(Phys.org) —Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a previously unknown phase in a class of superconductors called iron arsenides. This sheds light on a debate over the interactions between atoms and electrons that are responsible for their unusual superconductivity....
An exploration "amplifier" under development in WA could allow scientists to see deeper into the Earth and search further below the surface of Mars....
A major technological deal has been reached between Fusion for Energy, the EU organisation responsible for Europe's contribution to ITER, and Air Liquide, gas technology global leader, in order to equip the world's biggest cryoplant that will cool down the ITER machine to temperatures as low as -269˚ C. The works will be completed in five years and the budget foreseen is in the range of 65 million...
We are currently successful in extracting approximately one third of the oil from oil fields. The reason for this low figure is that a large proportion of the oil remains trapped in the rock. It was already clear that great improvements in efficiency could be achieved by using water with a lower salt content when drilling. However, it was unclear which specific physical principles were behind this...
Electrophotography techniques such as laser printing or photocopying involve the transfer of charged microparticles of toner or ink onto a rotating drum using electric fields. The microscopic electrostatic interactions between these particles and the drum greatly affect the print quality. Visualizing the electric fields around these charged particles, however, is difficult due to the small size of...

People around the world are drawn to coffee's powerful allure—for its beloved smell, and taste, and for the caffeine boost it provides. As you enjoy your coffee beverage, however, odds are good you're probably not thinking about the coffee bean roasting process behind it....
Closest to the beam pipe where particle collisions will occur in the very heart of ATLAS, a new subdetector – the Insertable B-Layer – was recently put in place. The IBL team had been developing and practicing the insertion procedure and tooling for two years because of the operation's delicate nature. Every possible test had been carried out. Unlike the dry runs above ground, the final procedure in...
