In world first, European physicists snap elusive neutrino particles: PARIS AFP — European physicists said Tuesday they had sent an elusive particle known as a neutrino on a 730-kilometer (456-mile) trip under the Earth's crust and taken a snapshot of the instant it slammed into lab detectors. The journey from the European Organisation for Nuclear Research CERN in...; Tags: CERN, particle, physicist; Research articles 2007-10-23
The power of induction: cutting the last cord could resonate with our increasingly gadget-dependent lives: Matin Soljacic was understandably nervous. The young physicist was about to give his first public presentation of an idea that sounded almost too good to be true. There was no telling how his audience, at a Berkeley, Calif., symposium, would receive his daring proposal. Design two antennas to be as...; Tags: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, physicist, radio, wireless; Research articles 2007-07-21
