Achieving an important new capability in ultracold atomic gases, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute, a collaboration of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland, have created "synthetic" magnetic fields for ultracold gas atoms, in effect "tricking" neutral atoms into acting as if they are electrically charged particles subjected to a real magnetic field.
The 2009 "Millennium Science Forum" organized by Oxford Instruments was held at the British Embassy in Tokyo on Wednesday 11th November 2009.
The Millennium Science Forum was established in 1998 to promote ...
Oxford Instruments has collaborated with two World-class neutron scattering facilities, the ISIS Neutron Source (STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot) and the ILL neutron facility (Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble...
A University of Pittsburgh team overcame a major hurdle plaguing the development of nanomaterials such as those that could lead to more efficient catalysts used to produce hydrogen and render car exhaust less toxic. The ...
Single crystals of the mineral calcite -- the chief material in limestone -- are predictable, homogeneous and, well, a little boring. But scientists have long marveled at how biological crystals of calcite grow together with other organic materials to form, for example, shells and sea urchin spines.
Nuclear Power could solve our energy problems but it has rather nasty by-products: radioactive waste. And this does not only concern the old core rods whose disposal causes a lot of problems. Reactor operation also bring...
Is it possible to make even more compact digital memories for portable electronic devices and which consume even less energy? A team of CNRS and CEA researchers has recently demonstrated that it is feasible, thanks to a new class of materials known as multiferroics, which combine unusual electric and magnetic properties.
The concept of confinement is one of the central ideas in modern physics. The most famous example is that of quarks which bind together to form protons and neutrons. Now Prof. Bella Lake from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin tog...
Scientists at the University of Glasgow, in collaboration with colleagues from Edinburgh, Manchester, Southampton and York universities, have developed technology which will help microchip designers create future integrated circuits.
An experiment has confirmed that spinons, particle-like magnetic excitations, can be confined in a magnetic insulator similar to the way elementary quarks are confined within individual protons and neutrons. The finding,...
