Any child can tell you that a magnet has a “north” and a “south” pole, and that if you break it into two pieces, you invariably get two smaller magnets with two poles of their own. But scientists have spent the better part of the last eight decades trying to find, in essence, a magnet with only one pole. A team working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has found one.
Calculations at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics and the Vienna University of Technology (Institute for Theoretical Physics) have now shown that high-energy heavy ion collisions at large particle accelerators are suitable as light sources for the desired single and double pulses. This is due to the remarkable properties of quark-gluon plasmas.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize 2009 in Physics for two scientific achievements that have helped to shape the foundations of today's networked societies. It has been awarded...

ISO 6892-1:2009, the latest International Standard (ISO 6892-1:2009) for testing metals (Metallic materials -- Tensile testing -- Part 1: Method of test at room temperature) has been released. It can be downloaded from t...
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have been able to confirm the production of the superheavy element 114, ten years after a group in Russia, at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, first claimed to have made it. The search for 114 has long been a key part of the quest for nuclear science's hoped-for Island of Stability.
Flasks, beakers, and hot plates may soon be a thing of the past in medicinal chemistry labs. Instead of handling a few experiments on a benchtop, scientists may simply pop a microchip into a computer and instantly run th...
