First 'porous liquid' invented

Scientists at Queen's University Belfast have made a major breakthrough by making a porous liquid - with the potential for a massive range of new technologies including 'carbon capture'.

The Interactions Between Antiprotons Have Been Measured For The First Time

The first measurement of the interaction between antiprotons - the antimatter equivalent of protons - has been completed by an international team of physicists working at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York.

China plans world's largest supercollider

China's Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is expected to be at least twice the size of the world's current leading collider, the Large Hadron Collider.

Medical first use of gene editing in humans, reversing leukemia, points to promising future

With this leukemia reversal, gene editing has now demonstrated remarkable promise and fueled optimism about future uses. But experts urge caution.

Physicists discover a weird new form of matter

New research uncovers an unusual form of matter - not a conventional metal, insulator, or magnet, for example, but something entirely different.

Researchers Discover Thin Material that Could Pave the Way for Next-Gen Quantum Communications

A major breakthrough has been made by researchers at the University of Technology, Sydney that could pave the way for the next-generation of quantum communications.

This foam 'pump' works like a human heart

A new stretchy foam mimics the pumping action of a human heart. The researchers who created say it could make other body parts. They

Scientists grow 'mini-kidneys' in petri dishes

For the first time, scientists have created mini-kidneys from stem cells. They want to use the tissues to test drugs to treat kidney disease.

Quantum Teleportation Beyond The Starship Enterprise

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have now managed a significant breakthrough.

A living thing in two places at once? This quantum quandary test is limited | Science

A recent proposed microbe experiment based on Schrodinger's counter-intuitive theory would have a scale so small as to be almost meaningless, and other challenges such as consciousness also come into play

LHC physics data taking gets underway at new record collision energy of 8TeV

(PhysOrg.com) -- At 0:38 CEST (18:38 EDT) this morning, the LHC shift crew declared ‘stable beams’ as two 4 TeV proton beams were brought into collision at the LHC’s four interaction points. This signals the start of physics data taking by the LHC experiments for 2012. The collision energy of 8 TeV is a new world record, and increases the machine’s discovery potential considerably.

First ‘genetic atlas’ of the brain

The first atlas of the surface of the human brain based on genetic information has been produced by a national team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the VA San Diego Healthcare System.

UK surgeons are the first to operate in 3D

A team at Manchester Royal Infirmary hospital, England, claim to be the first surgeons to use 3D cameras and monitors -- and embarrassingly clunky spectacles -- during an operation. Furthermore, if that wasn

Ripping electrons from their cores: physicists mix two lasers to create light at many frequencies

Physicists have seen the light, and it comes in many different colors. By aiming high- and low-frequency laser beams at a semiconductor, the researchers caused electrons to be ripped from their cores, accelerated, and then smashed back into the cores they left behind. This recollision produced multiple frequencies of light simultaneously.
