Atom smasher set for high speed bash by early April: CERN Geneva (AFP) March 10, 2010 
The world's most powerful atom smasher will be brought up to unprecedented power by early April, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research said on Wednesday.
"We hope to have collisions at 7.0 TeV (teraelectronvolts) at the end of March or the beginning of April," CERN spokesman James Gillies told AFP.

Berkeley CA (SPX) Mar 11, 2010An analysis of more than 70,000 galaxies by University of California, Berkeley, University of Zurich and Princeton University physicists demonstrates that the universe - at least up to a distance of 3.5 billion light years from Earth - plays by the rules set out 95 years ago by Albert Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity. By calculating the clustering of these galaxies, which stret ... more

How Black Holes May Shape Galaxies
Boston MA (SPX) Mar 09, 2010New observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory provide evidence for powerful winds blowing away from the vicinity of a supermassive black hole in a nearby galaxy. This discovery indicates that "average" supermassive black holes may play an important role in the evolution of the galaxies in which they reside. For years, astronomers have known that a supermassive black hole grows in ... more From 2-Trillion-Degree Heat, Researchers Create New Matter 
College Station TX (SPX) Mar 08, 2010A worldwide team of researchers, including 10 from Texas A and M University, have for the first time created a particle that is believed to have been in existence immediately after the creation of the universe - the so-called "Big Bang" - and it could lead to new questions and answers about some of the basic laws of physics because in essence, it creates a new form of matter. Researchers C ... more First Observation Of T2K Neutrino Event At Super-Kamiokande 
Kamiokande, Japan (SPX) Mar 01, 2010UK particle physicists working on the multinational T2K project, which is designed to detect some of the least understood particles in the universe, have helped track their first neutrino which has travelled 185 miles (295 km) under Japan. The detection of the neutrino as it passed from the East to the West of the country means the study of the mysterious phenomenon of neutrino oscillation ... more World's most powerful atom smasher restarts: CERN 
Geneva (AFP) Feb 28, 2010Scientists have restarted the world's most powerful atom-smasher overnight, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) said Sunday, as they launch a new bid to uncover the secrets of the universe. "The LHC is on its way again. First beam of 2010 circulated in each direction by 04.10 CET (0310 GMT)," said CERN in a tweet on its website on Sunday. The 3.9 billion euro (5.6 billi ... more |

Turbulent times ahead in Year of Tiger: soothsayers
Hong Kong (AFP) Feb 12, 2010US President Barack Obama's fortunes will sink further and nuclear threats will grow, but the world economy will bounce back in the turbulent Year of the Tiger, Chinese soothsayers predict. "Obama will start going downhill this year. He will not be able to achieve much," said Peter So, one of Hong Kong's celebrity feng shui masters peering into the future as the Lunar New Year rolls around o ... more Atom Smasher To Jump Straight To Maximum Energy 
Moscow, Russia (RIA Novosti) Feb 09, 2010The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will jump straight to its maximum energy without any medium-energy proton collisions, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has said on its website. Experts, who gathered in Chamonix last week, revised the previous schedule according to which first physicists at the LHC were to switch to medium-energy beam collisions of 10 TeV this summer, fo ... more Newborn Black Holes Boost Explosive Power of Supernovae 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Feb 05, 2010An international team of scientists, including two astronomers from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., have observed a supernova with peculiar radio emission. In the Jan. 28 issue of Nature, the team - led by Zsolt Paragi of the Joint Institute for Very Long Baseline Interferometry in Europe, or JIVE - reveals new details of these highly energetic explosions. Supernov ... more Aluminum Ion Drives Most Precise Quantum Logic Clock Ever 
Boulder CO (SPX) Feb 05, 2010Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built an enhanced version of an experimental atomic clock based on a single aluminum atom that is now the world's most precise clock, more than twice as precise as the previous pacesetter based on a mercury atom. The new aluminum clock would neither gain nor lose one second in about 3.7 billion years, according to ... more |
