China's Great (Quantum) Leap Forward
While China has been showing off its new hardware, a potentially more important military advancement has gone largely unnoticed -- a major breakthrough in quantum teleportation
Satellite Data Reveal Seasonal Pollution Changes Over India
Armed with a decade's worth of satellite data, University of Illinois atmospheric scientists have documented some surprising trends in aerosol pollution concentration, distribution and composition over the Indian subcontinent.In addition to environmental impact, aerosol pollution, or tiny particles suspended in the air, can be detrimental to human health by causing a range of respiratory ...
In the spotlight
The trio includes Freekbass on bass, Steve Molitz (Particle, Phil Lesh & Friends) on keyboards and DJ Logic on turntables, and the group was named Headtronics by famed bassist Bootsy Collins. Moltiz, Freekbass and DJ Logic met at the Church of Universal Love and Music Festival last summer, and after an onstage jam session, they decided to play some shows together. The sledgehammer sound of ...
Antimatter detector to catch U.S. shuttle to space in 2011
Photo taken on Aug. 26, 2010 shows workers load Alpha Magnetics Spectrometer (AMS), a particle detector designed and built to operate as an external payload on the International Space Station (ISS) to collect evidence of antimatter, dark matter and other hard-to-find elements of the universe over the next 20 years, in Geneva, Switzerland.

Rummaging for a Final Theory: Can a 1960s Approach Unify Gravity with the Rest of Physics?
Turning the clock back by half a century could be the key to solving one of science?s biggest puzzles: how to bring together gravity and particle physics. At least that is the hope of researchers advocating a back-to-basics approach in the search for a unified theory of physics. In July mathematicians and physicists met at the Banff International Research Station in Alberta, Canada, to discuss a ...
