Dictyostelium cells shown to lay 'breadcrumb trail' as first step in multicellular formation
When starved of their food source and then presented with a chemoattractant signal like cAMP, individual Dictyostelium cells acquire a polarized morphology and aggregate to form a migrating stream.   view more (2008-12-01)

Squid Skin Reveals Hidden Messages
In the animal world, squid are masters of disguise. Pigmented skin cells enable them to camouflage themselves-almost instantaneously-from predators.   view more (2006-09-22)

Polarized light guides cholera-carrying midges that contaminate water supplies
Cholera is a major killer and since the first pandemic in the early 19th century it has claimed millions of lives. According to Amit Lerner from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, the lethal infection is harboured by an equally infamous insect: chironomids (midges).   view more (2008-10-31)

Locusts' built-in 'surface analysis' ability directs them to fly overland
Swarms of millions of locusts have, since Biblical times and until our very own day, been considered a "plague" of major proportions, with the creatures destroying every growing thing in their path.   view more (2005-08-12)

Advance by chemists may lead to better displays on laptop computers, cell phones
UCLA chemists working at the nanoscale have developed a new, inexpensive means of forcing luminescent polymers to give off polarized light and of confining that light to produce polymer-based lasers.   view more (2007-09-18)

Polarized particles join toolbox for building unique structures
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created polarized, spherical particles that spontaneously self-assemble into clusters with specific shapes and distributions of electric charge.   view more (2006-10-13)

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... view more (2008-03-19)

Light guides flight of migratory birds
Songbirds use multiple sources of directional cues to guide their seasonal migrations, including the Sun, star patterns, the earth's magnetic field, and sky polarized light patterns.   view more (2006-08-11)

Polarizing filter allows astronomers to see disks surrounding black holes
For the first time, a team of international researchers has found a way to view the accretion disks surrounding black holes and verify that their true electromagnetic spectra match what astronomers have long predicted they would be.   view more (2008-07-24)

Europe honours UK particle physics
Particle physicists in the UK received top honours at the recent International Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics in Budapest, with the award of European Physical Society (EPS) Prizes.

Information Note: PPARC Funding for the Linear Collider
Recent articles in The Sunday Times [23 November 2003] and Research Fortnight [26 November 2003] stated that the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council [PPARC] has received £700M from government for the Linear Collider, the next generation particle physics accelerator. This statement... view more (2003-11-26)

Time reversal in the real world
If time went backwards life would look like a video recording played in reverse - or would it? New findings demonstrate that this common assumption may not hold true. Experiments showing for the first time that time is not symmetrical are explained today by Dr John Fry from the University of... view more (2000-09-04)

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)

CERN scientists predict supernova
A team of theoretical physicists working at CERN and the Technion Institute of Technology in Israel has developed a theory to account for the mysterious gamma ray bursts that come from the depths of the Universe. According to their ideas, gamma ray bursts are linked to supernovae, the cataclysmic... view more (2003-04-15)

Mechanical motion used to 'spin' atoms in a gas

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)

Meteorites delivered the 'seeds' of Earth's left-hand life
Flash back three or four billion years - Earth is a hot, dry and lifeless place. All is still. Without warning, a meteor slams into the desert plains at over ten thousand miles per hour. With it, this violent collision may have planted the chemical seeds of life on Earth.   view more (2008-04-07)

Tour takes Physics far and wide
A lecture "Particles and the Universe" aimed at the 16-19 age range, organised by the Institute of Physics, is being given in 40 venues in Britain during the current academic year, in what is the largest schools lecture tour ever staged by the IOP. The lecture is given by Professor Peter Kalmus of... view more (1999-02-02)

New particles get a mass boost
A sophisticated, new analysis has revealed that the next frontier in particle physics is farther away than once thought. New forms of matter not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics are most likely twice as massive as theorists had previously calculated, according to a just-published... view more (2007-10-02)
