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... view more (1999-03-16)

Supernovae-Cosmic Lighthouses
Supernovae stand out in the sky like cosmic lighthouses. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and at the National Astronomical Institute of Italy have now found a way to use these cosmic beacons to measure distances in space more accurately.   view more (2007-02-12)

Workshop Suggests Turning Problems into Biofuels
The twin problems of too much feedlot manure and too many mesquite trees could be solved by converting them into renewable bioenergy products, Texas A&M University System agricultural researchers, engineers and commercialization experts suggested Friday.   view more (2006-09-05)

Starquakes reveal stellar secrets
Looking into the interior of the Earth or the Sun is a bit similar to examining a baby in its mother`s womb using an ultrasound scan. Light cannot penetrate the area, so we make pictures in these cases using sound waves, which human ears cannot hear. With SOHO, ESA has probed deeply into the Sun... view more (2002-08-14)

Arctic expedition will investigate alien-like glacier
A scientific expedition to a remote glacier field in Canada's High Arctic may help researchers unlock the secrets about the beginning of life and provide insights for future exploration of our solar system.   view more (2006-06-14)

TU Delft, ECN and Stanford Work Together For Clean Energy
The Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) of the University of Stanford has announced that it will be investing 9 million Dollars in seven research proposals. Over a period of three years, The Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) and TU Delft together will receive 2,3 million Dollars... view more (2005-02-16)

Details of solar particles penetrating the Earth's environment revealed
Co-ordinated efforts by China/ESA's Double Star and ESA's Cluster spacecraft have allowed scientists to zero in on an area where energetic particles from the Sun are blasting their way through the Earth's magnetic shield.   view more (2006-10-04)

When a good nanoparticle goes bad
Researchers at Cornell University recently made a major breakthrough when they invented a method to test and demonstrate a long-held hypothesis that some very, very small metal particles work much better than others in various chemical processes such as converting chemical energy to electricity in... view more (2008-11-11)

Floridians believe global warming will have dangerous impacts on the state
A new survey of Floridians finds that most are convinced that global warming is happening now and that more should be done by key leaders to help Florida deal with climate change.   view more (2008-06-25)

New Planet Is Larger than Pluto
Claims that the Solar System has a tenth planet are bolstered by the finding by a group lead by Bonn astrophysicists that this alleged planet, announced last summer and tentatively named 2003 UB313, is bigger than Pluto.   view more (2006-02-02)

University of Michigan astronomers capture the first image of surface features on a sun-like star
University of Michigan astronomers combined light from four widely separated telescopes to produce the first picture showing surface details on a sun-like star beyond our solar system.   view more (2007-06-01)

Gas giants jump into planet formation early
Observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope show that gas giants either form within the first 10 million years of a sun-like star's life, or not at all.   view more (2007-01-09)

SSTL momentum wheel aids Rosetta mission’s 9-year journey into space
Guildford, UK SSTL have delivered two flight standard momentum wheels to DLR in Germany, one of which will fly on the Rosetta spacecraft that is due to be launched in January 2003, the other as a flight spare. The Rosetta spacecraft will rendezvous with the comet "46 P/Wirtanen" on 29th November... view more (2001-04-10)

Scientists Discover New Planet Orbiting Dangerously Close to Giant Star
A team of astronomers from Penn State and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland has discovered a new planet that is closely orbiting a red-giant star, HD 102272, which is much older than our own Sun.   view more (2008-11-19)

Burghartz scientific director of thematic DIMES
On 5 June, Professor Joachim Burghartz will be officially appointed as scientific director of a new thematic DIMES (Delft Institute of Microelectronics and Submicrontechnology). To prevent that the research of the strongly growing DIMES becomes too diverse, four research themes will form the new... view more (2001-06-01)
