Polar vortex replicated in a bucket

Researchers make triangular, square and other polygonal vortices appear in swirling water

Weiler to remain NASA science chief

Interim chief accepts permanent position and plans to continue hard-nosed approach to project overruns

Atom laser makes its first measurement

The ability to modify an atom-laser beam should open up avenues in quantum information

May 5, 1961

Forty-seven years ago today, astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space

Astronomy and astrophysics with neutrinos

Traversing cosmological distances without bending or energy loss, high-energy neutrinos are messengers from extreme astrophysical environments.

The evolution of a dedicated synchrotron light source

In 1968, Tantalus emerged as the first particle accelerator fully dedicated to synchrotron light experiments. Its development was marked by lucky coincidences and the visionary intuition of its principal constructor and director, Ednor Rowe.

Surface-plasmon circuitry

Electromagnetic waves at the surface of a metal have the enormous bandwidth of a light pulse and can be channeled into circuit components smaller than the diffraction limit.

New family of quaternary iron-based compounds superconducts at tens of kelvin

Similarities with the cuprates presage higher transition temperatures. Differences provide a fresh perspective on electron-mediated pairing.

IR spectra reveal water vapor in regions where terrestrial planets form

The observations of water and organic molecules may help astronomers explore the structure and dynamics of the disks that ultimately evolve into solar systems.

Universities and industry find roadblocks to R&D partnering

Academic red tape, bickering over rights to inventions, and attractive terms abroad are limiting growth in industry-sponsored research at US universities.

US weighs entering radioisotope market

Any US site that produces molybdenum-99, a parent to the radioisotope used in 70-80% of medical imaging, would use low-enriched uranium, which could aid nonproliferation by prodding suppliers in other countries to do the same.

Detectors could miss bomb-grade uranium at ports, group warns

The NRDC says next-generation radiation monitors could be thwarted by modest shielding.
