Porous Silicon Joining Humans To Machines
Porous silicon was discovered as scientists attempted to electropolish silicon with an electrolyte containing hydrofluoric acid. The acid left a number of quantum dots in the silicon which trap electrons making it an efficient, luminescent semiconductor. The initial research findings from De... view more (1999-03-26)

2,500 researchers, 1 supermachine, 1 new snapshot of the universe
Deep in the bowels of the earth -100 metres below ground in Geneva, Switzerland - lies a supermachine of 27 km circumference called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that has been built to unlock the mysteries of the universe.   view more (2008-04-01)

Particle physics fights terrorism
Scientists have developed a detector for plastic explosives. A consortium of scientists from Imperial College, other universities and industy have created the detector, which uses neutrons and is based on technologies developed for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva. The technique overcomes... view more (1997-11-03)

OxLoc Technology Promotes Wildlife Conservation
In a major move to exploit its innovative location monitoring technology, OxLoc have chosen to partner with the leading European animal tracking company Televilt. OxLoc Ltd will provide their unique miniature GPS-GSM modules which will be embedded into Televilt's existing animal collar. 'The animal... view more (2002-08-05)

Where has all the antimatter gone?
