The particle contains two strange quarks and a bottom quark (s-s-b). It is an exotic relative of the much more common proton and weighs about six times the proton mass. http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=fermi_682141469.jpg&size=summary_medium 0 http://hypography.com/news/physical-sciences/35525.html Physical sciences news Sun, 08 Jun 2008 13:52:00 -0700 Like children playing a game of tag, some protons and neutrons link up briefly inside the nucleus of the atom and then rapidly split apart. These pairings have now been quantified in the first simultaneous measurement of such pairings and their constituents. http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=Nuclear_Pairs_787352823.jpg&size=summary_medium 0 http://hypography.com/news/physical-sciences/35503.html Physical sciences news Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:23:00 -0700 'Quantum Hall-like effect' found in a bulk material without an applied magnetic field http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=Quantum_physicists_935119627.jpg&size=summary_medium 3 http://hypography.com/news/physical-sciences/35497.html Physical sciences news Sun, 13 Apr 2008 01:22:00 -0700 The origin of the Grand Canyon has been a topic of scientific controversy for nearly 140 years. Now, with geochronologic data from the canyon and surrounding plateaus, geologists from the California Institute of Technology present significant evidence that lends new insight into its history of formation. http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=gc_405287497.jpg&size=summary_medium 0 http://hypography.com/news/physical-sciences/35489.html Physical sciences news Wed, 02 Apr 2008 12:17:00 -0700 Even though they are among the best-known structures on Earth, the pyramids of Egypt may still hold surprises. This spring, an MIT class is testing a controversial theory that some of the giant blocks that make up the great pyramids of Giza may have been cast in place from concrete, rather than quarried and moved into position. http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=GizaPyramids_269391748.jpg&size=summary_medium 0 http://hypography.com/news/physical-sciences/27089.html Physical sciences news Tue, 19 Sep 2000 05:35:09 -0700 With time running out for Europe's largest particle accelerator, a team of Wisconsin physicists may be tantalizingly close to being among the first to see the Higgs boson, the subatomic particle that is responsible for endowing all matter with mass. 0 http://hypography.com/news/physical-sciences/27350.html Physical sciences news Mon, 25 Sep 2000 05:56:42 -0700 Defying traditional laws of physics, researchers may have found a way to blast through imminent roadblocks on the highway to faster and smaller computers. 0 http://hypography.com/news/physical-sciences/27708.html Physical sciences news Mon, 09 Oct 2000 23:33:08 -0700 The winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics were announced on October 10 by the Nobel Institute in Sweden. 0 http://hypography.com/news/physical-sciences/28047.html Physical sciences news Thu, 02 Nov 2000 01:46:11 -0800 From simulations of tiny molecular structures to visions of supernovae millions of times bigger than Earth, NASA computer scientists will demonstrate supercomputing tools and innovations at an upcoming conference in Dallas. 0 http://hypography.com/news/physical-sciences/29828.html Physical sciences news Sat, 10 Feb 2001 00:54:57 -0800 Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers from 11 institutions in the U.S., Russia, Japan, and Germany, has announced an experimental result that directly confronts the so-called Standard Model of particle physics. 0 Hypography - Science for everyone
