Last large piece of ATLAS detector lowered underground
Today, researchers in the U.S. ATLAS collaboration joined colleagues around the world to celebrate a pivotal landmark in the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - the lowering of the final piece of the ATLAS particle detector into the underground collision hall at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. view more (2008-03-03)
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)
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)
UCSB researchers discover shape matters to macrophages
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have made a surprising discovery: phagocytosis depends more on particle shape than size. view more (2006-03-22)
Discovery Prospects at the Large Hadron Collider
Will scientists ever find the elusive Higgs particle, the last of the fundamental particles predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and postulated to play a major role in how fundamental particles get their masses? view more (2006-04-25)
The first results of Finuda will be announced on January 30th: a new window for the study of exotic atomic nuclei.
On Friday the 30th, during the XLII international winter meeting on nuclear physics at Bormio, the first results will be announced of Finuda experiment (Nuclear Physics at Daphne), settled in Frascati at Infn National Laboratories. Planned and made operating by a group of about forty physicists from Universities and Infn Sites of Bari, Brescia,... view more... (2004-01-29)
Impetus for TESLA
"DESY welcomes the rapid and trend-setting statement of the Federal Government on the large-scale research facilities and sees it as a tremendous chance for TESLA," said the Chairman of the DESY Directorate, Professor Albrecht Wagner in a first reaction. "The possibility to realize the TESLA X-ray laser as a European project at DESY opens up... view more... (2003-02-05)
FSU physicist shining a light on mysterious 'dark matter'
We've all been taught that our bodies, the Earth, and in fact all matter in the universe is composed of tiny building blocks called atoms. Now imagine if this weren't the case. view more (2007-10-03)
A-level physics for the twenty-first century
Advancing Physics is a completely new approach to A-level physics, produced by the Institute of Physics. It brings physics teaching firmly into the twenty-first century using relevant and up-to-date examples of physics from everyday life. As well as pupil and teacher text books , the course is supported by a CD-Rom containing a huge amount of... view more... (1999-12-09)
Tracing ultra-fine dust
Fine particle emissions have been the subject of heated debate for years. People who live near industrial plants see the smoke being discharged into the atmosphere and wonder how harmful it is. view more (2009-10-06)
Exploring the standard model of physics without the high-energy collider
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US, have performed sophisticated laser measurements to detect the subtle effects of one of nature's most elusive forces - the "weak interaction". view more (2009-08-11)
UCR-led research team detects 'top quark,' a basic constituent of matter
A group of 50 international physicists, led by UC Riverside's Ann Heinson, has detected for the first time a subatomic particle, the top quark, produced without the simultaneous production of its antimatter partner - an extremely rare event. view more (2006-12-14)
X-ray Laser Cooperation within the scope of the TESLA-Project, DESY and SLAC signed agreement in Washington
With the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding on November 1, in Washington, both major accelerator centers-DESY (the German Electron Synchrotron) in Hamburg, Germany, and SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) in California, USA-set the seal on their intention to start a close collaboration in X-ray laser research and to make joint... view more...

Big magnet ready to face the big questions of the universe
The largest superconducting magnet ever built has successfully been powered up to its operating conditions at the first attempt. Called the Barrel Toroid because of its shape, this magnet is a vital part of ATLAS, one of the major particle detectors being prepared to take data at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the new particle accelerator... view more...

LDL particle measurement by NMR recognized by ADA, ACC
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) issued a consensus statement today that states the measurement of LDL particle number by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is one of the more accurate ways to evaluate cardiometabolic risk (CMR). view more (2008-03-31)
Research excellence for UK physics
The Institute of Physics is delighted that the international strength of physics in the UK is recognised in the results of the assessment of UK universities` research published today (14 December) by the Higher Education Funding Council. Dr Alun Jones, chief executive of the Institute said, "It is gratifying that the success of physics throughout... view more... (2001-12-13)
Research team co-led by UC Riverside physicist observes production of single-top-quarks
A group of 28 scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, co-led by UC Riverside's Ann Heinson, has made the first observation of the production of single top quarks - an observation that resulted from proton-antiproton collisions measured by the DZero detector in Fermilab's Tevatron, the world's... view more...

Protecting wine grapes from heat and drought
Deficit irrigation is an agricultural technique used to achieve a variety of results depending on the crop. For white wine grapes, it balances the crop load by limiting the canopy size so there aren't too many leaves shading the grapes. view more (2009-02-18)
Tiny crystals promise big benefits for solar technologies
Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists have discovered that a phenomenon called carrier multiplication, in which semiconductor nanocrystals respond to photons by producing multiple electrons, is applicable to a broader array of materials that previously thought. view more (2006-01-05)
Public awareness of physics awards announced
Eight inspiring physicists have been chosen by the Institute of Physics to receive Public Awareness of Physics awards for their outstanding achievements in raising the awareness of physics. Activities ranging from poetry to the physics of ice-cream lecture-demonstrations have been used by the winners to bring physics to a wider audience. They will... view more... (2000-08-25)
