Neutron scientists are tackling the challenge of cosmic radiation and its damaging effect on sensitive microchips in the aviation industry in the drive to develop more robust electronic equipment. Accelerated testing of microelectronic components at the Science and Technology Facilities Council's (STFC) world leading ISIS neutron research centre replicates the effect of thousands of hours of flying time in just a few minutes.

 | Scientists working on the COUPP experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have announced a new development in the quest to observe dark matter. The Chicagoland Observatory for Underground Particle Physics experiment tightened constraints on the "spin-dependent" properties of WIMPS, weakly interacting massive particles that are candidates for dark matter. Their results, combined with the findings of other dark matter searches, contradict the claims for the observation of such particles by the Dark Matter experiment (DAMA) in Italy and further restrict the hunting ground for physicists to track their dark matter quarry. ...> Full Article |

 | The sale of opals contributes $500 million to the Australian economy each year, yet up until now, finding the buried treasures has largely been a question of luck and perseverance for miners. A new technique capitalizes on natural radiation emitted by the opals to dramatically improve the detection process. ...> Full Article |

 | We've all been taught that our bodies, the Earth, and in fact all matter in the universe is composed of tiny building blocks called atoms. Now imagine if this weren't the case. This mind-bending concept is at the core of the scientific research that researchers all over the world—are pursuing. ...> Full Article |
