- Hadron Collider's mysterious disappearing magnets
- It's beginning to seem that the Large Hadron Collider may never be able to produce the gargantuan amount of energy that caused many to fear it would create a world-ending black hole. The Times reports that the collider's magnets have been massively under performing....

- New physics as applied to solar tech
- Scientists at Los Alamos Lab in New Mexico have confirmed that it's possible for a single photon to create more than one electron. They have tracked the phenomenon in nanotech semiconductor crystals. This research can enable more efficient solar panels. The research shows a conventional solar cell...

- Quantum holographic storage: it works!
- Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated quantum holographic storage, shattering long-held assumptions about the information limits of matter. Moving into the sub-atomic realm, they permanently stored 35 bits in the quantum space surrounding a single electron. Moreover, the technique allows holograms to be "stacked" in 3 dimensions....

- Watching the nanoworld in 4-D
- Caltech researchers have developed a new technique named 4-D electron microscopy to capture images of atoms in real time. They claim that their 4-D microscope will revolutionize the way we look at the nanoworld. Caltech adds that Ahmed Zewail, winner of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and his colleagues,...

- Using lasers to watch electrons in action
- Canadian and U.S. scientists have used ultrafast lasers to take snapshots of electrons in action. The tools they've used work at a femtosecond time-scale -- a femtosecond lasts 10-15 seconds. But they want to observe the electron recollision process which occurs in the attosecond time-scale -- an attosecond is just...

- Nanoscale microscope on a chip
- New Scientist recently reported that a UK company is developing a microscope on a chip four times more powerful than the best scanning electron microscopes SEMs available today. The best SEMs have a resolution of 0.05 nanometer. This new one, which will be small enough to fit onto a fingertip,...

- 3-D images of a virus at half-nanometer resolution
- U.S. researchers have used a new technique named cryo-EM (short for 'Electron cryomicroscopy) to capture images of a virus at a resolution of 4.5 angstroms -- less than half of a nanometer. As said the lead researcher, 'This is the highest resolution ever achieved for a living organism of this...

- Electricity generated by bacteria?
- It will take years before bacteria can generate enough energy to generate electricity for transportation, homes or businesses, but researchers at the University of Minnesota studying bacteria have found a way to convert waste into electricity. They've discovered that riboflavin (also known as vitamin B-2) is responsible for much of...

- A one-atom thick billiard table
- A team of physicists at the University of California at Riverside UCR have found that graphene, which was isolated experimentally only less than three years ago, and which is a one-atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal rings, can act as an atomic-scale billiard table. They found that...
