Princeton physicists connect string theory with established physics
String theory, simultaneously one of the most promising and controversial ideas in modern physics, may be more capable of helping probe the inner workings of subatomic particles than was previously thought, according to a team of Princeton University scientists. view more (2007-05-03)
What Happened to the Antimatter? Fermilab's DZero Experiment Finds Clues in Quick-Change Meson
Scientists of the DZero collider detector collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have announced that their data on the properties of a subatomic particle, the B_s meson ("B sub s"), suggest that the particle oscillates between matter and... view more (2006-03-24)
Scientist brings 50 million year old spider 'back to life'
A 50-million-year-old fossilised spider has been brought back to life in stunning 3D by a scientist at The University of Manchester. view more (2007-10-30)
Polar neutrino observatory takes a big step forward
An international team of scientists and engineers has taken a major step toward completion of what will be the world's preeminent cosmic neutrino observatory, harnessing a sophisticated hot-water drill to build an observatory under the South Pole that eventually will encompass a cubic kilometer of... view more (2006-03-22)
3-D imaging -- first insights into magnetic fields
3-D images are not only useful in medicine; the observation of internal structures is also invaluable in many other fields of scientific investigation. view more (2008-03-31)
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)
Mystery of missing hydrogen
Something vital is missing in the far distant reaches of the Universe: hydrogen - the raw material for stars, planets and possible life. view more (2008-11-24)

Undergraduate Helps Discover Beautiful Quark Combinations
University of Rochester physics undergraduate Scott Field participated in the search for two subatomic particles whose existence was announced today by scientists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Illinois. Field's research focused on the extremely rare quark of the... view more (2006-10-24)
Press Invitation: Mysteries of the universe could be answered in the UK
The UK could lead the way in particle physics research if plans go ahead to site a facility in the UK that will help unravel some of the mysteries of the Big Bang. view more (2002-06-27)
Quantum chaos unveiled?
A University of Utah study is shedding light on an important, unsolved physics problem: the relationship between chaos theory - which is based on 300-year-old Newtonian physics - and the modern theory of quantum mechanics. view more (2008-08-07)
UCR-led research team detects 'top quark,' a basic constituent of matter
A group of 50 international physicists, led by UC Riverside's Ann Heinson, has detected for the first time a subatomic particle, the top quark, produced without the simultaneous production of its antimatter partner - an extremely rare event. view more (2006-12-14)
Collaborative study successfully applies neutrons to study hydrogen transfer in biological systems
An innovative collaboration among scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Fox Chase Cancer Center and the University of Tennessee has successfully applied neutron diffraction to create a three-dimensional map of the structure of the enzyme D-xylose isomerase. view more (2006-05-16)
Einstein's relativity survives neutrino test
Physicists working to disprove "Lorentz invariance" -- Einstein's prediction that matter and massless particles will behave the same no matter how they're turned or how fast they go -- won't get that satisfaction from muon neutrinos, at least for the time being, says a consortium of... view more (2008-10-16)
Dramatic Difference Discovered In Behaviour Of Matter And Antimatter
Today, August 2nd 2004, particle physicists from the UK and around the world working on the BABAR experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the USA, announced exciting new results demonstrating a dramatic difference in the behaviour of matter and antimatter. Their discovery may... view more (2004-08-02)
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)
New Unified Force Theory Predicts Measured Values of Physics
David Thomson and Jim Bourassa of the Quantum AetherDynamics Institute (QADI) released a new theory which mathematically predicts and explains the measured values of physics with striking precision.
