Scientists meet to discuss health implications of nanoparticles
The possible health implications of nanoparticles will be discussed at a major academic conference, Nanotox 2004, taking place at the Daresbury Laboratories in Cheshire, UK, next week on Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th January. Nanotox 2004 is organised jointly by the Royal Microscopical Society and the Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group... view more... (2004-01-07)
The physics of muck spreading
Physicists have to tread carefully when it comes to fertiliser, but the first tentative steps to a better understanding of the ancient art of fertilising the soil are described in a paper published today in the Institute of Physics publication, The Journal of Measurement Science and Technology. Frederic Cointault, Philippe Sarrazin and Michel... view more... (2002-06-18)
Quatratran - Helping to make The World a safer place
Since the development of superconducting electronic devices there has been a need to develop a three terminal transistor like device sensitive enough to measure small voltage and current signals typical of those associated with single electron and photon events. A group of researchers in the Department of Particle & Nuclear Physics at Oxford... view more... (2004-02-19)
World`s most powerful laser used as atom smasher - The Physics Congress 2002
Physicists at Glasgow University are using the world`s most powerful laser beam as an atom smasher to simulate conditions inside the Sun and to produce radioisotopes vital in medicine. Professor Ken Ledingham from the Department of Physics at Glasgow and his colleagues from Imperial College and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) are using... view more... (2002-03-26)
Institute of Physics buys Optics.Org
The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) and Institute of Physics today announce the full acquisition of the Joint Venture company Optics.Org Ltd by Institute of Physics Publishing (IoPP). Optics.Org has made great strides under the Joint Venture agreement between SPIE and IoPP signed in 1998, including the launch of the successful... view more... (2000-11-23)
Device controls electron spin at room temperature
In a breakthrough for applied physics, North Carolina State University researchers have developed a magnetic semiconductor memory device, using GaMnN thin films, which utilizes both the charge and spin of electrons at room temperature. view more (2009-04-07)
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)
The Search for the Largest Particle Accelerator of the Universe Can Start
Earth is constantly bombarded with atomic nuclei from the universe. The energy of these particles ranges from very small values up to energies that are a hundred million times higher than those available in our particle accelerators (e.g. at CERN in Geneva or DESY in Hamburg). Actually, such particles should not even arrive on earth as they are... view more... (1999-03-25)
Bath University team win top award for popularising science (11th September 2002)
Flying marshmallows, spaghetti structures and frozen bananas are just some of the methods used by a group of Bath University academics to promote science to the public. The team’s unique approach to making science more accessible has won them a Public Awareness of Physics award from the Institute of Physics. The award-winning project... view more... (2002-09-06)
From paper planes to jet engines
Throwing paper planes in class can be educational! Dr Julia King, Chief Executive of the Institute of Physics, used paper planes to explain the physics of flight to teachers at the Association for Science Education (ASE) meeting in Reading today (Friday 9 January 2004). She tackled the tricky subject of explaining what causes 'lift' in a wing, and... view more... (2004-01-09)

Government should focus on "talent and infrastructure" says Institute of Physics
The Institute of Physics welcomes the Government's clear recognition of the importance of science to the nation in the 2004 Budget, and its pledge for increased investment in future years. This commitment is especially important to the Institute as physics spans a broad range of science from blue skies research to a many technological... view more... (2004-03-17)
Discovery of Giant X-ray Loop Hints at Cosmic Particle Accelerator
Astronomers have found a vast loop-like structure, 20 light years across, adjacent to the most massive star-forming region known in our galaxy. The loop, which was observed in X-ray wavelengths, is 15 times the size of the Arches Cluster, a star-forming region close to the centre of the Milky Way. This is the first time that such a distinctive and... view more... (2005-03-31)
Physics World Digest: March 2002 edition
Special issue: women in physics When the astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell was a physics student at Glasgow in the 1960s, she was greeted by a barrage of wolf whistles and foot stamping every time she walked into the lecture theatre. Bell Burnell was, quite simply, the only woman in a class of 50 students. Although it is a tale that few young female... view more... (2002-03-01)
