Tin-100, a doubly magic nucleus
Jun 25, 2012 (SPX)
Stable tin, as we know it, comprises 112 nuclear particles - 50 protons and 632 neutrons. The neutrons act as a kind of buffer between the electrically repellin...
CERN to give update on search for 'God-particle'
Jun 22, 2012 (AFP)
The European Organisation for Nuclear Research said Friday it may announce next month whether tests with its atom-smasher have found the elusive "God particle"....
Neutrons escaping to a parallel world?
Jun 20, 2012 (SPX)
In a paper recently published in EPJ C, researchers hypothesised the existence of mirror particles to explain the anomalous loss of neutrons observed experiment...
Announcement of Higgs boson find imminent?
Jun 20, 2012 (UPI)
One of the most anticipated announcements in science could be imminent, that the Higgs boson may finally, really have been discovered, physicists say. Scientist...
Black Holes as Particle Detectors
Jun 20, 2012 (SPX)
Finding new particles usually requires high energies - that is why huge accelerators have been built, which can accelerate particles to almost the speed of ligh...
Princeton scientists observe electrons become both heavy and speedy
Jun 18, 2012 (SPX)
A Princeton University-led team of scientists has shown how electrons moving in certain solids can behave as though they are a thousand times more massive than ...
NuSTAR opens out of this world view thanks to Lab technology
Jun 14, 2012 (SPX)
For astrophysicist Bill Craig and his team, NASA's NuSTAR will open up a whole new world. In fact, NuSTAR will allow them to observe a new class of objects in s...
No evidence for 'knots' in space
Jun 14, 2012 (SPX)
Theories of the primordial Universe predict the existence of knots in the fabric of space - known as cosmic textures - which could be identified by looking at l...
Successful launch for NASA's 'black hole hunter' telescope
Jun 13, 2012 (AFP)
A sophisticated orbiting telescope that uses high-energy X-ray vision to hunt for black holes in the universe launched on Wednesday after an aircraft-to-rocket ...
Breaking the limits of classical physics
Jun 11, 2012 (SPX)
With simple arguments, researchers show that nature is complicated! Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have made a simple experiment that demonstrates th...
How black holes change gear
Jun 11, 2012 (SPX)
Black holes are extremely powerful and efficient engines that not only swallow up matter, but also return a lot of energy to the Universe in exchange for the ma...
