Chip-Sized Particle Accelerators Could Lead to Cancer-Fighting Ray Guns
Forget the gigantic Large Hadron Collider - how about a particle-accelerator-on-a-chip?
OK, so it can't reach the energies produced at

IceCube Observatory Installs its Final Sensors, Making it the World's Largest Neutrino Detector
After a decade of planning, testing, and boring massive holes in the Antarctic ice with a huge hot water drill, National Science Foundation researchers and their partners completed the IceCube

A Science Experiment in South Pole Ice Searches For Clues About Dark Matter
Every December since 2004, engineers have flown to the South Pole to drill 8,000-foot-deep holes in the ice. The team lowers cables, each strung with 60 disco-ball-size light sensors, into the holes and let them freeze over. So far they have completed 79 such holes, set

LHC Researchers Glimpse the 'Primordial Soup' of the Universe for the First Time
The milestones just keep coming over at the Large Hadron Collider. The latest: CERN researchers have glimpsed for the first time the so-called quark-gluon plasma that existed in the

Physicists Conjure the First Super-Photon, Creating a Whole New Kind of Light Source
Physicists from the University of Bonn are looking at things in a whole new light, quite literally. Through the clever use of mirrors and some smart science, researchers there have created a wholly new source of light by cooling photons to the point that they condense

LHC May Locate The Higher Dimensions Next Year
The Large Hadron Collider took several years to construct, and it was expected that it would take several more to begin yielding game-changing scientific data. But, to the delight of CERN researchers, that hasn't been the case. The LHC is already yielding reams of valuable

IBM Launches Five-Year Effort To Develop Quantum Computing
Ramped-up research efforts at IBM and other labs in the U.S. and Europe could lead to more powerful and more prevalent quantum computers in the near future.

New Gamma-Ray Nuke Detector Could Sniff Out Dirty Bombs Without Opening Cargo Containers
Keeping tabs on nuclear material is both increasingly important and increasingly difficult these days, but researchers at the University of Maryland have devised a mechanism that may make it a lot easier to ensure unchecked radioactive materials don't make it illicitly
