- Extreme physics at the ends of the earth (New Scientist)
Anil Ananthaswamy visits some of the bleakest locations on Earth to explore the most tantalising mysteries of the cosmos in The Edge of Physics - Video: Extreme physics (New Scientist)
Check out video of Anil Ananthaswamy's journeys to some of the world's most extreme locales where physics experiments are under way - Rewrite of Physics by Einstein on Display (New York Times)
For the first time, the complete, original manuscript of the theory of relativity, profoundly human and surprisingly moving to examine, has been put on display in Jerusalem. - Physics graduate student named a Soros fellow (Cornell News Service)
Filipino-American graduate student Philip Tanedo has been awarded a Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans. A second-year Ph.D. student in theoretical particle physics, Tanedo, 25, was one of 30 awardees named earlier this month. - The Physics of an Inclined Treadmill [Starts With A Bang] (ScienceBlogs)
A bad day for your ego is a great day for your soul. -Jillian Michaels One of the most popular exercises at the gym is the treadmill. And why wouldn't it be? Whether you're running or walking, it's a great way to get your heart rate up, get your body moving, and for many people, a great way to burn calories. But however you use a treadmill, there's one extremely simple thing you can do to ... - Nuclear weapons physics: Welcome to the Atomic Weapons Establishment (Nature)
With the launch of a powerful laser facility, Britain's most secretive lab is opening up to academics. Geoff Brumfiel secures a preview. - A rescue plan for UK physics funding (Nature)
Research council faces restructuring to resolve financial woes. - On the 8th Day, God made Pi [Dot Physics] (ScienceBlogs)
Pi day is March 14th - get it? (3.14) I am a big fan of Pi. Here is my first post to celebrate the awesomeness of Pi (I know this is early, but I was too excited to wait). How can you determine Pi? Oh sure, tons of high schools do the classic experiment. Measure the circumference and diameter of as many round things as possible. Plot diameter vs. circumference. The slope will be Pi. Really, this ... - Cryogenic electron emission phenomenon has no known physics explanation (PhysOrg)
(PhysOrg.com) -- At very cold temperatures, in the absence of light, a photomultiplier will spontaneously emit single electrons. The phenomenon, which is called "cryogenic electron emission," was first observed nearly 50 years ago. Although scientists know of a few causes for electron emission without light (also called the dark rate) - including heat, an electric field, and ionizing radiation ... - Large Hadron Collider could "open door to new physics by yearend" (Russian Information Agency Novosti)
The world's largest particle accelerator could provide key insights into the makeup of matter and change our view of physics as early as at the end of 2010. |
