Atomic physics study sets new limits on hypothetical new particles
In a forthcoming Physical Review Letters article, a group of physicists at the University of Nevada, Reno are reporting a refined analysis of experiments on violation of mirror symmetry in atoms that sets new constraints on a hypothesized particle, the extra Z-boson. view more (2009-05-01)
CDF precision measurement of W-boson mass suggests a lighter Higgs particle
Scientists of the CDF collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today (January 8, 2007) the world's most precise measurement by a single experiment of the mass of the W boson, the carrier of the weak nuclear force and a key parameter of the Standard Model of particles and forces. The new W-mass... view more... (2007-01-09)

Research overturns accepted notion of neutron's electrical properties
For two generations of physicists, it has been a standard belief that the neutron, an electrically neutral elementary particle and a primary component of an atom, actually carries a positive charge at its center and an offsetting negative charge at its outer edge. view more (2007-09-18)
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)
Does your physics teacher set fire to dustbins in lessons?
Does your physics teacher set fire to dustbins in lessons? Bristol-based teacher Lucien McLellan (41) who teaches at Downend School did just that, and has been awarded the 'Best Demonstration' prize at the international festival Physics on Stage 3, in Noordwijk, The Netherlands which ran between 8 - 15 November 2003. Beating 300 other teachers to... view more... (2003-11-18)
It Might Be... It Could Be... It Is !
Scientists of the CDF collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today (September 25, 2006) that they have met the exacting standard to claim discovery of astonishingly rapid transitions between matter and antimatter: 3 trillion oscillations per second. view more (2006-09-26)
Smart Insulin Nanostructures Pass Feasibility Test, UT Study Reports
Biomedical engineers at The University of Texas School of Health Information Sciences at Houston have announced pre-clinical test results in the September issue of the International Journal of Nanomedicine demonstrating the feasibility of a smart particle insulin release system that detects spikes in glucose or blood sugar levels and releases... view more...

Particle oddball surprises CDF physicists at Fermilab
Scientists of the CDF experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced yesterday (March 17) that they have found evidence of an unexpected particle whose curious characteristics may reveal new ways that quarks can combine to form matter. view more (2009-03-19)
ESF workshop makes major advance in cancer radiotherapy
Radical improvements in outcome for many cancer sufferers are in prospect following one of the most significant advances in radiotherapy since x-rays were first used to treat a tumour in 1904. view more (2008-11-07)
Lining up for a new atom smasher
The physicists are coming to Oxford for the ECFA/DESY Linear Collider Workshop, from 20-23 March. Here they will develop plans for two 10-km long particle accelerators which will be accurately aligned to fire beams of electrons and positrons (anti-electrons) at each other. When matter and antimatter collide, they disappear - annihilate - in a... view more... (1999-03-16)
Antiprotons 4 times more effective than protons for cell irradiation
