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 -
Ultracold Experiments Heat Up Quantum Research
March 16, 2012 Physicists have experimentally demonstrated for the first time that atoms chilled to temperatures near absolute zero may behave like seemingly unrelated natural systems of vastly different scales, ... > full story -
Cold Atoms Simulate Graphene
March 15, 2012 Physicists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov from Manchester University were the first to isolate and identify graphene in 2004. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms, which form a ... > 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 -
Proposed Nuclear Clock May Keep Time With the Universe
March 8, 2012 A proposed new time-keeping system tied to the orbiting of a neutron around an atomic nucleus could have such unprecedented accuracy that it neither gains nor loses 1/20th of a second in 14 billion ... > full storyMore: -
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: -
First Spectroscopic Measurement of an Anti-Atom
March 7, 2012 Scientists have captured and held atoms of antihydrogen, a single antiproton orbited by a single positron. Now, by measuring antihydrogen's hyperfine structure, they have achieved another first in ... > full storyMore: -
Nanomanufacturing Using DNA Origami
March 7, 2012 In recent years, scientists have begun to harness DNA's powerful molecular machinery to build artificial structures at the nanoscale using the natural ability of pairs of DNA molecules to assemble ... > full story -
Elusive Higgs Boson May Nearly Be Cornered
March 7, 2012 New measurements indicate that the elusive Higgs boson may nearly be cornered. After analyzing the full data set from the Tevatron accelerator, which completed its last run in September 2011, the two ... > full story -
Nanomaterials: A Coating Protocol
March 5, 2012 A robust approach for preparing polymer-coated quantum dots may find use in a wide range of ... > full story
