New Particle Discovered at CERN
April 27, 2012 Physicists have discovered a previously unknown particle composed of three quarks in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator. A new baryon could thus be detected for the first time at ... > full story -
Seeing Inside the Nose of an Aircraft
April 26, 2012 The "radar dome," the rounded nose of the aircraft contains important equipment that pilots need to monitor. If errors occur during the production of this "nose," -- tiny foreign particles, drops of ... > full story -
Molecule Movements That Make Us Think: Ion Channel’s Voltage Sensor Can Change Its Form
April 24, 2012 Every thought, every movement, every heartbeat is controlled by lightning-quick electrical impulses in the brain, the muscles, and the heart. But too much electrical excitability in the membranes of ... > full story -
Toward a Test Strip for Detecting TNT and Other Explosives in Water
March 28, 2012 Scientists have developed a new explosives detector that can sense small amounts of TNT and other common explosives in liquids instantly with a sensitivity that rivals bomb-sniffing dogs, the current ... > full story -
Ethical Considerations of Military-Funded Neuroscience
March 20, 2012 The United States military and intelligence communities have developed a close relationship with the scientific establishment. In particular, they fund and utilize an array of neuroscience ... > full story -
Camera Peers Around Corners: New Imaging System Uses Opaque Walls, Doors or Floors as 'Mirrors'
March 20, 2012 A new imaging system could use opaque walls, doors or floors as "mirrors" to gather information about scenes outside its line of ... > full story -
Icarus Experiment Measures Neutrino Speed: Even Neutrinos Are Not Faster Than Light
March 16, 2012 The ICARUS experiment at the Italian Gran Sasso laboratory has reported a new measurement of the time of flight of neutrinos from CERN to Gran Sasso. The ICARUS measurement, using last year's short ... > full story -
Researchers Send 'Wireless' Message Using a Beam of Neutrinos
March 14, 2012 Scientists have for the first time sent a message using a beam of neutrinos -- nearly massless particles that travel at almost the speed of light. The message was sent through 240 meters of stone and ... > full story -
Nanotube Technology Leading to New Era of Fast, Lower-Cost Medical Diagnostics
March 9, 2012 Researchers have tapped into the extraordinary power of carbon "nanotubes" to increase the speed of biological sensors, a technology that might one day allow a doctor to routinely perform lab tests ... > full story -
Daya Bay: Discovery of New Kind of Neutrino Transformation
March 8, 2012 The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment collaboration has announced a precise measurement of the last of the unsolved neutrino "mixing angles," which determine how neutrinos oscillate among ... > full storyMore:
