(PhysOrg.com) -- The dense, hot, radioactive core of the Sun rotates significantly more slowly than the layer next to it, the radiative zone, a Stanford solar physicist has concluded. http://www.physorg.com/news144072983.html Space & Earth Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:16:23 EST news144072983 (PhysOrg.com) -- Physicists from the Japanese-led multi-national T2K neutrino collaboration announced today that over the weekend they detected the first events generated by their newly built neutrino beam at the J-PARC accelerator laboratory in Tokai, Japan. http://www.physorg.com/news178300806.html Physics Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:01:48 EST news178300806 One of the biggest mysteries of the universe deals with questions of dark matter. There are several experiments and models being designed all over the world to try and determine what would make good dark matter candidates. And with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland, some of these experiments may be ready for testing. http://www.physorg.com/news119269259.html Physics Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:20:59 EST news119269259 (PhysOrg.com) -- A consortium led by UC Davis physics professor Robert Svoboda will design the world's largest neutrino detector under a $4.4 million contract recently awarded by the National Science Foundation. http://www.physorg.com/news174731920.html Physics Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:49:21 EST news174731920 In the quest to better understand one of nature's most "ghostly" elementary particles - the neutrino - scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are spreading their expertise from the mines of Canada to the mountains of China. Richard L. Hahn, a senior chemist at Brookhaven Lab, will discuss some of the neutrino's mysterious properties and two new neutrino research projects at the 236th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society on Tuesday, August 19, 2008. http://www.physorg.com/news138374825.html Physics Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:27:05 EST news138374825 (PhysOrg.com) -- Construction begins this month on a cutting-edge physics laboratory in northern Minnesota, supported by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Congressman James Oberstar of Minnesota and Congressman Bill Foster of Illinois today are joining officials from the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of Minnesota to break ground for NOvA, the world`s most advanced neutrino experiment. http://www.physorg.com/news160405383.html Physics Fri, 01 May 2009 14:04:04 EST news160405383 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 scientists. http://www.physorg.com/news143295554.html Physics Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:19:14 EST news143295554 (PhysOrg.com) -- Black holes are invading stars, providing a radical explanation to bright flashes in the universe that are one of the biggest mysteries in astronomy today. http://www.physorg.com/news172485915.html Space & Earth Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:45:40 EST news172485915 An announcement by scientists at the Department of Energy`s Fermilab today significantly clarifies the overall picture of how neutrinos behave. http://www.physorg.com/news95514340.html Physics Wed, 11 Apr 2007 12:45:40 EST news95514340 Scientists of the MiniBooNE experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermilab today announced their first findings. The MiniBooNE results resolve questions raised by observations of the LSND experiment in the 1990s that appeared to contradict findings of other neutrino experiments worldwide. MiniBooNE researchers showed conclusively that the LSND results could not be due to simple neutrino oscillation, a phenomenon in which one type of neutrino transforms into another type and back again. http://www.physorg.com/news95517501.html Physics Wed, 11 Apr 2007 13:38:21 EST news95517501 Physicists can rest easy--the Standard Model of Particle Physics is still in effect. More than 100 MIT students and professors jammed into Room 35-225 on Wednesday, April 11, to hear the long-anticipated results of a particle detection experiment designed to produce evidence that would confirm or reject the model, which outlines the elements of particle physics. http://www.physorg.com/news96217250.html Physics Thu, 19 Apr 2007 16:00:50 EST news96217250 Scientists at CERN announced the completion of the target assembly for the CERN neutrinos to Gran Sasso project, CNGS. On schedule for start-up in May 2006, CNGS will send a beam of neutrinos through the Earth to the Gran Sasso laboratory 730km away in Italy in a bid to unravel the mysteries of nature`s most elusive particles. http://www.physorg.com/news5833.html Physics Tue, 16 Aug 2005 07:07:36 EST news5833 Will the universe expand outward for all of eternity and end in a vast, dark, cold, sterile, diffuse nothingness? Or will the `Big Bang` - the gargantuan explosion that formed the universe 14 billion years ago - end in the `Big Crunch?` Planets, stars and galaxies all hurtle inward and collapse into an incredibly hot, dense mass a billion times smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. And then … KA-BOOOOM!!! Another Big Bang and another universe forms and hurtles outward, eventually leading to new iterations of the Sun, the Earth, and you? http://www.physorg.com/news169481109.html Physics Sun, 16 Aug 2009 09:00:02 EST news169481109 Neutrinos released in Switzerland are due to be caught in Italy under the international project OPERA. The system of detectors for identifying these mysterious particles is developed by a joint effort of Russian and Ukrainian scientists.Specialists from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) and Institute of Scintillator Materials NASU (Kharkov, Ukraine) have joined the Project OPERA that is a biggest and most expensive international experiment in the field of physics.
