Invisibility is now one step closer |
 ...The device guides light around anything that is placed withing the so-called "cloak".
The engineers at Purdue University have followed mathematical guidelines that were devised last year by the UK physicists to create a theoretical design, which in its turn uses an array of very small needles. The latter radiate from a central spoke outwards.
The theoretical design looks like a round hairbrush. It would bend around... |

Levitation Possible in Real World |
 ... suggested by the British scientists is based on a quirk of nature that lets particles to pop into existence from actually nowhere. This phenomenon is known in science as the 'Casimir force'. Quantum physicists predicted the 'Casimir force' in 1948. It was measured for the first time in 1997. At present day the Casimir force is the cause of friction in the nano-world, and micro-electromechanical systems in particular.

Recordings on Predicting the Existence of Parallel Worlds Found |
 ...A brilliant physicist recorded his theory on the existence of parallel universes. The tapes were recently discovered in the basement of his son's flat.
According to the recordings, the idea about parallel universes came to the quantum physicist, Hugh Everett, when he was 24 years old. The year was 1957 and the physicist at that time was a graduate student at Princeton University.
It is worth mentioning that the th... |

Intel Marks its 40th Anniversary |
 ...World's most famous chip maker, Intel, celebrates its 40th birthday. Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce were the two physicists that set up the company back in 1968. The term Intel derives from "Integrated Electronics".
"When we introduced the microprocessor no one could have predicted that the market for PCs would be greater than 350 million units a year. Over the next 40 years Intel technology will be at the heart of brea... |

Faster than the Speed of Light |
 ...Gerald Cleaver (Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Baylor University) and Richard Obousy (graduate student) are the names of the two physicists who are currently working on a new scheme to move faster than the speed of light. The two scientists hope to create a warp drive which would be able to travel faster than the speed of light, while maintaining the laws of physics.
Cleaver and Obousy say that a ... |

Big Bang Experiment to Start This September |
 ...which they say is a great step forward in the field of technology, will make the difference.
The particle, which scientists hope to find, was named the "Higgs boson". The name comes from a Scottish physicist Peter Higgs who was the first to suggest about 50 years ago that such particle must exist. Scientists believe that the boson is an unexplained factor that holds matter together.
Higgs, a 79-year-old Edinburgh Univ... |
