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)
Big magnet ready to face the big questions of the universe
The largest superconducting magnet ever built has successfully been powered up to its operating conditions at the first attempt. Called the Barrel Toroid because of its shape, this magnet is a vital part of ATLAS, one of the major particle detectors being prepared to take data at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the new particle accelerator... view more...

EU Support for Two Projects Coordinated by DESY
The European Commission selected two projects coordinated by the DESY research center in Hamburg for support within its sixth Framework Programme. Among all the competitors for the much-coveted development funds, the projects "EUROFEL" and "EUROTeV" were ranked first and second, respectively, in the referees' evaluation. From... view more...

Tour takes Physics far and wide
A lecture "Particles and the Universe" aimed at the 16-19 age range, organised by the Institute of Physics, is being given in 40 venues in Britain during the current academic year, in what is the largest schools lecture tour ever staged by the IOP. The lecture is given by Professor Peter Kalmus of Queen Mary and Westfield College. In his talk,... view more... (1999-02-02)
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)
First Black Holes Born Starving
The first black holes in the universe had dramatic effects on their surroundings despite the fact that they were small and grew very slowly, according to recent supercomputer simulations carried out by astrophysicists Marcelo Alvarez and Tom Abel of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, jointly located at the Department of... view more...

Iowa State scientists, students contribute to world's biggest science experiment
The first beam of protons will begin racing around the world's biggest science experiment on Wednesday, Sept. 10, and Iowa State University physicists will be part of the research team taking notes. view more (2008-09-09)
Why matter matters in the universe
A new physics discovery explores why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. view more (2008-03-31)
FSU physicist shining a light on mysterious 'dark matter'
We've all been taught that our bodies, the Earth, and in fact all matter in the universe is composed of tiny building blocks called atoms. Now imagine if this weren't the case. view more (2007-10-03)
Sources of energy for the EFDA-JET nuclear fusion experimental reactor
JEMA, the company based in Lasarte in the Basque Country, has recently put into operation the two energy supply plants designed and manufactured for the European EFDA (the European Fusion Development Agreement)-JET nuclear fusion experimental reactor at Culham in the United Kingdom. This reactor is one of the plants on which ITER, the largest... view more... (2004-02-19)
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)
`Monte Carlo` simulations - the future for effective radiotherapy
Giving a patient the right dose during radiotherapy is essential if you are going to eradicate a tumour without creating excess damage in the surrounding healthy tissue. The Monte Carlo model is a specialised computer program that accurately simulates the passage of every particle that passes through the radiotherapy accelerator and into the... view more...

No sign of the Higgs
Are physicists spending billions on a wild goose chase? THE legendary particle that physicists thought explained why matter has mass, probably doesn`t exist. So say researchers who have spent a year analysing data from the LEP accelerator at the CERN nuclear physics lab near Geneva. The elusive... view more... (2001-12-05)
Tech researchers help find new sub-atomic particle - shollis
Six Louisiana Tech researchers in the physics department played a role in discovering a new sub-atomic particle whose existence was announced this week. view more (2007-06-18)
Louisiana Tech faculty, students making an 'impact' on atomic supercollider
Faculty and students from Louisiana Tech University are playing an important role in what has been described as "the most complex and comprehensive science project ever assembled on the planet." view more (2009-12-03)
Research points to more effective catalyst materials for petrochemical industry
Nickel oxide is a very important chemical in modern industrial processes. It is commonly used as a catalyst within the petrochemical industry in areas like the synthesis of olefin gas and the reforming reaction of methane. view more (2006-05-12)
Where has all the antimatter gone?
Scientists from the Universities of Liverpool and Glasgow have completed work on the inner heart of an experiment which seeks to find out what has happened to all the antimatter created at the start of the Universe. view more (2007-04-12)
European Masterclasses on Physics: research centres opened for 3000 high school students
On occasion of the World Year Physics, the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics is participating from March 7th to 19th in the Physics European Masterclasses. An Epog (European Particle-Physics Outreach Group) initiative that opens high school students the doors of the fascinating world of particle physics. view more (2005-03-04)
LHC completes the circle
At a brief ceremony deep under the French countryside today, CERN Director General Robert Aymar sealed the last interconnect between the main magnet systems in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This is the latest milestone in commissioning the LHC, the world's most powerful particle accelerator. view more (2007-11-08)
Iowa State physicist leads team designing detector for international particle collider
John Hauptman stood before an international gathering of particle physicists and announced he had another idea. One that was different. One that was simpler. And best of all, one that he was sure would work. view more (2007-04-16)
