The growth of international collaboration in science was underlined last December by the award of a contract to Dutch telecoms provider KPNQuest for a new transatlantic high-speed data link at 622 Mbp...
Joining the Pierre Auger Observatory in the long term will be ESA's Extreme Universe Space Observatory, which is scheduled to fly on the International Space Station from 2008.
Ordinary matter composed of baryons - essentially protons and neutrons - is responsible for only a tenth of the gravitation observed in the universe.
At its December meeting, CERN's governing Council decided on new measures to react to the increased costs that emerged last year for its future Large Hadron Collider.
CERN's new nuclear physics facility, REX-ISOLDE, was commissioned at the end of October, opening up new horizons for the laboratory's nuclear physics community.
Moscow's Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of the commissioning of its U10 proton synchrotron.
This facility is the next major step in the field and should be designed, built and operated as a fully international effort.
The extent of the damage suggested some kind of chain reaction in the tubes, with one implosion setting off the next. It happened as the detector was being refilled with water after routine maintena...
The measurements gave a value for an electroweak parameter that was three standard deviations higher than predicted by the Standard Model.
