Syracuse physicists aid in discovery of subatomic process
May 19, 2015 (SPX)
Physicists in Syracuse University's College of Arts and Sciences have helped discover a rare subatomic process. Their findings, featured in the current issue of...
Measurement of a single nuclear spin in biological samples
May 15, 2015 (SPX)
Physicists of the University of Basel and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute were able to show for the first time that the nuclear spins of single molecules can be...
Probing the secrets of the universe inside a metal box
May 15, 2015 (SPX)
The Standard Model of particle physics, sometimes called "The Theory of Almost Everything," is the best set of equations to date that describes the universe's f...
The weakest magnetic field in the solar system
May 15, 2015 (SPX)
Magnetic fields easily penetrate matter. Creating a space practically devoid of magnetic fields thus presents a great challenge. An international team of physic...
NSF and CERN sign new partnership for finding particles
May 14, 2015 (SPX)
A new agreement between the United States and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) will pave the way for renewed collaboration in particle phys...
Quantum mechanical helium trio
May 09, 2015 (SPX)
In 1970, Vitaly Efimov analysed a three-body quantum system in which the attraction between two bodies reduced such that they become unbound. His prediction was...
Zooming in on an individual orbiting electron
May 09, 2015 (SPX)
The microwave oven has been around for almost 80 years. When it heats food or liquid, the frequency of electrons increases but their energy slows down due to th...
AKARI far-infrared all-sky data released
May 09, 2015 (ESA)
The AKARI space telescope's far-infrared all-sky image data are now available to researchers everywhere. The new all-sky maps have four to five times better spa...
Quantum-mechanical monopoles discovered
May 09, 2015 (SPX)
Researchers at Aalto University (Finland) and Amherst College (USA) have observed a point-like monopole in a quantum field itself for the first time. This disco...
Bringing high-energy particle detection in from the cold
May 07, 2015 (SPX)
Radiation detectors, which monitor high-energy particles such as those produced by nuclear decay and cosmic radiation, are being used increasingly in medical im...
Attosecond physics: A new gateway to the microcosmos
May 07, 2015 (SPX)
Ludwig Maximilians Universitaet (LMU) in Munich physicists at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics have developed a new laser-light source that will lead to si...
Cyclotron radiation from single electrons measured directly for first time
May 05, 2015 (SPX)
A year before Albert Einstein came up with the special theory of relativity, or E=mc2, physicists predicted the existence of something else: cyclotron radiation...
Towards the realization of a global neutrino infrastructure
May 05, 2015 (SPX)
The agency1 representatives and laboratory directors2 gathered at the 2nd International Meeting on Large Neutrino Infrastructures3 hosted at Fermilab on 20-21 A...
NASA's Chandra Suggests Black Holes Gorging at Excessive Rates
May 05, 2015 (SPX)
A group of unusual giant black holes may be consuming excessive amounts of matter, according to a new study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This finding...
First proton collisions should start in early June
May 01, 2015 (SPX)
First collisions of protons at the world's largest science experiment are expected to start the first or second week of June, according to a senior research sci...
Game theory elucidates the collective behavior of bosons
May 01, 2015 (SPX)
Quantum particles behave in strange ways and are often difficult to study experimentally. Using mathematical methods drawn from game theory, physicists of Ludwi...
Astrophysicists draw most comprehensive map of the universe
Apr 29, 2015 (SPX)
Astrophysicists have created a 3D map of the universe that spans nearly two billion light years and is the most complete picture of our cosmic neighbourhood to ...
Is the universe a hologram
Apr 28, 2015 (SPX)
At first glance, there is not the slightest doubt: to us, the universe looks three dimensional. But one of the most fruitful theories of theoretical physics in ...
Deep Space Atomic Clock On Time For 2016 Mission
Apr 28, 2015 (JPL)
As the saying goes, timing is everything. More so in 21st-century space exploration where navigating spacecraft precisely to far-flung destinations - say, to Ma...
Ultra-sensitive sensor detects individual electrons
Apr 28, 2015 (SPX)
A Spanish-led team of European researchers at the University of Cambridge has created an electronic device so accurate that it can detect the charge of a single...
