A bit of imagination on the part of a measuring instrument wouldn't be a bad thing. It could help to add data from areas where the instrument is unable to measure. However, it must do so constructively. In order to infer missing data in an astronomical measurement with more than just imagination, physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics have formulated a theory of spatial perception called information field theory. http://www.physorg.com/news178209326.html Physics Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:36:47 EST news178209326 Like surfers on monster waves, electrons can ride waves of plasma to very high energies in a very short distance. Scientists have proven that plasma acceleration works. Now they're developing it as a way to dramatically shrink the size and cost of particle accelerators for science, medicine, industry, and myriad other uses. http://www.physorg.com/news177786729.html Physics Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:13:04 EST news177786729 Superstring theory aims to explain the laws of physics from extremely small strings in various states. Theoretical superstring theory is therefore normally not considered to be particularly relevant for practical particle physics experiments. http://www.physorg.com/news176125202.html Physics Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:42:37 EST news176125202 (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 (PhysOrg.com) -- One of the classical problems in quantum mechanics concerns a man and his feline companion. The man has placed his cat in an opaque tank and is slowing pumping it full of poison. Now until the man opens the tank and looks inside, he cannot be sure whether the cat is dead or alive. That is to say, the cat is both dead and alive at the same time. Impossible but such is the nature of the problem that faced this man. The man's name is Erwin Schrodinger and the problem is that of his Uncertainty Principle. http://www.physorg.com/news173026471.html Physics Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:55:13 EST news173026471 CERN`s director general Rolf-Dieter Heuer will push for the linear collider, the next big experiment in particle physics after the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), to be built at the Geneva lab. Heuer made his call to situate the linear collider at CERN in an exclusive video interview with Physicsworld, which is being relaunched today, Wednesday 16 September. http://www.physorg.com/news172317407.html Physics Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:01:04 EST news172317407 Among the most astounding, unexpected, and important achievements of the past century (or even more) have been the discoveries of dark matter and dark energy, collectively dubbed the "dark sector." http://www.physorg.com/news171640779.html Physics Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:00:37 EST news171640779 (PhysOrg.com) -- Ever since the Large Area Telescope launched aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in June 2008, the LAT team has been analyzing data, searching for answers to some of the most pressing questions in astrophysics. Now everyone else can join in. http://www.physorg.com/news170618937.html Space & Earth Thu, 27 Aug 2009 19:30:01 EST news170618937 (PhysOrg.com) -- The Milky Way, like many other galaxies, is thought to be embedded in massive, lumpy amounts of dark matter that release gamma rays and other emissions. Although at first these emissions seem too faint to detect, recent observations have shown that they may be stronger than previously thought. In a new study, scientists have developed a model that predicts that gamma rays from hundreds of dark matter clumps should be detectable by the Fermi satellite that was launched in June 2008. http://www.physorg.com/news169121408.html Physics Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:10:36 EST news169121408 Particle physics saves lives, connects continents through new channels of communication, helps us understand the world around us and inspires tomorrow's leaders. http://www.physorg.com/news162721306.html Physics Thu, 28 May 2009 09:22:15 EST news162721306 (PhysOrg.com) -- In trying to understand how gravity behaves on the quantum scale, physicists have developed a model that has an interesting implication: mini black holes could be everywhere, and all particles might be made of various forms of black holes. http://www.physorg.com/news161857121.html Physics Mon, 18 May 2009 09:19:20 EST news161857121 (PhysOrg.com) -- Looking for images on the internet can be a frustrating business. Whether you want the perfect sunset over the sea or the London skyline by night, youre dependent on people to describe the images on their web pages. Now Imense Ltd, a high-tech Cambridge start-up, has announced new investment to help them become the Google of image searching, using their revolutionary technology. http://www.physorg.com/news157738827.html Technology Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:21:57 EST news157738827 (PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists of the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have observed particle collisions that produce single top quarks. The discovery of the single top confirms important parameters of particle physics, including the total number of quarks, and has significance for the ongoing search for the Higgs particle at Fermilab's Tevatron, currently the world's most powerful operating particle accelerator. http://www.physorg.com/news155816209.html Physics Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:17:28 EST news155816209 (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 (PhysOrg.com) -- A University of Alberta researcher has learned that the Large Hadron Collider's experiments to duplicate the Big Bang and the origins of the universe will get going again in late July. http://www.physorg.com/news148659491.html Physics Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:18:11 EST news148659491 (PhysOrg.com) -- The field of particle physics is poised to enter unknown territory with the startup of a massive new accelerator--the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)--in Europe this summer.
