Scientists meet to discuss health implications of nanoparticles
The possible health implications of nanoparticles will be discussed at a major academic conference, Nanotox 2004, taking place at the Daresbury Laboratories in Cheshire, UK, next week on Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th January. Nanotox 2004 is organised jointly by the Royal Microscopical Society and the Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group... view more... (2004-01-07)
Physicists size up the 'unitarity triangle'
B factory experiments at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the USA and at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan have reached a new milestone in the quest to understand the matter-antimatter imbalance in our universe. view more (2006-06-26)
Neutrinos galore - an old problem, a new challenge - The Physics Congress 2002
Neutrinos - probably the most baffling forms of known matter in the Universe - are setting new challenges for physicists, just as one long-running mystery seems close to being resolved. On Wednesday 10 April, John Bahcall from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, USA, will tell the Institute of Physics Congress in Brighton how we are at... view more... (2002-04-02)
Quatratran - Helping to make The World a safer place
Since the development of superconducting electronic devices there has been a need to develop a three terminal transistor like device sensitive enough to measure small voltage and current signals typical of those associated with single electron and photon events. A group of researchers in the Department of Particle & Nuclear Physics at Oxford... view more... (2004-02-19)

Newly detected air pollutant mimics damaging effects of cigarette smoke
A previously unrecognized group of air pollutants could have effects remarkably similar to harmful substances found in tobacco smoke, Louisiana scientists are reporting in a study scheduled for presentation today at the 236th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society. view more (2008-08-18)
Scientists to track impact of Asian dust and pollution on clouds, climate change
Scientists using one of the nation's newest and most capable research aircraft are launching a far-reaching field project this month to study plumes of airborne dust and pollutants that originate in Asia and journey to North America. view more (2007-04-19)
Commercial ships spew half as much particulate pollution as world's cars
Globally, commercial ships emit almost half as much particulate pollution into the air as the total amount released by cars, according to a new study. Ship pollutants affect both the Earth's climate and the health of people living along coastlines. view more (2009-02-27)
From Sheffield to Singapore, international Grid battles malaria
Malaria kills more than one million people each year, most of them young children living in Africa. Now physicists in the UK have shared their computers with biologists from countries including France and Korea in an effort to combat the disease. view more (2007-02-01)
Astronomers find first ever gamma ray clock
Astronomers using the H.E.S.S. telescopes have discovered the first ever modulated signal from space in Very High Energy Gamma Rays - the most energetic such signal ever observed. view more (2006-11-28)
Invisible gases form most organic haze in urban, rural areas
A new study involving the University of Colorado at Boulder shows that invisible, reactive gases hovering over Earth's surface, not direct emissions of particulates, form the bulk of organic haze in both urban and rural areas around the world. view more (2007-07-10)
UNC study: shape, not just size, impacts effectiveness of emerging nanomedicine therapies
In the budding field of nanotechnology, scientists already know that size does matter. But now, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have shown that shape matters even more - a finding that could lead to new and more effective methods for treating cancer and other diseases, from diabetes and multiple sclerosis to... view more...

STFC Daresbury Laboratory's ALICE accelerates to 4 million volt milestone
A major milestone has been achieved in the completion of the UK's next-generation particle accelerator, ALICE, which is set to produce an intense beam of light that will revolutionise the way in which accelerator based light source research facilities will be designed in the future. view more (2008-11-18)
K-State's fast laser research and theory building on Einsten's work by timing electrons emissions
Ultrafast laser research at Kansas State University has allowed physicists to build on Nobel Prize-winning work in photo-electronics by none other than Albert Einstein. view more (2009-05-22)
Using HEPA filters may improve cardiovascular health
One day doctors may recommend using high efficiency particle air (HEPA) filters along with weight loss, smoking cessation, and exercise to improve cardiovascular health, according to researchers in Denmark. view more (2008-02-15)
Record-breaking luminosity boosts discovery potential at Fermilab's Tevatron collider
The record-breaking performance of the Tevatron collider at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is pushing the search for dark matter, supersymmetric particles and extra dimensions to new limits. view more (2006-03-07)
More Diesel - More Allergy
An increasing number of new auto buyers choose diesel engines. For asthmatics and those with allergies this is very unfortunate. Particles in diesel exhaust can both worsen and trigger allergic reactions. view more (2004-04-30)

UCR physicist demonstrates how light can be used to remotely operate micromachines
A research team led by Umar Mohideen, a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, has demonstrated in the laboratory that the Casimir force - the small attractive force that acts between two close parallel uncharged conducting plates - can be changed using a beam of light, making the remote operation of micromachines a possibility. view more (2007-06-01)
