No more late-night particle physics as OU broadcasts last programme Guardian Unlimited
In an era when TV screens slept overnight in a blanket of white electronic snow, before video recorders, DVDs or remote controls, the Open University started broadcasting its heady mixture of particle physics and high art to a mostly sleeping nation.
Physicists Detect Subatomic 'Top Quark' -- Without Its Antimatter Partner Science Daily
A group of 50 international physicists, led by UC Riverside's Ann Heinson, has detected for the first time a subatomic particle, the top quark, produced without the simultaneous production of its antimatter partner -- an extremely rare event. The heaviest known elementary particle, the top quark is one of the fundamental building blocks of nature and understood to be an ingredient of the nuclear
Samuel Devons, Professor Emeritus of Physics Columbia News
Samuel Devons, Professor Emeritus of Physics at Columbia University, died at age 92 on December 6, 2006, in Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York City. The son of an emigrant from Lithuania who became a rabbi, he was born in Bangor (Wales) on September 30, 1914. At age 16 he won a prestigious scholarship to Cambridge University's Trinity College, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1935 and his

Team Detects 'Top Quark,' a Basic Constituent of Matter PhysOrg
A group of 50 international physicists, led by UC Riverside`s Ann Heinson, has detected for the first time a subatomic particle, the top quark, produced without the simultaneous production of its antimatter partner - an extremely rare event. The discovery of the single top quark could help scientists better explain how the universe works and how objects acquire their mass, thereby assisting human

Creating monoenergetic electron beams on a tabletop PhysicsWeb
A physicist's fantasy of owning a "tabletop" particle accelerator has been brought one step closer to reality according to research done in France. The accelerator uses two laser pulses to drive an electric field, thus producing monoenergetic electron energies of up to 250 MeV. But unlike previous attempts, the electron beams are stable enough to have practical applications in areas such as
Beyond Silicon: New Transistor Technology May Power Next Microelectronic Devices Science Daily
MIT engineers have demonstrated a technology that could introduce an important new phase of the microelectronics revolution that has already brought us iPods, laptops and much more.
