A team of scientists from the US, the UK and Germany has been the first to make a magnetic material constructed from nature's strongest known hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for many of the properties of water and for holding together the DNA double helix. http://www.physorg.com/news84643085.html Chemistry Wed, 06 Dec 2006 15:58:05 EST news84643085 The newly installed muon identification system in the BaBar detector is working beautifully. Taking advantage of naturally occurring cosmic rays, the BaBar team has been testing the new detection system in preparation for the January start-up. http://www.physorg.com/news85337100.html Physics Thu, 14 Dec 2006 16:45:00 EST news85337100 (PhysOrg.com) -- Cosmic-rays detected half a mile underground in a disused U.S. iron-mine can be used to detect major weather events occurring 20 miles up in the Earth's upper atmosphere, a new study has revealed. http://www.physorg.com/news151775496.html Space & Earth Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:52:16 EST news151775496 Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have improved their understanding of the inner workings of our computers and mp3 players, thanks to an exciting new field of research called 'organic spintronics'. http://www.physorg.com/news146740386.html Physics Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:13:06 EST news146740386 (PhysOrg.com) -- Recently, an international group of researchers discovered that the underlying mechanism producing high-temperature superconductivity in a widely studied class of copper-oxygen-based superconductors may be different than scientists have long been assuming. http://www.physorg.com/news156523499.html Physics Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:45:29 EST news156523499 Scientists of the DZero collaboration at the US Department of Energy's Fermilab have announced the observation of pairs of Z bosons, force-carrying particles produced in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron, the world's highest-energy particle accelerator. The properties of the ZZ diboson make its discovery an essential prelude to finding or excluding the Higgs boson at the Tevatron. http://www.physorg.com/news136634078.html Physics Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:54:38 EST news136634078 The rooftop of a Paris skyscraper is to be transformed into a cosmic-ray laboratory in an unusual week-long experiment due to start on Saturday. http://www.physorg.com/news174205049.html Physics Thu, 08 Oct 2009 07:32:35 EST news174205049 (PhysOrg.com) -- Where are the muon-muon pairs coming from? http://www.physorg.com/news145029766.html Physics Tue, 04 Nov 2008 14:02:46 EST news145029766 (PhysOrg.com) -- True muonium, a long-theorized but never-seen atom, might be observed in future experiments, thanks to recent theoretical work by researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Arizona State University. True muonium was first theorized more than 50 years ago, but until now no one had uncovered an unambiguous method by which it could be created and observed. http://www.physorg.com/news162815271.html Physics Fri, 29 May 2009 11:28:32 EST news162815271 (PhysOrg.com) -- A magnetic charge can behave and interact just like an electric charge in some materials, according to new research led by the London Centre for Nanotechnology. http://www.physorg.com/news174851494.html Physics Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:52:33 EST news174851494 Like a bird in molt, the BaBar detector is temporarily vulnerable while it acquires better plumage. http://www.physorg.com/news82920699.html Physics Thu, 16 Nov 2006 17:31:39 EST news82920699 When the world's most powerful subatomic particle collider begins gathering data this summer, it will be a major milestone for a number of University of Washington scientists. http://www.physorg.com/news130604079.html Physics Wed, 21 May 2008 15:54:39 EST news130604079 Earth is showered constantly by particles called muons that are created by cosmic rays, and clever scientists are finding ways to use them as probes of dense objects, including a massive pyramid in Mexico and volcanoes in Japan. American researchers also have proposed using the energetic particles to detect smuggled nuclear materials in vehicles and cargo containers. Muons are formed when cosmic rays from deep space interact with the atmosphere. The particles, which strike earth's surface at the rate of about 10,000 per square meter per minute, pass through large amounts of rock or metal with ease, yet their charge makes them easy to track. http://www.physorg.com/news3121.html Nanotechnology Mon, 21 Feb 2005 08:36:17 EST news3121 Cosmic rays, which are high-energy atomic nuclei driven by spectacular cosmic events, come to us from every direction on the sky. Most of them are destroyed high in the atmosphere, creating a shower of high-speed particles that penetrate sky and earth with ease. Surprising results from Japan's Super-Kamiokande underground observatory have recently shown that the distribution of cosmic rays on the sky is not uniform, a useful clue to the nature of these cosmic voyagers. http://www.physorg.com/news66921457.html Physics Mon, 15 May 2006 14:17:37 EST news66921457 The most recent results from the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array, or AMANDA, located a mile under the ice at the South Pole, have yielded the most stringent prediction yet for the highest possible rate that neutrinos from deep-space gamma-ray bursts can reach Earth -even though AMANDA did not conclusively detect even one neutrino from any astronomical sources during its first six years. The analysis is published in the February 10, 2008, edition of The Astrophysical Journal. http://www.physorg.com/news123497018.html Physics Fri, 29 Feb 2008 08:43:38 EST news123497018
