Structure of Highly Energized Dangerous Electrons Discovered in Earth's Inner Radiation Belt

An NJIT physicist is a collaborator in the discovery of a new structure in Earth's inner radiation belt -- a zebra-striped structure of highly energized electrons that could endanger humans in space and also damage low-earth navigation and communication satellites.

SLAC and Stanford Scientists Contribute to Discovery of Direct Evidence for Cosmic Inflation

Two scientists at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory made key contributions to the discovery of the first direct evidence for cosmic inflation – the rapid expansion of the infant universe in the first trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang.

Next Director for Chandra X-ray Center Selected After Extensive Search

Professor Charles Alcock, Director of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, announces that after an extensive search, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), in consultation with NASA, has selected Dr. Belinda Wilkes as the next director of the Chandra X-ray Center (CXC). She will assume the directorship on April 20, 2014.

Quantum Chaos Observed for Ultracold Atomic Collisions

At sub-micro-kelvin temperatures atoms or molecules move so slowly that it is better to think of them as spread-out, wavelike things a micron or more across, many times larger than any putative bond length (typically sub-nanometer in size) that would characterize bound molecules.

First Joint Result from Fermilab’s Tevatron and CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

Scientists working on the world’s leading particle collider experiments have joined forces, combined their data and produced the first joint result from Fermilab’s Tevatron and CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), past and current holders of the record for most powerful particle collider on Earth.

Science for Peace to be Celebrated at CERN

CERN is celebrating 60 years of science for peace in 2014, with events at the Organization’s Geneva laboratory and in its Members States. Festivities will focus on two key events. The first is on 1 July at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, where the Organization’s 12 founding members established the CERN Convention on 1 July 1953.

Researchers Detect Clear Imprint of Gravitational Waves in Cosmic Microwave Background

Right after its birth in the Big Bang, the infant universe threw the mother of all tantrums.

Polarization Could Reveal Tracks of Gravitational Waves

In 1996 Uros Seljak was a postdoc at Harvard, contemplating ways to extract information from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The distribution of anisotropies, slight temperature differences, in the CMB had much to say about the large-scale structure of the universe. If it were also possible to detect the polarization of the CMB itself, however, a much wider window would be opened – polarization could even reveal the tracks of gravitational waves.
