The Nobel Prize in Physics 2008(08 Oct 2008) Prize amount: SEK 10 million. Nambu receives one half and Kobayashi and Maskawa share the other half The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2008 with one half to Yoichiro Nambu, Enrico Fermi Institute, University of Chicago, IL, USA "for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry ...
Physicists harness effects of disorder in magnetic sensors(11 Sep 2008) University of Chicago scientists have discovered how to make magnetic sensors capable of operating at the high temperatures that ceramic engines in cars and aircraft of the future will require. The key to fabricating the sensors involves slightly ...
Argonne researcher studies what makes quantum dots blink(08 Oct 2007) In order to learn more about the origins of quantum dot blinking, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago and the California Institute of Technology have developed a method to ...
Physicists describe strange new fluid-like state of matter(07 Dec 2005) Comparison of granular jets at atmospheric pressure and in a vacuum University of Chicago physicists have created a novel state of matter using nothing more than a container of loosely packed sand and a falling marble. They have found that the impacting marble produces a jet of sand grains that briefly behaves like ...
An Exceptionally Effective Lead-Detection Protein(06 Apr 2005) Results may inspire new treatments for lead poisoning Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of Chicago have discovered that a member of a well-known protein family is better at detecting lead than any other known substance. Learning more about ...
High-throughput process for the optimization of crystallization conditions for proteins(30 Apr 2004) The spatial structure of a protein is critical to its function and is therefore of special interest to bioscientists. The difficulty is this: in order to determine the structure by X-ray structural analysis, a crystal is required. Many proteins ...
