  • Media Advisory: ILC GDE - Experts on future particle accelerators answer questions in a conference call

    Updated: 2012-10-24 06:00:00
    This week, more than 200 scientists from all over the world are meeting for The International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (http://www.lcws12.org) at The University of Texas at Arlington. They're edging closer to a Technical Design Report for the International Linear Collider (ILC), due to be published next summer, and are also discussing other potential future accelerators, including the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), which has recently published its Conceptual Design Report.

  • Newswire: CNRS/CEA - New type of cosmic ray discovered after 100 years

    Updated: 2012-10-16 06:00:00
    Using the European X-ray astronomy satellite XMM-Newton(1), researchers from CNRS(2) and CEA (3) have discovered a new source of cosmic rays. In the vicinity of the remarkable Arches cluster, near the center of the Milky Way, these particles are accelerated in the shock wave generated by tens of thousands of young stars moving at a speed of around 700,000 km/h. These cosmic rays produce a characteristic X-ray emission by interacting with the atoms in the surrounding gas. Their origin differs from that of the cosmic rays discovered exactly a hundred years ago by Victor Hess, which originate in the explosions of supernovae. The findings are published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

  • Sponge-like graphene makes promising supercapacitor electrodes

    Updated: 2012-10-12 16:10:01
    (Phys.org)—While most of today's electric vehicles rely on batteries to store energy, supercapacitors have enjoyed significant improvements that have made them serious competitors to batteries. Batteries traditionally have the upper hand in terms of capacity, since supercapacitors' low capacities mean very short driving ranges for electric vehicles. Supercapacitors' biggest advantage lies in their much higher power density compared to batteries, enabling a quicker charge time and the ability to quickly discharge for fast acceleration.
