About a year ago, the DZero collaboration at Fermilab published a tantalizing result in which the universe unexpectedly showed a preference for matter over antimatter. Now the collaboration has more data, and the evidence for this effect has grown stronger. The result is extremely exciting: The question of why our universe should exist solely of [...]
Scientists of the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today the results from a search for a rare phenomenon, the transformation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos. The result is consistent with and significantly constrains a measurement reported 10 days ago by the Japanese T2K experiment, which announced an indication of this type of transformation. 
Dr. Rosalyn Sussman Yalow, who passed away last month on May 30, was a mother, wife, educator, and dedicated medical physicist. She received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1977 while working for the Veterans Administration Hospital in New York for her contributions to the development of radioimmunoassays of peptide hormones. Today scientists utilize this technology to further diagnostics in the medical field for cancer research and Type II diabetes. 
The Japan-based experiment T2K Tuesday gave scores of U.S. particle hunters a license to ready their detectors and take aim at the biggest question in the universe: How everything we see came to exist.
The origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays is a question that makes it onto many top-unsolved-problems-in-physics lists. Scientists are proposing a new experiment, called TAUWER, that would look to tau neutrinos to remove some of the mystery from these strange, over-stimulated cosmic rays.
Recreating the conditions present just after the Big Bang has given experimentalists a glimpse into how the universe formed. Now, scientists have begun to see striking similarities between the properties of the early universe and a theory that aims to unite gravity with quantum mechanics, a long-standing goal for physicists.
The T2K experiment in Japan has observed six particle events that indicate the oscillation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos, a long-sought signal that allows scientists to better understand a phenomenon known as neutrino oscillations. For a long time scientists have suspected that the three known types of neutrinos can morph into each other. Several [...]
: SciLogs All Blogs Next Question C.II : MOND works far too well from Pavel Kroupa 21. March 2011, 12:00 : Summary First : try Using only Solar System constraints , Newton and then Einstein developed the universal theory of gravitation . This Theory of General Relativity GR is then applied to model the universe . In order for it to fit the observational cosmological constraints , inflation , dark matter and dark energy need to be postulated to exist . Tests on scales of 10Mpc and less show this top-down modelling to fail despite major fine-tuning attempts . nbsp Second : try Using Solar System and galactic constraints Milgrom and then Bekenstein developed a new theory of gravitation . This MOND and TeVeS approach is now being applied to model the universe . Cold dark matter is not needed ,
