Fundamental questions that particle physicists have pondered for decades might be answered when a $9.2 million neutron physics beam line is built at the Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron ...

Todd Bain doesn’t play guitar, but he cradles the strumbly like it’s an old friend he’s been strumming on for years. Maybe that’s because he helped create it. From the wood frame to the strings, Bain ...

Diode laser spectroscopy, torsional oscillators, piezoelectric deformation and magnetostriction — all in a 44-foot trailer traveling to universities and conferences across the country. Welcome to the ...

For the LIGO observatory on Washington’s Hanford site, noise is a real buzz killer. Any earthly sound — a truck rumbling past, the humming of a refrigerator in a nearby building, or the distant ...

Scientific experiments generate a lot of data that needs to be analyzed. This process includes transferring data to a computer or supercomputer miles away, which can take days. Addressing this problem ...

AN interesting account of the debt of modern physics to recent instruments comes from the Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York and is given by Karl K. Darrow (Review of Scientific Instruments, 12, ...
