Giorgio Parisi elected as new member of the National Academy of Sciences
The italian scientist Giorgio Parisi, Director of the INFM Research and Development Center SMC (Statistical Mechanics and Complexity), has become a member of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. A very few italian scientists have this privilege: e.g. the Nobel Prize... view more (2003-05-08)

Direct photon properties reveal secrets of extreme nuclear states
When atomic nuclei are smashed together at great speed, resulting temperatures exceed one trillion degrees, 200 million times hotter than the surface of the sun.   view more (2006-04-26)

Researchers examine potential for 'refilling' hydrogen storage material
Performing quantum calculations on a supercomputer, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have characterized a material that might allow on-board refueling of hydrogen powered vehicles.   view more (2005-08-29)

Supercomputers help physicists understand a force of nature
What if the tiniest components of matter were somehow different from the way they exist now, perhaps only slightly different or maybe a lot? What if they had been different from the moment the universe began in the big bang? Would matter as we know it be the same? Would humans even exist?   view more (2006-07-12)

Rising oil prices have revved momentum to develop more efficient combustion systems. But instrumental to this goal is a need to achieve greater understanding of the complex chemical reactions involved in combustion processes.   view more (2005-08-30)

New Superlattice Structure Enables High Performance Infrared Imaging
Scientists at the Center for Quantum Devices (CQD) in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University have demonstrated for the first time a high-performance infrared imager, based on a Type II superlattice, which looks at wavelengths 20 times longer than visible light.   view more (2008-05-28)

LSU professor resolves Einstein's twin paradox
Subhash Kak, Delaune Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at LSU, recently resolved the twin paradox, known as one of the most enduring puzzles of modern-day physics.   view more (2007-02-15)

HEBREW UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR NAMED FELLOW OF AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE
Prof. Sason Shaik of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has been named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the association has announced.   view more (2003-11-23)

PRESS INVITE: Photon02 – Cardiff International Arena, 2 – 5 September 2002
Modern telecommunications often rely on photonics – the transmission of data by rapid pulses of light. Pure research and industrial applications in optics and photonics will be presented at Photon02, the major meeting for the UK photonics industry, at Cardiff International Arena on 2 to 5... view more (2002-08-15)

Spinning into the future of data storage
Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have improved their understanding of the inner workings of our computers and mp3 players, thanks to an exciting new field of research called 'organic spintronics'.   view more (2008-11-24)

Getting to the core of the problem - CMD19CMMP with
Using the equations of quantum mechanics, which normally govern the bizarre physics that occurs at tiny atomic scales, has enabled geophysicists to answer a much larger-scale question - what the Earth`s core is made from. At the Condensed Matter physics conference on Tuesday 9 April, part of the... view more (2002-03-26)

High Value Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes
Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every eighteen months. However current silicon technologies are approaching the limits imposed by quantum mechanics, which will stop Moore's Law in its tracks within 20 years. New materials and techniques must be found to... view more (2004-07-09)

First Direct Observations of Spinons and Holons
Working at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a team of researchers has observed the theoretical prediction of electron "spin-charge separation" in a one-dimensional solid.   view more (2006-07-17)

Protein simulation can be done three times as fast
Protein movement can be simulated three times as fast than had been thought possible up to now. Researchers from Groningen achieved the gain in speed by leaving out the calculations concerning hydrogen atoms. Meanwhile research groups around the world are adapting their simulation programs.   view more (2002-06-24)

Patients are willing to allow personal details to be used for rersearch, but want to be consulted first
Patients are willing to allow personal information from their medical records to be used for research purposes, but want to be actively consulted first, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in Canada identified 123 patients from family practices in Southern Ontario. Seventeen were... view more (2003-02-12)

Would knowing your genetic risk change your behaviour?
Providing people with genetic information on risk may not increase their motivation to change behaviour, and in some cases may decrease motivation, finds a review in this week's BMJ. Using the limited evidence and the literature on behavioural change, the research team examined if and how people's... view more (2001-04-24)

New JILA technique reveals hidden properties of ultracold atomic gases
Physicists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder, have demonstrated a powerful new technique that reveals hidden properties of ultracold atomic gases.   view more (2008-08-07)

NMR advance relies on microscopic detector
Detecting the molecular structure of a tiny protein using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) currently requires two things: a million-dollar machine the size of a massive SUV, and a large sample of the protein under study.   view more (2007-05-16)

True properties of carbon nanotubes measured
For more than 15 years, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the flagship material of nanotechnology. Researchers have conceived applications for nanotubes ranging from microelectronic devices to cancer therapy. Their atomic structure should, in theory, give them mechanical and electrical properties... view more (2008-08-18)

Physicists wipe away complexity for a clearer view of heavy nuclei
Despite advances in experimental nuclear physics, the most detailed probing of atomic nuclei still requires heavy doses of advanced nuclear theory. The problem is that using theory to make meaningful predictions requires massive datasets that tax even high-powered supercomputers.   view more (2007-03-15)
