Physics helps prevent hearing loss in whales
Pattern-recognition techniques developed by particle physicists are now being used to protect the hearing of sea mammals, reports the latest issue of the Institute of Physics' magazine Scientific Computing World. When oil companies survey sea areas for oil they send seismic pulses towards the seabed. These pulses are at volumes that are... view more... (1999-02-26)

Positive statement of the German Science Council about the International Accelerator Project TESLA
On Monday, July 15 2002, at 11 a.m., the German Science Council, installed by the German government, published its evaluation statement about large scale facilities for basic research in the natural sciences. It assessed the TESLA project planned by the research center DESY in cooperation with international partners to be worth of support under... view more... (2002-07-15)

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have theorized a way to increase the speed of pulses of light that bound across chains of tiny metal particles to well past the speed of light by altering the particle shape.   view more (2008-08-20)

Particle physics study finds new data for extra Z-bosons and potential fifth force of nature
The Large Hadron Collider is an enormous particle accelerator whose 17-mile tunnel straddles the borders of France and Switzerland. A group of physicists at the University of Nevada, Reno has analyzed data from the accelerator that could ultimately prove or disprove the possibility of a fifth force of nature.   view more (2009-04-28)

NASA Supercomputer Shows How Dust Rings Point to Exo-Earths
Supercomputer simulations of dusty disks around sunlike stars show that planets nearly as small as Mars can create patterns that future telescopes may be able to detect. The research points to a new avenue in the search for habitable planets.   view more (2008-10-13)

When a good nanoparticle goes bad
Researchers at Cornell University recently made a major breakthrough when they invented a method to test and demonstrate a long-held hypothesis that some very, very small metal particles work much better than others in various chemical processes such as converting chemical energy to electricity in fuel cells or reducing automobile pollution.   view more (2008-11-11)

The Mechanisms of Atmospheric Nucleation
Aerosol particles are ubiquitous in Earth's atmosphere, influencing the quality of life through their climatic and health effects and by affecting visibility. In recent years, the formation and growth of nanometer-scale particles have been observed in situ in many different atmospheric environments, including urban plumes, clean arctic air, the... view more...

Racing Ahead at the Speed of Light
Imagine trying to catch up to something moving close to the speed of light - the fastest anything can move - and sending ahead information in time to make mid-path flight corrections. Impossible? Not quite.   view more (2008-02-07)

Chang'e-1 - new mission to Moon lifts off
A bold new mission to the Moon was launched today by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA). Chang'e-1 blasted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, Sichuan, atop a Long March 3A rocket.   view more (2007-10-25)

New theory sheds light on space enigma
An enormous plume of dust and water spurts violently into space from the south pole of Enceladus, Saturn's sixth-largest moon. This raging eruption has intrigued scientists ever since the Cassini spacecraft provided dramatic images of the phenomenon.   view more (2008-02-25)
