Mountain secrets: deep beneath the Gran Sasso massif in Italy, the Xenon experiments may soon reveal the truth about the existence of dark matter.

A team of physicists from IIT-Delhi is conducting a five-day workshop to teach the subject to madrasa instructors in Taleemabad, near Jamia Hamdard.

Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics , Vol. 32, No. 13. , L325, doi:10.1088/0953-4075/32/13/106 Fluorescence emission of the N 2 + and N 2 + states has been investigated after resonant excitation of the N 2 resonance with monochromatized synchrotron radiation.

Associated Press/Kyodo News The inside of nuclear research lab J-PARC is seen in Tokaimura, Ibaraki prefecture, Saturday, May 25.

Chemical Physics Letters , Vol. 425, No. 4-6. , pp. 185-190, doi:10.1016/j.cplett.2006.05.001 The resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization spectra of SF radicals have been recorded in the single-photon wavelength region of 271-286 nm for the first time.

A nuclear research lab in northern Japan has reported a radiation leak that may have affected 55 people, though none were hospitalized and no impact was expected outside the facility.

Northwestern University physicist Eric Dahl is part of a group of physicists that has just launched an unusual new experiment in an attempt to be the first to directly confirm the existence of dark matter.

Researchers wrote in The Astrophysical Journal that they have made the best measurement of all the light in the universe since the Big Bang yet.

"It might explain why we're here at all," said David Radford, who oversees specific ORNL activities in the Majorana Demonstrator research effort.

There's a catch, however: I'm unable to tell you what that insight is. Neither I, nor any of my professional physicist friends, have the faintest clue.

But there are more exotic forms of magnetism whose properties remain unclear, despite decades of intense research.

An on-going collaboration between physicists from York and the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, USA, is focusing on understanding, tailoring and tuning the electronic properties of topological insulators - new materials with surfaces that host a quantum state of matter at the nanoscale.

The first draft of the World Wide Web has gone missing, with perhaps one of the only copies of the very first Web site floating around the world's drawers or attics on a floppy disk somewhere.

Cells in the human body do not function in isolation. Living cells rely on communication with their environment -- neighboring cells and the surrounding matrix -- to activate a wide range of cellular functions, including reproduction of new cells, differentiation of stem cells into distinct cell types, cell adhesion, and migration of white blood ...

One is Steve Jobs' 2005 address to Stanford's graduating class, where he famously used three stories to memorably define his life.

A physicist claims to have formulated a mathematical theory that explains why the universe works the way it does - and it feels like 'the answer' Eric Weinstein's theory is the first major challenge to the validity of Albert Einstein's Field Equations.

Growing thin films out of nanoparticles in ordered, crystalline sheets, to make anything from microelectronic components to solar cells, would be a boon for materials researchers, but the physics is tricky because particles of that size don't form crystals the way individual atoms do.

A new interpretation of quantum mechanics is proposed according to which precedence, freedom and novelty play central roles.
