'Electronic gridlock' that blocks higher temperature cuprate superconductors is imaged by Cornell researchers
Superconductivity — the conduction of electricity with zero resistance — sometimes can, it seems, become stalled by a form of electronic "gridlock." view more (2007-03-06)
UT-ORNL researchers take step toward understanding superconductivity
A research group at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory led by physics professor Pengcheng Dai, along with collaborators at Boston College, has taken a step toward understanding a great physical mystery. view more (2007-12-26)
Ultracold test produces long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny spec of matter has something called "spin"-an intrinsic trait like eye color-that cannot be changed and which dictates, very specifically, what other bits of matter the spec can share quantum space with. view more (2005-12-23)
Soap, DNA and semiconductors
How can studying soap lead to better methods for transporting drugs around the body? Where’s the link between semiconductors and DNA and how can statistical physics reveal how ecosystems evolve? Find out at the Institute of Physics Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) Conference being held at the University of Bristol between 18 and... view more... (2000-12-13)

Probe to detect spread of breast cancer co-developed by UH scientist
High-temperature superconductors hold the key to a handheld tool for surgeons that promises to be more accurate, cost-effective and safer than existing methods for staging and treating various cancers, including breast cancer. view more (2007-03-07)
Underpinning the technological revolution - ISIS marks 20 years of science research
Today (Thursday 16 December 2004) ISIS, the world-leading science facility at the CCLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, is celebrating 20 years of scientific research since the first neutrons were produced on 16 December 1984. Neutrons are an extremely versatile probe used by researchers across all the scientific disciplines to... view more... (2004-12-16)
A new study of living cells could revolutionize the way we test drugs
Researchers have made a breakthrough by detecting the electrical equivalent of a living cell's last gasp. The work takes them a step closer to both seeing the 'heartbeat' of a living cell and a new way to test drugs. view more (2007-04-12)
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 much European GHG emissions would be reduced if... view more... (2003-07-23)
New theory for latest high-temperature superconductors
Physicists from Rice and Rutgers universities have published a new theory that explains some of the complex electronic and magnetic properties of iron "pnictides." In a series of startling discoveries this spring, pnictides were shown to superconduct at relatively high temperatures. The surprising discoveries created a great deal of... view more... (2008-08-14)
Discovery at UAB brings us nearer to making the dream of invisibility true
A group of researchers from the Department of Physics at UAB have designed a device, called a dc metamaterial, which makes objects invisible under certain light - very low frequency electromagnetic waves - by making the inside of the magnetic field zero but not altering the exterior field. view more (2009-07-08)
Researchers build an ultrasound version of the laser
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at the University of Missouri at Rolla have built an ultrasound analogue of the laser. view more (2006-06-09)
First Direct Observations of Spinons and Holons
Working at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a team of researchers has observed the theoretical prediction of electron "spin-charge separation" in a one-dimensional solid. view more (2006-07-17)
A step nearer to understanding superconductivity
Transporting energy without any loss, travelling in magnetically levitated trains, carrying out medical imaging (MRI) with small-scale equipment: all these things could come true if we had superconducting materials that worked at room temperature. view more (2007-06-07)
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)
Long-distance record -- 'Quantum keys' sent 200 kilometers
Particles of light serving as "quantum keys"-the latest in encryption technology-have been sent over a record-setting 200-kilometer fiber-optic link by researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NTT Corp. in Japan, and Stanford University. view more (2007-06-04)
