That the World Wide Web - invented at CERN - has revolutionized the world of business is clear. Less well known is the lab's continuing role in transferring Web-based technology to industry. Finnish ...
Faced with the difficulty of doing exact calculations, theorists are turning to approximation techniques to understand and predict what happens at the quark level.
Personal computers are steadily making inroads into some specialist and very impersonal fields.
Advances in physics go hand in hand with those in experimental techniques, and increasingly so with progress in computing and analysis. A recent workshop at Fermilab surveyed this fast-developing ar...
Plans for the next generation of network-based information-handling systems took a major step forward when the European Union's Fifth Framework Information Society Technologies programme concluded ne...
This book is designed to be accessible by those who do not necessarily have a background in quantum physics.
After achieving first collisions of gold ion beams on the night of 12 June, the gleaming new Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility at Brookhaven wasted no time in ramping up in energy and i...
The Grid, a highly distributed computing environment that is seen by many as a step beyond the World Wide Web, is catalysing many new computing developments.
