Quantum Chromodynamics QCI is a difficult theory to calculate. The first reported discovery in this field of a particle bya computer arouses fresh interest in the study of strong interactions

Researchers at the Palomar Observatory, Caltech, USA, have recently reported the coolest brown dwarf with the lowest mass. Brown dwarves are star-like objects which have a mass less than 0.08

'Glueballs' are hypothetical nuclear particles that have eluded researchers for decades. If at all they exist, they are too short-lived to be observed directly. Now, after solving one million

The Bubble Space Telescope team at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has recently released the most detailed pictures or optical images of the universe ever seen. The

The six year long wait for the Galileo trip to Jupiter started paying off scientific returns last fortnight, as the data sent by the probe was analysed and NASA scientists released the first results

Why are we and the universe around us made of matter and not antimatter? Scientists at last create antimatter particles to lead us on to a journey of queries about the :nti world'

The Hubble Space Telescope's position above the earth's atmosphere enables it to provide clearer pictures of the heavens. Now, with the first integrated test of adaptive

Launched about five years ago, the spacecraft Ulysses has provided valuable information about the sun. Last year, it swung past the sun's south pole and into the ecliptic plane (the

One of the challenges facing image processors has been the reconstruction of a three dimensional (3-D) image of human face from photographs. Recent work by J J Atick and others at

A Japanese experiment in thefield of neutrino detection has come as manna for physicists and cosmologists, opening before them immense possibilities offinally disentangling some of the most enduringpuzzles which hamper our understanding of nature
