First demonstration of new laser-driven accelerator technology
A team of UK scientists has used, for the first time, an extremely short-pulse laser to accelerate high-energy electrons over an incredibly short distance. Current accelerators can be hundreds of metres long, this is just a millimetre long. view more (2004-09-28)
Powering the UK Knowledge-based economy
Important changes to the way UK research and training into particle physics and astronomy are supported were announced by the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council today (Wednesday 16 December 1998). view more (1998-12-16)
Clash of clusters provides new dark matter clue
A powerful collision between galaxy clusters has been captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This clash of clusters provides striking evidence for dark matter and insight into its properties. view more (2008-08-28)
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)
Tony Blair opens new centre for physics research
The Prime Minister Tony Blair opened The Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics at the University of Durham today [Friday 18th October 2002]. The multi-million pound science complex will create a world-leading centre of excellence in fundamental physics, combining research into the building blocks of the universe and the large scale structure of the... view more...

Proofreading and error-correction in nanomaterials inspired by nature
Mimicking nature, a procedure developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign can find and correct defects in self-assembled nanomaterials. view more (2005-10-19)
Air pollution, high-fat diet cause atherosclerosis in laboratory mice
Test results with laboratory mice show a direct cause-and-effect link between exposure to fine particle air pollution and the development of atherosclerosis, commonly known as hardening of the arteries. view more (2005-12-23)
Integrated optical trap holds particles for on-chip analysis
A new type of optical particle trap can be used to manipulate bacteria, viruses and other particles on a chip as part of an integrated optofluidic platform. view more (2009-07-06)
Press Invitation: Mysteries of the universe could be answered in the UK
The UK could lead the way in particle physics research if plans go ahead to site a facility in the UK that will help unravel some of the mysteries of the Big Bang. view more (2002-06-27)
Einstein's relativity survives neutrino test
Physicists working to disprove "Lorentz invariance" -- Einstein's prediction that matter and massless particles will behave the same no matter how they're turned or how fast they go -- won't get that satisfaction from muon neutrinos, at least for the time being, says a consortium of scientists. view more (2008-10-16)
A new particle discovered by BaBar experiment
Its name is Y(4260) and it is not a new humanoid of Stars Wars, but a particle identified for the first time by BaBar experiment: an international collaboration-formed by the large participation of the Italian physicists of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (Infn)-that has its seat in Stanford (California). Y(4260) represents an... view more... (2005-07-07)
Long-standing neutrino question resolved
An announcement by scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermilab today significantly clarifies the overall picture of how neutrinos behave. view more (2007-04-12)
Star light, star bright: FSU facility duplicating conditions of supernovas
How is matter created? What happens when stars die? Is the universe shrinking, or is it expanding? For decades, scientists have been looking for answers to such "big picture" questions. view more (2007-08-15)
Satellite reveals surprising cosmic 'weather' at edge of solar system
The first solar system energetic particle maps show an unexpected landmark occurring at the outer edge of the solar wind bubble surrounding the solar system. view more (2009-10-19)
Swarm approach to photography
A new approach to cleaning up digital photos and other images has been developed by researchers in the UK and Jordan. The research, published recently in Inderscience's International Journal of Innovative Computing and Applications uses a computer algorithm known as a PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) to intelligently boost contrast and detail in... view more...

Possible Origin of Cosmic Rays Revealed with Gamma Rays
An international team of astronomers (including the UK) has produced the first ever image of an astronomical object using high energy gamma rays, helping to solve a 100 year old mystery - an origin of cosmic rays. Their research, published in the Journal Nature on November 4th, was carried out using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.),... view more... (2004-11-02)
The Tiny Difference that Created the Universe
Roughly 15 billion years ago, during the Big Bang, equal amounts of matter and anti-matter should have been created, with an anti-particle for every particle created. Yet when matter and anti-matter meet, they both disappear in a flash of light, so why didn't they annihilate each other completely? For some reason, during the first moments of the... view more...

UK Companies encouraged to "Go for the Grid"
UK companies are this week (5th and 6th September) given encouragement to build long term relations with CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics) with a view to winning contracts, especially related to the GRID. Mr Basil Eastwood, Her Majesty`s Ambassador to Switzerland, and Professor Ian Halliday, Chief Executive of the Particle... view more... (2002-09-02)
Supernova radiation simulated in Virtual Reality
To astrophysicists, the energy-charged x-ray radiation on the fringes of a supernova explosion has long been enigmatic. It hasn't been possible to explain how the electrons are able to accelerate to nearly the speed of light. Now scientists in England and in Linköping, Sweden, have hit upon a possible explanation by combining supercomputer... view more... (2001-12-20)
