Fermilab's observations of large numbers of hard and violent collisions in an accelerator brings the revered Standard Model of particle physics under re evaluation
Astronomers on the lookout claim to be finally on target with their observation of what appears to be an old isolated neutron star. This discovery might serve to throw more light on the evolutionary processes of galaxies in general and neutron stars, in p
While the conflicting theories and functions to explain the phenomenon of high temperature superconductivity point to scientists' continuing fascination with this field, IBM researchers zero in on the d wave function as a plausible enumeration
Quark, thought to be the simplest building block of nuclear matter, may contain still smaller building blocks, as suggested by scientists working at Fermilab's huge particle accelerator near
Opinions on Jupiter's evolution have undergone a revision, following the data sent by the Galileo probe. Previous measurements had suggested that Jupiter contained about 10 times more oxygen
With funds for mega accelerator projects drying up, particle physicists are increasingly turning their attention heavenwards. A 15-institution collaboration at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
The faintest and the most distant objects in the heavens no longer remain invincible with the introduction of the powerful Keck Telescope, the biggest optical instrument of its kind in the world, into the arsenal of astronomers. An improved version, the K
Brought about by scientists of the Laboratoire de Chimie des Metaux de Transition in Paris, synthesisation of a new magnetic compound with potential uses in memory devices is the latest in the field of material science
Analysis of the moleular orientation of spider dragline silk by CorneIl University researchers offers material science the chance to make use of this high performance fibre of nature. The silk's elasticity, strength and energy have long aroused the intere
