Physicists of the DZero experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have discovered a new heavy particle, the Îb (pronounced…
Using a robotic telescope at the ESO La Silla Observatory, astronomers have for the first time measured the velocity of the explosions known as gamma-ray…
An artificial, laser-fed star now shines regularly over the sky of Paranal, home of ESO's Very Large Telescope, one of the world's most advanced large…
Much like the conveyor belt in a production plant, NPL’s electron surf machine delivers electrons one by one in a reliable steady stream at a rate of more than…
They have used microtechnology to study individual cell divisions as their environment changes. Based on observations of a great many cells, the researchers…
Then imagine that galaxy encountering its identical twin. The first galaxy merges with the second to produce a galaxy that's even grander and greater….
Key distribution—the problem of ensuring that both the sender and receiver of an encrypted message (and no one else) share the same long string of random…
As reported in a recent paper,* the device is a type of “non-volatile” memory, meaning stored information is not lost when the device is without power….
Today, researchers at CNRS have taken another step forward on the road leading to this ultimate goal. They have revealed the metallic nature of a class of…
To observe the motion of an electron – an elementary particle with a mass that is one billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a gram – has been considered…
Publication of this remarkable effect shortly follows previous results, presented in Physical Review Letters, in which scientist of Twente and Stanford explain…
The ARTES 4 initiative is aimed at supporting close to market developments within industry. Developments within this ARTES 4 project are part of the wider GMP…
Very precise time keeps the Internet and e-mail functioning, ensures television broadcasts arrive at our TVs and is integral to a network of global navigation…
On 14 January 2005, after a seven-year voyage on board the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft, ESA’s Huygens probe spent 2 hours and 28 minutes descending by…
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has fascinated physicists and generated debate about the origin of the universe and the structure of objects…
The mixture they study shares properties of many everyday materials — like toothpaste, saliva, blood, and cell cytoplasm — which do not fall into the…
