Brookhaven Lab highlights at the April 2012 meeting of the American Physical Society What was the universe like microseconds after the Big Bang? Can you catch an elusive neutrino in a watery liquid? What features will the world's newest ultra-bright light source reveal? Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and physicists closely following research there will present talks addressing these questions at the April 2012 meeting of the American Physical Society, March 31 - April 3, at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, GA.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Some physicists today are investigating the possibility of using molecular magnets as information storage units in future quantum computers. Molecular magnets are molecules whose magnetic moments prefer to lie along a particular axis with respect to the molecular structure. They have electron spin structures that can be magnetically tuned to more than one state and, at low temperatures, can retain this state even in the absence of a magnetic field, potentially allowing them to store information.

Geneva, 9 March 2011. At Geneva International Airport today SRB Energy delivered the first of the solar panels that will form one of the largest solar energy systems of Switzerland. Ultimately, some 300 high-temperature solar thermal panels will cover a surface of 1 200 square metres on the roof of the airport's main terminal building. The panels, which will be used to keep the buildings warm during the winter and cool in the summer, are derived from vacuum technology developed at CERN1 for particle accelerators.

BEIJING BERKELEY, CA and UPTON, NY - The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, a multinational collaboration operating in the south of China, today reported the first results of its search for the last, most elusive piece of a long-standing puzzle: how is it that neutrinos can appear to vanish as they travel? The surprising answer opens a gateway to a new understanding of fundamental physics and may eventually solve the riddle of why there is far more ordinary matter than antimatter in the universe today.

Geneva, 7 March 2012. In a paper published online today by the journal Nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN reports an important milestone on the way to measuring the properties of antimatter atoms. This follows news reported in June last year that the collaboration had routinely trapped antihydrogen atoms for long periods of time. ALPHA's latest advance is the next important milestone on the way to being able to make precision comparisons between atoms of ordinary matter and atoms of antimatter, thereby helping to unravel one of the deepest mysteries in particle physics and perhaps understanding why a Universe of matter exists at all.

On Thursday, March 8, 2012, two special seminars will be held, one at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing and the other at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) in Berkeley, CA, to discuss the most recent progress at the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino experiment. The Beijing seminar will be conducted by Yifang Wang, Director of IHEP and co-spokesperson for the experiment, beginning at 16:00 hours (4:00 p.m.) Beijing time on March 8. In Berkeley the seminar will be conducted by Kam-Biu Luk, Berkeley Lab physicist, professor of physics at the University of California at Berkeley, and co-spokesperson of the experiment, beginning at 12:15 hours (12:15 p.m.) Pacific Standard Time on March 8.
