Shielding for ambitious neutron experimentIn science fiction stories it is either the inexhaustible energy source of the future or a superweapon of galactic magnitude: antimaterial. In fact, antimaterial can neither be found on Earth nor in space, is extremely complex ... |
Physicists Discover New Particle: the Bottom-most 'Bottomonium'(PhysOrg.com) -- Thirty years ago, particle physics delighted in discovering the "bottomonium" family—the set of particles that contain both a bottom quark and an anti-bottom quark but are bound together with different energies. ... |
 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. |
 Not a Quirk But a Quark ... a Quark Star!Astronomers recently announced that they have found a novel explanation for a rare type of super-luminous stellar explosion that may have produced a new type of object known as a quark star. |
 Heart of the Crab Pulsar probed -- first direct look into the core of a neutron starNew information about the heart of one of the most famous objects in the sky -- the Crab Pulsar in the Crab Nebula -- has been revealed by an international team of scientists searching for gravitational waves. ... |
 IU Physicists to get their 'glue-on'Indiana University physicists, with the backing of a National Science Foundation grant of $750,000, are preparing to study the strongest glue in the universe -- a glue so strong that it has held together the ... |
Why matter matters in the universeA new physics discovery explores why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. The latest research findings, which involved significant contributions from physicists at the University of Melbourne, have been recently ... |
MIT physicist to describe strange world of quarks, gluonsOne of the great theoretical challenges facing physicists is understanding how the tiniest elementary particles give rise to most of the mass in the visible universe. |
American Institute of Physics announces awards for best science writingThe American Institute of Physics (AIP) announced the winners of its 2007 Science Writing Awards today. The winners -- a scientist, a journalist, a children's book author, and three radio broadcasters -- will receive a prize ... |
Latest Supercomputer Calculations Support the Six-Quark TheoryA new calculation, reported in the January 25, 2008 issue of Physical Review Letters, confirms the six-quark theory of particle-anti-particle asymmetry. This is the first complete calculation of this phenomenon to ... |
 Protons - Everything Revolves Around SpinCurrent understanding of the spin structure of protons has been summarised in a single book for the first time. The book examines attempts to solve one of the greatest puzzles of physics. Models and experiments ... |
 'Yes, Virginia, physics can be fun!'Since the release of a 1983 report commissioned by the federal government, Americans have been aware of a significant decrease in the number of US students pursuing studies and careers in the sciences and ... |
 Study: Dark matter in newborn universe doused earliest stars“Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes” – The Grateful Dead, 1967. Perhaps the first stars in the newborn universe did not shine, but instead were invisible “dark stars” 400 to 200,000 times ... |
Large Hadron Collider: VELO -- in you go!One of the most fragile detectors for the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment has been successfully installed in its final position. LHCb is one of four large experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), ... |
FAIR particle accelerator kick-off eventNuclear physicists from around the world are today celebrating the official launch of the particle accelerator FAIR with a gala event and a scientific symposium. The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research is being set up ... |
