Superfluid liquid Helium is shot under very high pressure out of a tiny nozzle and into vacuum. Outside in front of the nozzle, the excess pressure bursts the liquid apart violently into a myriad of…

Booze has likely inspired many an action in researchers but any actual science effect was second order.   No more.   Scientists from the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan…

Just a very short post here to mention Marni Dee Sheppeard's guest post in the brand new NEUTEL blog, the blog of the Neutrino Telescopes 2011 conference, which will be held in Venice from March 15th…

In a recent post I mentioned here that for the first of two feature articles I wrote for Physics World, and which just appeared in this month's issue (the first piece is actually available online…

The results of a new Supersymmetry search have been released a few days ago by the ATLAS collaboration. They come from an analysis of events with large missing transverse energy and jets -the most…

From March 15th to March 18th I will be following the NEUTEL 11 conference, which conveniently (for yours truly!) takes place in Venice, in the magnificent setting of Palazzo Franchetti (see picture…

Every once in a while we are told that Schrödinger’s cat is now proven. One incarnation of the ‘Finally Proven!!!’ of macroscopic quantum superposition was hailed as one of the 10…

Just appeared on Physics World online: the first of my two feature articles on LHC physics in 2011, which are being published in this month's issue.

Some ofthe theories or concepts like 'Film theory of the Universe' of physics and 'wave genetics' of Biology leads to a answer for ideas which were not explained by science. The school of thought…

Modern cosmology believes that for the universe to behave as it does, the mass-energy of the universe must be dominated by dark matter and dark energy, though there is no direct evidence for the…
