Five problems in physics without the definite article
In physics, understanding requires both experiments and a quantitative theoretical description.
Film Review: Woody Allen's 'Whatever Works'
T he love of the last word is the province of comedians; when you put someone down, you want them to stay down.
NASA's Fermi Telescope reveals a population of radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsars
A new class of pulsars detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is solving the mystery of previously unidentified gamma-ray sources and helping scientists understand the mechanisms behind pulsar emissions.
Prostate cancer patients disease free after 5 years likely to be disease free after 10 years
Prostate cancer patients who receive brachytherapy and remain free of disease for five years or greater are unlikely to have a recurrence at 10 years, according to a study in the July 1 issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics , the official journal of the American Society for Radiation Oncology .
Researchers unite to distribute quantum keys
Researchers from across Europe have united to build the largest quantum key distribution network ever built.
Quantum Communications One Step Closer: Novel Ion Trap For Sensing Force And Light Developed
Now, a novel ion trap geometry demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology could usher in a new generation of applications because the device holds promise as a stylus for sensing very small forces or as an interface for efficient transfer of individual light particles for quantum communications.
Cohen: I'm left holding the Book of Ruth
Among the alumni of Far Rockaway High School in Queens are three Nobel Prize winners - two in physics and one in medicine - plus a pioneer in women's basketball , a famous psychologist , a financier and, appallingly and with much regret, Bernard Madoff , class of 1956.
Learn Why Ship Isn't Being Searched
Two weeks ago U.S. officials said that a North Korean ship bound for Myanmar was believed to be carrying weapons.
In his weekly address on Saturday, President Obama saluted the House of Representatives for passing Waxman-Markey, the gargantuan energy-rationing bill that would amount to the largest tax increase in the nation's history.
Scientists create first working model of a two-qubit electronic quantum processor
Model uses the power of quantum mechanics in a processor similar to that found in computers and cell phones A team led by Yale University researchers has successfully implemented simple algorithms using a quantum processor based on microwave solid-state technology--similar to that found in computers and cell phones.
Yale researchers build a quantum processor that fits in a bread box--sort of. Over the history of computing, smaller has come to mean better.
NuTeV anomaly helps shed light on physics of the nucleus
A new calculation clarifies the complicated relationship between protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus and offers a fascinating resolution of the famous NuTeV Anomaly.
Fermilab's CDF observes Omega-sub-b baryon
At a recent physics seminar at the Department of EnergyA's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Fermilab physicist Pat Lukens of the CDF experiment announced the observation of a new particle, the Omega-sub-b . The particle contains three quarks, two strange quarks and a bottom quark .
Making sure accident details compute
By J. STEVEN DILLON STAFF WRITER Chris Kinn spends more time these days doing algebra and physics than he does writing speeding tickets.
Scientists create first electronic quantum processor
A team led by Yale University researchers has created the first rudimentary solid-state quantum processor, taking another step toward the ultimate dream of building a quantum computer.
S.D. mine might solve a physics mystery
Far below the Black Hills of South Dakota, crews are building the world's deepest underground science lab at a depth equivalent to more than six Empire State buildings - a place uniquely suited to scientists' quest for mysterious particles known as dark matter.
New Book: Does Quantum Mechanics Show A Connection Between The Human Mind And The Cosmos?
Does quantum mechanics show a connection between the human mind and the cosmos? Are our brains tuned into a "cosmic consciousness" that pervades the universe enabling us to make our own reality? Do quantum mechanics and chaos theory provide a place for God to act in the world without violating natural laws? Many popular books and films make such ...
If there really was a philosopher king ... - Russell Wangersky
Forgive me, but I've been stuck with a nagging thought for more than a week now - and unfortunately for everyone involved , it includes philosophy, physics, the wild universal notion known as string theory, and the pragmatism of trying to keep your job.
Allen's 'Whatever Works' smart but breezy
Woody Allen's main character in "Whatever Works" rants directly into the camera, breaking the "Fourth Wall" of theater, but not much new ground.
