Canadian Experiment to Track Space Radiation and Its Risks
December 20, 2012 — Space can be a potentially hazardous environment to live and work in, especially when it comes to radiation. Originating from violent storms on the Sun and galactic cosmic rays produced in distant ... > full story -
Science's Breakthrough of the Year: Discovery of the Higgs Boson
December 20, 2012 — The observation of an elusive sub-atomic particle, known as the Higgs boson, has been heralded by the journal Science as the most important scientific discovery of 2012. This particle, which was ... > full story -
Long-Wavelength Laser Will Take Better 'Fingerprints' of Medicines Than Chemical Analysis, Research Suggests
December 19, 2012 — A laser capable of working in the terahertz range – that of long-wavelength light from the far infrared to 1 millimeter – takes a better 'fingerprint' of, say, a drug under investigation, ... > full story -
Prehistoric Ghosts Revealing New Details: Synchrotron Helps Identify Previously Unseen Anatomy Preserved in Fossils
December 18, 2012 — Scientists have used synchrotron-based imaging techniques to identify previously unseen anatomy preserved in fossils. Their work on a 50-million-year-old lizard skin identified the presence of ... > full story -
Scientists Developing Quick Way to ID People Exposed to Ionizing Radiation
December 17, 2012 — A new study could lead to a blood test that detects if a person has been exposed to radiation, measures their dose, and separates people suffering from inflammation injuries -- all in a matter of ... > full story -
How White Dwarfs Mimic Black Holes
December 17, 2012 — Astronomers have revealed that bright X-ray flares in nearby galaxies, once assumed to indicate the presence of black holes, can in fact be produced by white dwarfs. They made the discovery by ... > full story -
Extending Einstein's Ideas: New Kind of Quantum Entanglement Demonstrated

Study Reveals a Remarkable Symmetry in Black Hole Jets
December 13, 2012 — Black holes range from modest objects formed when individual stars end their lives to behemoths billions of times more massive that rule the centers of galaxies. A new study using data from NASA's ... > full story -
Building Better Structural Materials
December 13, 2012 — When materials are stressed, they eventually change shape. Initially these changes are elastic, and reverse when the stress is relieved. When the material's strength is exceeded, the changes become ... > full story -
