Argonne scientists develop way to predict properties of light nuclei
Scientists have spent 70 years trying to predict the properties of nuclei, but have had to settle for approximate models because computational techniques were not equal to the task.   view more (2008-05-22)

LSU scientist finds evidence of 'rain-making' bacteria
Brent Christner, LSU professor of biological sciences, in partnership with colleagues in Montana and France, recently found evidence that rain-making bacteria are widely distributed in the atmosphere.   view more (2008-02-29)

How red blood cells nuke their nuclei
Unlike the rest of the cells in your body, your red blood cells lack nuclei. That quirk dates back to the time when mammals began to evolve. Other vertebrates such as fish, reptiles, and birds, have red cells that contain nuclei that are inactive. Losing the nucleus enables the red blood cell to... view more (2008-02-11)

Nature at the femto-scale - a new booklet from FINUPHY
A non-expert's guide to European research into the nucleus and its applications To explain the exciting programme of European nuclear research, FINUPHY (Frontiers in Nuclear Physics) has produced a booklet which presents the science and applications at a non-expert level. Scientists already... view more (2004-05-27)

Hi ho silver! FSU physicist helps discover an atomic oddity
Working with an international team of scientists, a Florida State University physics professor has taken part in an experiment that resulted in the creation of a silver atom with exotic properties never before observed.   view more (2006-01-30)

Basic research into Parkinson's
Parkinson's disease was first described in 1817 by the London physician James Parkinson. A great amount of research has been carried out since that time but the fundamental causes of the disease remain unresolved. Some time ago now researchers found that a neurotransmitter, dopamine, played a key... view more (2004-05-07)

Carnegie Mellon researchers discover new cell properties
Carnegie Mellon University researchers Kris Noel Dahl and Mohammad F. Islam have made a new breakthrough for children suffering from an extremely rare disease that accelerates the aging process by about seven times the normal rate.   view more (2006-06-29)

Lise Meitner Prize 2002 Of The European Physical Society
Berlin, May 2002 The European Physical Society announces that the Lise Meitner Prize 2002 is awarded to Prof. James Philip Elliott, University of Sussex (UK) Prof. Francesco Iachello, University of Yale (USA) For their innovative applications of group theoretical methods to the understanding of... view more (2002-08-19)

FSU physicist takes a trip to nuclear 'island of inversion'
Far from the everyday world occupied by such common elements such as gold and lead lies a little-understood realm inhabited by radioactive, or unstable, elements.   view more (2007-08-10)

Direct photon properties reveal secrets of extreme nuclear states
When atomic nuclei are smashed together at great speed, resulting temperatures exceed one trillion degrees, 200 million times hotter than the surface of the sun.   view more (2006-04-26)

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)

Tycho's Remnant Provides Shocking Evidence for Cosmic Rays
Astronomers have found compelling evidence that a supernova shock wave has produced a large amount of cosmic rays, particles of mysterious origin that constantly bombard the Earth.   view more (2005-09-23)

Survey reveals British public don't know the difference between quarks and DNA - do you?
A survey commissioned by the Institute of Physics (IoP) has found that a staggering 98 percent of UK adults don't know what the world around us is made of. Just under two percent of those asked gave the right answer, quarks, the basic building blocks of all matter in the universe. The survey asked... view more (2004-03-30)

Stressed seaweed contributes to cloudy coastal skies, study suggests
Scientists at The University of Manchester have helped to identify that the presence of large amounts of seaweed in coastal areas can influence the climate.   view more (2008-05-07)

NMR researchers unlock hydrogen's secrets to spot polymorphism in pharmaceuticals
Researchers at the University of Warwick and Astra Zeneca have found a new way to use solid-state NMR equipment to crack the secrets of hydrogen atoms and thus spot unwanted polymorphs in pharmaceuticals.   view more (2007-10-18)

X-Rays Examine Colliding Galaxies
Galaxies were once thought of as `island universes` evolving slowly in complete isolation. This is now known not to be the case. By using the world`s most powerful X-ray observatories, UK astronomers are discovering that most of these gigantic star systems interact with each other in a wide variety... view more (2002-04-07)

High-energy particles from violent black holes travel to Earth
Ultra-high-energy particles from just outside enormous, active black holes in nearby galaxies travel as far as 250 million light years to make it all the way to Earth, an international team of 400 physicists and astronomers from 17 countries reports in the Nov. 9 issue of the journal Science.   view more (2007-11-12)

New hope for landmine detection
The first steps in a new method of detecting landmines by determining the presence of tiny quantities of the explosive TNT (trinitrotoluene) are described in research published today in the Institute of Physics publication Journal of Physics D. Markus Nolte, Alexei Privalov and Franz Fujara of... view more (2002-04-15)

New tool to measure speeding nuclei is a fast-beam first
An international collaboration at the Michigan State University National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) has demonstrated a new technique for studying particles traveling at one-third the speed of light.   view more (2007-07-19)

Radiotherapy advance points way to noninvasive brain cancer treatment
With an equal rate of incidence and mortality-the number of those who get it, and the number of those who die from it-Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is a brain cancer death sentence.   view more (2006-01-03)

The Universe, seen under the Gran Sasso mountain, seems to be older than expected
Some nuclear fusion reactions inside stars occur more slowly than we thought and, as a consequence, stars themselves, as well as galaxies and the entire universe are a bit older than expected. This is what comes out from the last results of Luna experiment (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear... view more (2004-05-13)

Scientists discover that protons partner with neutrons more often than with other protons
Fast-moving protons are much more likely to pair up with fast-moving neutrons than with other protons in the nuclei of atoms, according to a recent experiment performed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.   view more (2008-06-19)

Imaging from space protects natural habitats
The method for remote designing of conserved natural territories has been developed by Russian researchers from the Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Faculty of Geography, Moscow State University, supported by WWF. The method was applied to... view more (2003-11-06)

Human Brain Connectivity Mapping
The unique connectivity pattern of a brain region determines the type of information available to it, and hence influences its function. Defining these patterns enhances our knowledge of human brain architecture and function. Non-invasive in vivo definition of brain connectivity patterns... view more (2004-09-23)
