The UK's ISIS Second Target Station Project moved a major step closer to completion today when the first neutrons were created in the ISIS Second Target Station. After five years of planning and construction, the first neutrons were detected by the Inter instrument at 1308 BST. ISIS, the world-renowned neutron facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, is operated by the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Scientists seeking to protect the soldier of the future can learn a lot from
a relic of the past, according to an MIT
study of a primitive fish that could point to more effective ways of designing
human body armor.
A team of researchers at Princeton University's Materials Research Science
and Engineering Center has observed electrons moving through a crystal of bismuth
metal behaving like light.
Adding just the right dash of nanoparticles to standard mixes of lubricants and refrigerants could yield the equivalent of an energy-saving chill pill for factories, hospitals, ships, and others with large cooling systems.
