Mathematics takes leap into new dimension with groundbreaking calculation
WASHINGTON AFP — A transatlantic team of number-crunchers announced they had built a theoretical structure in 248 dimensions, resolving a 120-year puzzle that could be used to test theories about the structure of the cosmos. Top computer scientists and mathematicians from the United States and Europe said they had...

Electron pairs depend on strength of magnetic field.(SUPERCONDUCTORS)
A physics researcher at the University of Arizona, USA, has discovered that strong magnetism changes the basic, intrinsic properties of electrons flowing through superconductors. The researcher, Professor Andrei Lebed, says his work demonstrates that superconducting electron pairs are not unchanged elementary particles but...

EC: GPS-Galileo deal has mutual benefits
Rebutting suggestions that a tentative agreement on GNSS cooperation conceded too much to the United States, European officials say that the deal provides "symmetry" and promises to make Galileo and GPS the "world standard" for Global Navigation Satellite Systems. In March 23 remarks to the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit...

REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM: TESTING THE EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS OF EDIACARAN AND PALEOZOIC PROBLEMATIC FOSSILS USING MOLECULAR DIVERGENCE DATES
ABSTRACT-Many of the late Neoproterozoic "Ediacaran fossils" have been referred to the Cnidaria, often on the basis of vague or poorly known features. However, representatives of the living Chondrophorina (=Porpitidae, Hydrozoa), Pennatulacea Anthozoa, and Coronatae and/or Stauromedusae Scyphozoa have all been identified in Ediacaran biotas, based on specific morphological features...

Electron diffraction using transmission electron microscopy
Electron diffraction via the transmission electron microscope is a powerful method for characterizing the structure of materials, including perfect crystals and defect structures. The advantages of electron diffraction over other methods, e.g., x-ray or neutron, arise from the extremely short wavelength ([approximately equal to]2 pm), the strong atomic scattering, and...

Preslar v. Commissioner: Debt-discharge income and its rationale
I. INTRODUCTION How taxpayers determine the amount of money on which they must pay taxes is an uneasy question because this amount, gross income, has never been conclusively defined. Neither the Internal Revenue Code ("I.R.C." or "Code") nor the courts have ever exactly defined the concept,1 largely because the inquiry...

As the antiworld turns: probing the secrets of atoms, new experiments may sharpen lasers, aid doctors, and - some say- fuel starships.
Physicists will conduct new experiments at the new Antiproton Decelerator at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, with the aim of producing relatively large amounts of antimatter on a regular basis. The antimatter, particularly antihydrogen, that will be produced will be compared with matter to gain a better understanding of the universe...

As the antiworld turns
Probing the secrets of atoms, new experiments may sharpen lasers, aid doctors, and-some say fuel starships. A SINGLE ATOM OF ANTIMATTER-in particular, antihydrogen-may unlock fundamental mysteries of our universe and could lead to revolutionary advances in medicine and space travel. Physicists, through experiments due to begin...
