 A front-row seat at this summer's physics extravaganzaNearly 20 years in the making, the largest particle accelerator in the world will start running in Switzerland this summer, offering scientists a glimpse of particles that have never been seen before. |
NASA GLAST Burst Monitor Powers Up SuccessfullyNASA’s GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) Instrument Operations Center in Huntsville, Ala., the focal point for observing gamma ray bursts, was alive with energy as scientists gathered to witness instrument activation the evening ... |
Food inspection technology could kill waiter jokesNew inspection X-ray technology developed by European researchers is helping to ensure that the only thing in people’s dinners is the food itself. |
 Exposing the Sensitivity of Extreme Ultraviolet PhotoresistsResearchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have confirmed that the photoresists used in next-generation semiconductor manufacturing processes now under development are twice as ... |
Super-sensitive explosives detector can detect explosives at distances exceeding 20 yardsUsing a laser and a device that converts reflected light into sound, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory can detect explosives at distances exceeding 20 yards. |
 Avalanche photodiodes target bioterrorism agentsResearchers have shown that a new class of ultraviolet photodiode could help meet the U.S. military's pressing requirement for compact, reliable and cost-effective sensors to detect anthrax and other bioterrorism ... |
PET imaging detects early, 'silent heart' stage of disease in asymptomatic diabetic patientsAs many as 50 percent of all cardiac deaths due to disease in the heart's vessels occur in individuals with no prior history or symptoms of heart disease. In addition, standard coronary risk factors may fail to explain up ... |
 World's Largest Quantum Bell Test Spans Three Swiss TownsIn an attempt to rule out any kind of communication between entangled particles, physicists from the University of Geneva have sent two entangled photons traveling to different towns located 18 km apart – ... |
 Carbon Nanotubes as a Single-Photon SourceCarbon nanotubes, as true multi-purpose materials, have potential applications in everything from electrical circuits and drug delivery to golf clubs and space elevators. Recently, physicists have investigated ... |
 Can you hear black holes collide?A team of gravitational-wave researchers from four universities has been selected to exhibit at the prestigious Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition. |
 NASA Plans to Visit the SunFor more than 400 years, astronomers have studied the sun from afar. Now NASA has decided to go there. "We are going to visit a living, breathing star for the first time," says program scientist Lika Guhathakurta ... |
Sniffing out a broad-spectrum of airborne threats in secondsJun 09, 2008 | pda version
Scientists in California are reporting successful laboratory and field tests of a new device that can sniff out the faintest traces of a wide range of chemical, biological, nuclear, and explosive threats - and illicit drugs ... |
 New detector uses nanotubes to sense deadly gasesUsing carbon nanotubes, MIT chemical engineers have built the most sensitive electronic detector yet for sensing deadly gases such as the nerve agent sarin. |
 'Squeezed' Light May Improve Gravitational Wave DetectorsA research collaboration has taken steps toward improving the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors, devices designed to measure distance changes as minute as one-thousandth the diameter of a proton. ... |
 Goodbye to batteries and power socketsA broken cable or a soiled connector? If a machine in a factory goes on strike, it could be for any of a thousand reasons. Self-sufficient sensors that provide their own power supply will soon make these machines ... |
