A New Type of Physics Revealed by the Smallest Sub-Atomic Particle 2008-03-11 20:43:54 A new particle, dubbed particle X, may mediate the rare decay of a Sigma-plus hyperon (a sub-atomic particle) and appears to have close affiliations with a light Higgs boson encountered in one supersymmetric model, a clear proof for physics beyond the standard model (SM).
The researchers from the National Taiwan University, University of La Verne [...] Read more:Physics

Super Thin Mirror for Even Smaller and Pliable Laser Optics 2008-03-11 20:43:49 The size and efficiency of future devices relying on laser optics (like DVD players, computer circuits and laser printers) could be highly improved by a novel high-performance mirror developed by a team at University of California, Berkeley.
This mirror has the same 99.9 % reflective punch as high-grade mirrors, named distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs), but [...] Read more:Super

Metal That Remembers and Returns to The Original Shape 2008-03-16 00:26:48 Everybody knows that a piece of metal, once bent, is impossible to be reverted to its original state.
But, a recent study revealed that, when heat is added to bent metal films having the right microstructure, the films
return to their original shapes. The higher the temperature, the sooner the metal films revert. “It’s as [...] Read more:Metal

New Biodegradable Plastic Made of Feathers 2008-03-16 00:26:45 The problem of the plastic contamination could be solved by biodegradable polymers made of poultry feathers, a solution that would also decrease costs in poultry industry.
Only in the US over 29
million tons of non-biodegradable plastic waste reach the landfills yearly. “12 % of all plastic packaging ends up in landfills because only a [...] Read more:Plastic

A New Fish-Like Airship 2008-03-16 00:26:38 A Swiss team has created a new model of blimp that swims through the air like a fish.
The fish-mimicking
airship employs artificial muscles fabricated from electroactive polymers (EAPs) to move itself forward.
The unique silent non-rigid airship employs its artificial muscles to power through the air like a tuna swimming in the ocean. [...]
Brightest Synthetic Fluorescent Particles Ever 2008-03-16 00:26:35 Fluorescence is a luminescence that is mostly found as an optical phenomenon in cold bodies, in which the molecular absorption of a photon triggers the emission of another photon with a longer wavelength.
The energy difference between the absorbed and emitted photons ends up as molecular vibrations or heat. Usually the absorbed photon is in the [...] Read more:Synthetic

How Does the Earth’s Core Produce the Planet’s Magnetic Field? 2008-03-16 00:26:31 It is known that the Earth
’s molten metal core fuels a magnetic field.
Now, a team has generated similar self-sustaining fields
even when the flow is highly turbulent.
The new approach is a closer simulation of the Earth’s dynamo than other experiments as the fluid flows freely in a large tank and is not channeled [...] Read more:Field
Could Cold Fusion Be Possible ? 2008-03-16 00:26:28 In March 1989, cold fusion was brought into popular consciousness by the controversy surrounding the Fleischmann-Pons experiment, when “cold fusion” was hailed as a scientific
breakthrough with the potential to solve the world’s energy problems by providing a virtually unlimited energy source.
It was dismissed by some scientists as “bad” science due to alleged errors [...] Read more:Possible
Closer to Absolute Zero 2008-03-16 00:26:26 Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, occurring when no heat energy remains in a substance.
It is the point at which
molecules do not move (relative to the rest of the body) more than they are required to by a quantum mechanical effect called zero-point energy. By international agreement, absolute zero is defined as [...] Read more:Absolute
World’s Largest Particle Accelerator Unveiled 2008-03-16 00:26:20 A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically charged particles to high speeds and to contain them. An ordinary CRT television set is a simple form of accelerator.
There are two basic types: linear (in a straight-line) accelerators and circular accelerators.
In a linear accelerator (linac), particles are accelerated in [...] Read more:World

Xenon and the Electric Breakdown 2008-03-16 00:26:16 An electric arc is an electrical breakdown of
a gas which produces an ongoing plasma discharge, similar to the instant spark, resulting from a current flowing through normally nonconductive media such as air. An archaic term is voltaic arc as used in the phrase “voltaic arc lamp”.
Whether it’s a lightning bolt or the spark inside [...] Read more:Electric
High-Tech Hardware on New York City Taxi Cabs 2008-03-22 21:11:01 From now on, riding in a cab in NYC will be a pleasure for most clients, with the introduction of the touch-screen monitors. Officials from the taxi companies say that an average taxi ride in NY takes 13 minutes, so why not make the most of it?

Future Airliners: More Comfortable, Resistant and Made of Plastic 2008-03-22 21:10:50 It may take as little as ten years for the airplanes on long, international flights to be made more out of plastic than metal. The most modern aircrafts of today are made of aluminum, a light but strong material than can be easily obtained from natural compound.

Radical Engine Redesign Reduces Fuel Consumption by 20 Percent 2008-03-22 21:10:44 In a normal internal combustion engine, the movement of the pistons turns the crankshaft, which is linked to a camshaft that opens and closes the valves, directing the flow of air and exhaust into and out of the cylinders.
A new computational model greatly increases the engine performance from one combustion cycle to the next [...] Read more:Radical
