HERA GETS GOING WITH ELECTRONS
The Hadron Electron Ring Accelerator (HERA) at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg is about to begin operations for 1998 with a return to electrons. Since 1993, the machine has been producing head-on collisions between high-energy protons and positrons - the antimatter equivalent of electrons. Now it is ready to get going with electrons again. view more (1998-08-11)
Custom filler material produces excellent paint without common damage to mixing equipment
In order to produce paint of the highest possible quality, the raw materials must be tightly controlled. This includes the mineral fillers that make up to 50% of the paint. Filler materials like calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin and silica largely govern paint properties like UV resistance, weatherability, abrasion resistance and sheen. view more (2006-05-22)
The little beam that could
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Nevada, Reno, Ludwig-Maximilian-University in Germany, and the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics in Germany, have developed a new method for using a laser beam to accelerate ions. view more (2006-02-01)
New particle explains odd behavior in cuprate superconductors
New fundamental particles aren't found only at Fermilab and at other particle accelerators. They also can be found hiding in plain pieces of ceramic, scientists at the University of Illinois report. view more (2007-07-18)
From Physics to Physicians
The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC) and the UK Health Departments have signed a concordat to formally recognise and explore the potential for collaboration in technological areas of common interest.

Research Fortnight 30 January issue: stories on HEFCE RAE funding, cancer research, DfID and particle physics
HEFCE plans cuts for mid-range departments Academics were surprised last week to learn that the Higher Education Funding Council for England has gone back on its decision to fund all departments rated 3 in the recent Research Assessment Exercise. The funding council has also indicated that departments rated 4 and 5 could see their funding slashed... view more... (2002-01-30)
'Double crystal fusion' could pave the way for portable device
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a tabletop accelerator that produces nuclear fusion at room temperature, providing confirmation of an earlier experiment conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), while offering substantial improvements over the original design. view more (2006-02-14)
Quantum ghosts are helpful
The idea that far distant particles can somehow 'talk' to each other worried Einstein so much that he called it 'spooky action at a distance'. view more (2009-04-28)
Chemical engineers discover new way to control particle motion potentially aiding micro- and nano-fluid systems for drug delivery, sensors, more
Chemical engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a new way to control the motion of fluid particles through tiny channels, potentially aiding the development of micro- and nano-scale technologies such as drug delivery devices, chemical and biological sensors, and components for miniaturized biological... view more...

Professor Dr. Rolf-Dieter Heuer Appointed as New Research Director
On its meeting on October 1, 2004, the Administrative Council of the Helmholtz center DESY appointed Professor Dr Rolf-Dieter Heuer as the new research director for high-energy physics. He takes over from Professor Dr Robert Klanner, who decided after his five-year term of office to dedicate himself to teaching and research again. view more (2004-10-04)
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)
Brownian motion under the microscope
An international group of researchers from the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), the University of Texas at Austin and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany have demonstrated that Brownian motion of a single particle behaves differently than Einstein postulated one century ago. view more (2005-10-12)
