A level results spell success for physics
In 2002 the number of students sitting physics A and AS levels has gone up, from 63,955 in 2001 to 70,539 in 2002. This increase, the first in ten years, bodes well for the Institute of Physics’ new syllabus, Advancing Physics, which is being examined at A level for the first time. The Institute’s completely revised syllabus has... view more... (2002-08-16)
On October 10th at the Canaries the Magic telescope will be inaugurated: the biggest in the world for the study of gamma radiation
On October 10th the Magic Telescope (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope) will be inaugurated. The telescope is located La Palma island, 2200 meters above the sea level at the Observatory Roque de los Muchachos, of the Itituto Astrofisico de Canarias. With his 17-meter-diameter-mirror and 240 square meters surface, it's the largest... view more... (2003-10-06)
Particle physics study finds new data for extra Z-bosons and potential fifth force of nature
The Large Hadron Collider is an enormous particle accelerator whose 17-mile tunnel straddles the borders of France and Switzerland. A group of physicists at the University of Nevada, Reno has analyzed data from the accelerator that could ultimately prove or disprove the possibility of a fifth force of nature. view more (2009-04-28)
No sign of the Higgs
Are physicists spending billions on a wild goose chase? THE legendary particle that physicists thought explained why matter has mass, probably doesn`t exist. So say researchers who have spent a year analysing data from the LEP accelerator at the CERN nuclear physics lab near Geneva. The elusive... view more... (2001-12-05)
Spallation Neutron Source sends first neutrons to 'Big Bang' beam line
New analytical tools coming on line at the Spallation Neutron Source, the Department of Energy's state-of-the-art neutron science facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, include a beam line dedicated to nuclear physics studies. view more (2008-10-10)

CERN's Director General, Dr Robert Aymar, today (June 2nd) formally recognized the UK's exceptional contribution to developing the next generation of computing by presenting awards for outstanding achievement to two British researchers who have been at the forefront of Grid computing at CERN. Dr Aymar also took the opportunity to praise the UK's... view more... (2004-06-02)
Physicists: After 30 years of study, rare particle confirms prediction
High-energy physicists devoted to recreating the conditions at the beginning of the universe have for the first time observed a new way to produce those basic particles of atoms, protons and neutrons. view more (2008-03-11)
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...

Worldwide Consensus of Particle Physicists: Superconductivity for Future Particle Accelerator Project ILC
Today, the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced at a scientific conference in Beijing that the planned International Linear Collider (ILC) is to be realized in superconducting technology. This decision is of great importance for DESY and its international partners, since they developed this technology together and... view more... (2004-08-20)
Institute of Physics welcomes Government's new approach regarding women and technology
The Institute of Physics welcomes in principle the new approach from the Government to increase funds for women in science and technology - but recommends other forms of action also need to be taken. Dr Wendy Kneissl, leader of the Institute of Physics' Women In Physics programme, said the Government's new integrated initiative to tackle the... view more... (2003-04-30)
Measure the speed of light using Milky Way Stars®
Nothing travels faster than light - it only takes 8 minutes for it to reach the Earth from the nearest star, the Sun, which is 150 million kilometres away. Now anyone can measure this speed - with chocolate stars and a microwave oven! The experiment is described on a new Institute of Physics web resource for teachers about fun physics... view more...

The Shifty Nature of Grains
In separate papers appearing in this week's Nature, researchers announce findings regarding the little-understood world of granular materials, systems of particles that can dictate the flow of avalanches, the quality of concrete and even the mixing of pharmaceuticals. view more (2005-06-24)
Custom filler material produces excellent paint without common damage to mixing equipment
In order to produce paint of the highest possible quality, the raw materials must be tightly controlled. This includes the mineral fillers that make up to 50% of the paint. Filler materials like calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin and silica largely govern paint properties like UV resistance, weatherability, abrasion resistance and sheen. view more (2006-05-22)
Astronomers weigh neutrinos with the universe
Neutrinos, the lightest of the known elementary particles, weigh a billionth (one part in a thousand million) of a hydrogen atom at most, and can account for no more than one-fifth of the dark matter in the Universe, according to findings by astronomers in Cambridge, who used data from the Anglo-Australian telescope 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey... view more...
