CERN Particle Detector: ATLAS Completes World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle
February 29, 2008 — Today the ATLAS collaboration at CERN celebrates the lowering of its last large detector element. The ATLAS detector is the world's largest general-purpose particle detector, measuring 46 metres ... > full story -
Graphite Whiskers, Rather Than Dark Energy, Could Explain Dimness Of Stellar Explosions
February 28, 2008 — Interstellar space may be strewn with tiny whiskers of carbon, dimming the light of far-away objects. This discovery may have implications for the "dark energy" hypothesis, proposed a decade ago in ... > full story -
Physicists Search For Dark Matter Deep In Minnesota Mine
February 28, 2008 — Physicists have built the world's most sensitive WIMP detectors in an attempt to catch some of those mysterious particles of dark matter. Running a clearn-room laboratory a half-mile underground in ... > full story -
Crystal Bells Stay Silent As Physicists Look For Dark Matter
February 25, 2008 — Scientists of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment have announced that they have set the world's best constraints on the properties of dark matter candidates. WIMPs, or weakly interacting ... > full story -
Astronomers Discover Largest-Ever Dark Matter Structures Spanning 270M Light-Years
February 21, 2008 — Astronomer have discovered the largest structures of dark matter ever seen. Measuring 270 million light-years across, these dark matter structures criss-cross the night sky, each spanning an area ... > full story -
Venus Has Extraordinarily Changeable And Extremely Large-Scale Weather
February 21, 2008 — Venus Express has revealed a planet of extraordinarily changeable and extremely large-scale weather. Bright hazes appear in a matter of days, reaching from the south pole to the low southern ... > full story -
New Telescopes Planned For Moon
February 19, 2008 — NASA has selected a proposal by an MIT-led team to develop plans for an array of radio telescopes on the far side of the moon that would probe the earliest formation of the basic structures of the ... > full story -
Saturn's Mingling Moons May Share A Dark Past
February 19, 2008 — Despite the incredible diversity of Saturn's icy moons, theirs is a story of great interaction. Some of them are pock-marked, some seemingly dirty, others pristine, one spongy, one two-faced, some ... > full story -
Experiment Tightens Limits On Dark Matter: Physicists Revive Bubble Chamber Technology To Search For WIMPs
February 14, 2008 — Scientists working on the COUPP experiment at DOE's Fermilab have announced a new development in the quest to observe dark matter. The experiment tightened constraints on "spin-dependent" properties ... > full story -
Hubble Finds Strong Contender For Galaxy Distance Record
February 12, 2008 — The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with a boost from a natural "zoom lens," has found the strongest evidence so far for a galaxy with a redshift significantly above 7. It is likely to be one of the ... > full story
