At a meeting held in February at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced that an international steering committee would be set up t...
The European Union funded DataGrid project passed its first-year review at the beginning of March.
The Spanish government gave the green light in March to a project to build a synchrotron light source near Barcelona.
The first of eight 25 m coil casings for the ATLAS experiment's barrel toroid magnet system arrived at CERN in March by road from Germany.
So many exciting discoveries have been made using the Hubble Space Telescope that it seems much longer than 12 years since its launch. This run is now being extended thanks to a successful servicing m...
Two white dwarf stars have entered the record books with the fastest orbital period known for any stellar system. It takes just 5 min for these two Earth-sized stars to orbit each other – that...
Lyman alpha emission has been detected from a galaxy of redshift z = 6.56. If confirmed, this discovery pushes back the limits of when reionization could have occurred in the early universe. The dista...
Particle physicists involved in the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment are eagerly scanning data recorded during a December 2001 NASA space shuttle mission.
The team, which includes physicists from Michigan and Indiana in the US, IHEP-Protvino in Russia and KEK in Japan, has charmed a string of magnets known as a Siberian snake to spin-flip stored protons...
