Superconducting sensor helps detecting gravitation waves
To be able to detect gravitation waves in space, physicist have to measure truly minimal displacements: ten billion times smaller than the size of an atom. An improved superconducting sensor is a suitable candidate for this job, Martin Podt of the University of Twente now states in his PhD thesis.... view more (2003-01-15)

"The possibility to realize the TESLA X-ray... view more (2003-02-05)

Complex order parameter in ruthenate superconductors confirmed
Since it was discovered to be superconducting over a decade ago, the pairing symmetry of strontium ruthenium oxide has been widely explored and debated. Now, a team of researchers led by Dale Van Harlingen at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say the debate is over.   view more (2006-11-28)

Positive statement of the German Science Council about the International Accelerator Project TESLA
On Monday, July 15 2002, at 11 a.m., the German Science Council, installed by the German government, published its evaluation statement about large scale facilities for basic research in the natural sciences. It assessed the TESLA project planned by the research center DESY in cooperation with... view more (2002-07-15)

Scientists design a tool for detection of rogue molecules “on the run”
A research group of the Microtechnology Centre at Chalmers, MC2, at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden, has developed an ultra-sensitive device for detecting the presence of organic molecules present in space. Organic material as far away from us as many thousands of light... view more (2002-04-16)

Magnet Made Of Pure Carbon
All known magnets contain metals and so far scientists believed that non-metallic material could not behave like a strong magnet. However, at the end of 20th century, some organic substances with strong magnetic properties were found, but they were magnetic only at very low temperatures, just above... view more (2001-10-24)

Under pressure, vanadium won't turn down the volume
Scientists at Carnegie's Geophysical Laboratory have discovered a new type of phase transition—a change from one form to another—in vanadium, a metal that is commonly added to steel to make it harder and more durable.   view more (2007-02-21)

Superconductors get a boost from pressure
Superconductors can convey more than 150 times more electricity than copper wires because they don't restrict electron movement, the essence of electricity.   view more (2008-05-20)

A new discovery helps us to understand the complex nature of earthquakes
Álvaro Corral, a physicist at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has discovered that the structure of the recurrence time of earthquakes, which is the time interval between successive earthquakes, is similar to the spatial structure of physics systems when they change phase... view more (2005-07-11)
