Angels, Demons, and Antihydrogen | Berkeley Lab

http://newscenter.lbl.gov/feature-stories/2009/05/05/angels-demons-and-antihydrogen

Today At Berkeley Lab. Angels, Demons, and Antihydrogen. 8226; May 5, 2009. There’s nothing fictional about antimatter. It’s all around us, all the time. Researchers know how to create and store antiparticles and even make antihydrogen atoms. But gathering enough to fuel a rocket or make a bomb would take so much energy that no one (including the Vatican) needs to worry. Granted, antimatter may be the ultimate energy source the energy released by annihilating a mere milligram of antimatter would be equal...

Engineering Nanoparticles for Maximum Strength | Berkeley Lab

http://newscenter.lbl.gov/press-releases/2008/10/20/engineering-nanoparticles-for-maximum-strength

Today At Berkeley Lab. Engineering Nanoparticles for Maximum Strength. 8226; October 20, 2008. Paul Preuss, (510) 486-6249, paul preuss@lbl.gov. Individual nanocrystals are remarkably strong. But under stress, complex nanostructures quickly fail because of internal strains. New research on hollow nanospheres shows that engineering can greatly increase the strength of complex nanoparticles. The results could lead to stronger nanostructures and large-scale alloys as well. Andy Minor explains measuring stre...

Today At Berkeley Lab. For Ultra-cold Neutrino Experiment, a Successful Demonstration. An international team of scientists releases early results from the CUORE experiment with implications for why there’s more matter than antimatter in the universe. 510-486-4404 • April 9, 2015. Bottom view of a CUORE tower. Credit: CUORE Collaboration. The findings are twofold. First, the CUORE-0 results place some of the most sensitive constraints on the mass of the elusive Majorana neutrino to date. With thes...Secon...
