Neutralised Drift Compression Experiment-II
(Preview)
On the Road to Fusion Energy, an Accelerator to Study Warm Dense Matter The evolution of NDCX-II Warm dense matter exists not only in the interiors of gas giant planets but in other high-temperature, high-pressure regimes as well in a just-triggered nuclear bomb, for example, or when a fuel capsule...

Persistent Current
(Preview)
Physicists Measure Elusive 'Persistent Current' That Flows Forever Physicists at Yale University have made the first definitive measurements of "persistent current," a small but perpetual electric current that flows naturally through tiny rings of metal wire even without an exte...

High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program
(Preview)
Artificial ionosphere creates bullseye in the sky An experiment that fires powerful radio waves into the sky has created a patch of 'artificial ionosphere', mimicking the uppermost portion of Earth's atmosphere. The research has not only caused glowing dots to appear around these patches - it co...

Spallation Neutron Source
(Preview)
The US Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron Source, located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has generated its first neutrons.
Research conducted at the SNS will lay the groundwork for the next generation of materials research. Scientists believe that the greatly improved ability t...

Perfect imaging
(Preview)
Title: Perfect imaging without negative refraction Authors: Ulf Leonhardt Perfect imaging has been believed to rely on negative refraction, but here we show that an ordinary positively refracting optical medium may form perfect images as well. In particular, we establish a mathematical proof...

Zeplin-III
(Preview)
A small group of British physicists, working a mile underground in a north England potash mine, are taking on the world's biggest and most expensive particle accelerator in a race to find the universes most elusive substance. Working with a tiny budget, the team of British researchers have built a m...

Congruent number problem
(Preview)
A Trillion Triangles Mathematicians from North America, Europe, Australia, and South America have resolved the first one trillion cases of an ancient mathematics problem. The advance was made possible by a clever technique for multiplying large numbers. The numbers involved are so enormous th...

Internal waves
(Preview)
Hidden waves pack a big punch Internal waves, which are prevalent in the oceans as well as in the atmosphere, are hidden from obvious view most of the time. But these colossal phenomena - a single wave can span 1,000 kilometres or more - can have profound effects on Earth's climate as well as on drilling...

A researcher from the University of Bath has found a new approach to an old geometric problem of modelling the most efficient way of packing shapes to form a foam. The discovery is not only making waves in the mathematical world, but could also lead to medical advances in creating hip replacements and...

Aluminium radioisotopes
(Preview)
Scientists have found a new way to time events in the early Solar System. Writing in the journal Science, they describe how aluminium radioisotopes can now offer precise timing of events 4.5 billion years ago. The study shows that the rate of decay of isotopes can now be relied upon to give accurate me...
