Gadonanotubes greatly outperform existing MRI contrast agents
Researchers at Rice University, the Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Houston and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland have created a new class of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that are at least 40 times more effective... view more (2005-08-12)

New research shows EU how to hit Kyoto target
High temperature superconductor (HTS) devices could help the EU reduce its CO2 emissions by up to 52 million tonnes, equivalent to 65 per cent of its Kyoto Protocol commitment. Teemu Hartikainen, Jorma Lehtonen and Risto Mikkonen from Tampere University of Technology, Finland have worked out how... view more (2003-07-23)

Nature press release for 2 August issue
[412543] LIFELINES: POPULATION SET TO PEAK IN 2070 (pp543-545; N&V) The world's population may be heading for a peak as soon as 2070, followed by a decline, suggests a study in this week's Nature. There is an 85 per cent chance that the population will stop growing before 2100. The population could... view more (2001-08-02)

Galaxy Zoo -- an Internet superstar
Since Galaxy Zoo's launch in July 2007, some 150,000 members of the public, inspired by the opportunity to be the first to see and classify a galaxy, have helped professional astronomers via this on-line mass-participation project to carry out real scientific research.   view more (2008-09-02)

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)

Towards a new test of general relativity?
Scientists funded by the European Space Agency have measured the gravitational equivalent of a magnetic field for the first time in a laboratory. Under certain special conditions the effect is much larger than expected from general relativity and could help physicists to make a significant step... view more (2006-03-24)

UA Physicists Discover 'Super Crystals' in a Semiconductor
University of Arizona physicists have discovered that "super crystals" -- crystals which are hundreds to thousands times larger than conventional crystals -- exist in certain organic semiconducting solids.   view more (2007-08-17)

The world's largest particle accelerator has been completed
The last quadripolar magnet was brought down into the tunnel of the world's largest particle accelerator; the CERN's1 LHC, or Large Hadron Collidor.   view more (2007-04-02)

Quantum Effects Make the Difference
The atomic constituents of matter are never still, even at absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius). This consequence of quantum mechanics can result in continuous transition between different material states. Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids have studied this... view more (2007-03-05)
