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)
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)
Scientists use world's fastest supercomputer to model origins of the unseen universe

Brown physicists play key role in single top quark discovery
Brown University physicists have played a key role in observing particle collisions that produce a single top quark, one of the fundamental constituents of matter. The discovery was announced Monday by scientists of the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. view more (2009-03-10)
The number of girls taking AS and A Level physics continues to fall
Figures released today (14 August 2003) show that the number of girls taking AS and A Level physics fell again, continuing a general downward trend in physics entries. The Institute of Physics is particularly concerned about the big drop in the number of girls taking AS Level physics - a 9% decrease compared to 2002. This has dire implications for... view more...

Fusing physics with medicine to fight cancer
Everyone's lives are touched by cancer - it is a disease that affects 1 in 3 of us throughout our lifetime. Future developments that lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective therapy lie in further successful collaboration between high energy physicists and the healthcare industry. view more (2005-04-28)
Nobel laureate Burton Richter to speak about future of particle physics
Particle physics is about to transform our thinking once again. Experiments of the last 15 years suggest new forms of matter, new forces of nature and perhaps even new dimensions of space and time. Pinning down the new ideas will require more data from larger and more expensive machines-at a time when funding is more difficult than ever to secure. view more (2007-02-16)
Invitation to the Media - String virtuosos gather in Oxford - 1st International Conference on String Phenomenology
Next week the University of Oxford is hosting a meeting of string experts - not in this case well-known musicians, but internationally renowned scientists. The meeting will bring together physicists who are striving to develop a consistent theory of the nature of matter - in other words, the basic building bricks of ourselves and the Universe we... view more...

Auger Observatory links highest-energy cosmic rays with violent black holes
Scientists of the Pierre Auger Collaboration, which includes New York University Physics Professor Glennys R. Farrar, have concluded that active galactic nuclei are the most likely candidate for the source of the highest-energy cosmic rays that hit Earth. view more (2007-11-09)
Loopy photons clarify 'spookiness' of quantum physics
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Joint Quantum Institute (NIST/University of Maryland) have developed a new method for creating pairs of entangled photons, particles of light whose properties are interlinked in a very unusual way dictated by the rules of quantum physics. view more (2008-03-19)
Physics helps prevent hearing loss in whales
Pattern-recognition techniques developed by particle physicists are now being used to protect the hearing of sea mammals, reports the latest issue of the Institute of Physics' magazine Scientific Computing World.
