CU-Boulder study suggests air quality regulations miss key pollutants
A new study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder reveals that air quality regulations may not effectively target a large source of fine, organic particle pollutants that contribute to hazy skies and poor air quality over the Los Angeles region. view more (2008-09-25)
Elderly have higher risk for cardiovascular, respiratory disease
New data from a four-year study of 11.5 million Medicare enrollees show that short-term exposure to fine particle air pollution from such sources as motor vehicle exhaust and power plant emissions significantly increases the risk for cardiovascular and respiratory disease among people over 65 years of age. view more (2006-03-08)
Grid Computing Steps up a Gear
UK plans for Grid computing changed gear this week. The pioneering European DataGrid (EDG) project came to a successful conclusion at the end of March, and on 1 April a new project, known as Enabling Grids for E-Science in Europe (EGEE), begins. The UK is a major player in both projects, providing key staff and developing crucial areas of the... view more... (2004-04-01)
Particle Physics And Astronomy Research Council Chief Executive Welcomes Public Expenditure Survey Allocations
The Public Expenditure Survey allocations for PPARC were announced today, Wednesday 15 January 1997. They are: All figures in £ million 1997/98 1998/99 1999/00... view more... (1997-01-15)
New tooth enamel dating technique
The radioactive carbon-14 produced by above-ground nuclear testing in the 1950s and 1960s is providing forensic scientists with a more precise way to determine a person's age at the time of death. view more (2005-09-15)
Capping a two-faced particle gives duke engineers complete control
Scientists drew fittingly from Roman mythology when they named a unique class of miniscule particles after the god Janus, who is usually depicted as having two faces looking in opposite directions. view more (2009-08-12)
New experiment could reveal make-up of the universe
The detectors will become part of the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) experiment, currently based in Italy, which aims to create a 'fingerprint' of the inside of the atomic nucleus to understand the structure of all matter in the Universe, including human beings and the stars. view more (2009-08-06)
LHC switch-on fears are completely unfounded
A new report published on Friday, 5 September, provides the most comprehensive evidence available to confirm that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)'s switch-on, due on Wednesday next week, poses no threat to mankind. Nature's own cosmic rays regularly produce more powerful particle collisions than those planned within the LHC, which will enable... view more... (2008-09-08)
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 Faraday Partnership in Radio Frequency Engineering
Science Minister Lord Sainsbury has announced the funding of a new Faraday Partnership in the important field of High Power Radio Frequency (RF) engineering. With expertise in many areas of RF engineering applications (particularly in accelerator technologies), CLRC (Central Laboratory of the Research Councils), through its Rutherford Appleton... view more...

Smaller isn't always better: Catalyst simulations could lower fuel cell cost
Imagine a car that runs on hydrogen from solar power and produces water instead of carbon emissions. While vehicles like this won't be on the market anytime soon, University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers are making incremental but important strides in the fuel cell technology that could make clean cars a reality. view more (2009-09-18)
Beyond the Large Hadron Collider
A briefing note based on a seminar and discussion held at the Institute of Physics on Thursday 3 October 2002. This seminar is part of a series of evening seminars and discussions that highlight exciting and important new areas of research in physics and their applications. Topics at previous seminars have included Photonics, e-Science, Climate... view more... (2002-11-18)
VERITAS telescopes help solve 100-year-old mystery: The origin of cosmic rays
Nearly 100 years ago, scientists detected the first signs of cosmic rays - subatomic particles (mostly protons) that zip through space at nearly the speed of light. view more (2009-11-03)
NC State Researchers
Researchers at North Carolina State University have used a mathematical model that allows them to get a clearer picture of the galaxy's youngest supernova remnant by correcting for the distortions caused by cosmic dust. view more (2009-04-23)
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)
From Europa to the lab, a new recipe for oxygen on icy moons
A new Pacific Northwest National Laboratory study offers the most detailed picture to date on how oxygen can be made in frigid reaches far from Earth. view more (2006-03-28)
Physicists lead the field in solving matter mystery of the Big Bang
A University of Sussex-led team of scientists is ahead in the race to solve one of the biggest mysteries of our physical world: why the Universe contains matter. With the help of a new £2.3 million grant, the team is working on a project to make one of the most sensitive measurements ever of sub-atomic particles. The results, expected within... view more...

Scientists use world's fastest supercomputer to model origins of the unseen universe
Understanding dark energy is the number one issue in explaining the universe, according to Salman Habib, of the Laboratory's Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology group. view more (2009-10-27)
Michigan integral to world's largest physics experiment
After 20 years of construction, a machine that could either verify or nullify the prevailing theory of particle physics is about to begin its mission. view more (2008-09-08)
