Marshall, thanks for your reply. I'm not famous Jerry. He published his photo in the Keely group, so you can see the difference.http://keelynet.com/whoisdecker.htm  I believe John Ernst…

Physicists at Ohio University and the University of Hamburg in Germany have captured  the first images of atomic spin in action.  The research indicates that scientists can observe and…

My friend Peppe Liberti, a physicist and blogger from southern Italy, sent me today a amusing list of essential biographies of scientists. I wish to share them with you here, after I explain what…

Well, who exactly is DORIS?  “She” is actually the first Doppel-Ring-Speicher (which translates neatly into English as “Double-Ring Storage”) at DESY, the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in…

Analogies are a powerful way to explain complicated scientific concepts. I use them as much as I can whenever I describe particle physics in this blog or when I give a outreach talk in a school.…

This is to inform you of the new luminosity record set today by the Tevatron collider at Fermilab. The machine has been working excellently, improving its performance as the machinists found ways to…

http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1002/1002.3425v1.pdf   We should depart from notion of a continuously existing electron and consider an elementary particle an ensemble of events connected…

Synchrotron Radiation Synchrotron radiation is a kind of electromagnetic radiation caused by the high energy particles (with a velocity close to the speed of light). Radiation is very common in…

I was invited to give a talk and participate in a round table, at a conference on Physics communication in Frascati, a small town near Rome where the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics has its…

Two new studies made using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have put Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to the test (again) and the results show it is still the best game in town. Each team used…
