and medical research. The panel proposal was rejected last week on the grounds that its powers would be... view more (2001-08-01)
Nuclear physicists examine oxygen's limits Physicists at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University have made a unique measurement of an exotic oxygen nucleus, leading scientists one step closer to deciphering the behavior of the element at its limits of existence. view more (2007-09-14)
UCSB professor's paper on safety of large hadron collider to be published in Physical Review D Particle colliders creating black holes that could devour the Earth. Sounds like a great Hollywood script. view more (2008-06-30)
UC Santa Cruz physicists eagerly await launch of NASA space telescope they helped build When NASA launches its newest space observatory, physicists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, will be watching as the product of nearly 16 years of hard work blasts into orbit. view more (2008-05-30)
New iron-based and copper-oxide high-temperature In the initial studies of a new class of high-temperature superconductors discovered earlier this year, research at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has revealed that new iron-based superconductors share similar unusual magnetic properties with... view more (2008-05-29)
LLNL researchers create tool to monitor nuclear reactors International inspectors may have a new tool in the form of an antineutrino detector, that could help them peer inside a working nuclear reactor. view more (2008-03-13)
Robotic telescope unravels mystery of cosmic blasts Scientists have used the world's largest robotic telescope to make the earliest-ever measurement of the optical polarisation* of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) just 203 seconds after the start of the cosmic explosion. This finding, which provides new insight into GRB physics, is published in Science today... view more (2007-03-19)
The Double Firing Burst Astronomers from around the world combined data from ground- and space-based telescopes to paint a detailed portrait of the brightest explosion ever seen. The observations reveal that the jets of the gamma-ray burst called GRB 080319B were aimed almost directly at the Earth. view more (2008-09-11)
Gamma-ray birth cries suggest massive magnetic engines Several times a week, astronomers detect the violent death cry of a massive star — an extraordinarily energetic release of gamma rays that takes place in just a matter of seconds to minutes, called a gamma-ray burst (GRB). view more (2007-03-09)
Scientists observe solitary vibrations in uranium Los Alamos scientists, working with collaborators from around the world, recently observed experimental evidence of solitary vibrations (solitons) in a solid. view more (2006-03-31)
SU Professor Works With International Researchers to Make Quantum Physics Discovery John F. DiTusa, professor of physics and astronomy at LSU, and his international colleagues have discovered an unusual magnetic material that behaves very differently from the average refrigerator magnet. view more (2007-07-30)
Measurement of stellar age from uranium decay For the first time, an international team (led by Roger Cayrel, from Paris Observatory), could measure one uranium line in absorption in a star. This observation has several important implications. It is a great discovery, obtained thanks to the high resolution spectrograph UVES, assembled on one... view more (2001-02-05)
Scientists Find Giant Ring Encircling Exotic Dead Star One of the most powerful eruptions in the universe might have spun an infrared ring around a rare and exotic star known as a magnetar, a highly magnetized neutron star and the remnant of a brilliant supernova explosion signaling the death throes of a massive star. view more (2008-05-29)
K-State professor assists in war on terror with bomb detection research The Marines are looking for a few good men ... to assist them in their efforts in the war on terrorism. A Kansas State University professor is one of those men. view more (2005-07-28)
