QuarkNet brings high school students and teachers to the frontier of 21st century research that seeks to research some of the mysteries about the structure of matter and the fundamental forces of nature. QuarkNet centers are connected to high-energy physics experiments operating at CERN in Switzerland, at Fermilab in Illinois, at SLAC in Califormia and others. Within two years, we expect to form 60 centers associated with research groups at universities and labs across the U.S. (50 already operational). Physicists mentor and collaborate with high school teachers. Through these collaborations: Students learn fundamental physics as they analyze live online data and participate in inquiry-oriented investigations. Teachers join research teams with physicists at a local university or laboratory.

MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity. Their work, to be reported in the June 23 issue of Nature, is closely related to the superconductivity of electrons in metals. Observations of superfluids may help solve lingering questions about high-temperature superconductivity, which has widespread applications for magnets, sensors and energy-efficient transport of electricity, said Wolfgang Ketterle, a Nobel laureate who heads the MIT group and who is the John D. MacArthur Professor of Physics as well as a principal investigator in MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics. Seeing the superfluid gas so clearly is such a dramatic step that Dan Kleppner, director of the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms, said, "This is not a smoking gun for superfluidity. This is a cannon."

Vapor Pressure of the Elements, #6 A madeo Avogadro conte di Quaregna e Ceretto was born August 9, 1776, in Turin, Italy and died July 9,1856, also in Turin. He was a physicist who first set forth the hypothesis known as Avogadro's Law, which states that equal volumes of gasses or 'vapours', at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. This law explained why gasses chemically combine in simple proportions by volume and led Avogadro to believe that the elements of hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen exist as diatomic molecules in nature. A professor of higher physics at the University of Turin for many years, he stated by his hypothesis in 1811, but it was not generally accepted until after 1858, when the Italian chemist Stanislao Cannizzaro constructed a logical system of concepts of modern chemistry. Avogadro's number is the number of molecules in one gram-molecular-weight of any substance. AVOGADRO'S LAW , a statement that under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of different gasses contain an equal number of molecules. This empirical relation, proposed by the Italian physicist Amadeo Avogadro in 1811, can be derived from the kinetic theory of gases under the assumption of a perfect (ideal) gas. The law is approximately valid for real gases at sufficiently low pressures and high temperatures.

For decades Einstein attempted to weave together all aspects of physics into one grand unified theory, and although he failed many physicists have continued his work, seemingly in vain. The Half-Life 2 source code leaked onto the Internet by an unknown hacker last month after he or she compromised one of the computers it was stored on. This allowed physicists at CPU to analyze the revolutionary physics engine. Dr. Harvey McLeod said in his statement early yesterday, "I overheard one of my students talking in class, about how he was playing the Half-Life 2 beta and how exact the physics engine was. I became intrigued. I didn't think that a computer had the processing power to compute all the different physics equations quickly enough to animate the game flawlessly. I was right, they were just computing one equation." Game Engine Software Engineer at Valve, Jose Garcia discovered the theory. "The game engine ran too slowly. I was assigned the job of speeding it up," he said. "I started out by combining some of the gravity equations with some of the other force equations and found it all started to fit together. After a day, I had fine-tuned the entire physics-animation functions down to four lines of code, which ran a bit faster," he added.

Profiles Search By Job Sector By Degree Hidden Physicists The Industrial Physicist ... profiles Hidden Physicists From spandex to blackberries to bioinformatics to flight control to spintronics to wind energy , physicists can be found in nearly every job sector in some of the coolest and most farfetched careers imaginable from the surreal to the strange, from the essential to the eccentric, from the typical to the crazy. Physics bachelors degree production has decreased in recent years (source: AIP Statistical Research Center) A physicist is defined as anyone who has a physics degree. Why is this the definition? Because these people have a common set of experiences. Because other disciplines define their constituents in this manner. Because these people are a critical group for academics and future research. And, most importantly, because these are the only people that laugh at jokes involving a priest, a rabbi, and a quantum mechanic. In recent years, the number of physics bachelors degrees awarded has decreased. Therefore, we physicists need to stick together! Hidden physicists are people with a physics background, but without a typical physics job. Nearly 90% of all physicists are hidden physicists. The following testimonials are taken from

This is the first experiment to produce large numbers of these doubly strange nuclei Adam Usek, Brookhaven Physicists created atomic nuclei containing two strange quarks at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States. Since the 1960s, only a handful of such particles have been detected and then only in small quantities. "This is the first experiment to produce large numbers of these doubly strange nuclei," said Brookhaven physicist Adam Rusek. "That's enough events to begin a study using statistical techniques." Atom smasher The experiment took place within a particle accelerator, where atoms were smashed into their constituent particles, the building blocks of matter.

The equipment will detect muons, tiny particles that are created when cosmic rays bombard the Earth's atmosphere. Dr Arturo Menchaca and colleagues from Mexico's National Autonomous University hope that by tracking the muons through the pyramid, they can find cavities. This could indicate whether the kings of the ancient people who built the site are also entombed within it. Yellow spikes "Down we go - and mind your head," Dr Menchaca says, as he adjusts his yellow hard-hat, and lowers himself down the rusting iron steps in to a dark 2,000-year-old tunnel running beneath the Pyramid of the Sun. It is a 100m walk along the cramped tunnel to the team's new laboratory, a plastic shed set up in a cavern in the bowels of the structure.

The society seeks to promote Palestinian physicists at the professional and societal levels. It will boost scientific and research cooperation between Palestinian physicists in Palestine and all over the world at all levels. History T he Palestinian Physical Society was founded in 1994 due to the efforts of Palestinian physicists in Palestine who are interested in the welfare of physics in Palestine. A board committee was created with its own bylaws. The committee is made of seven members, holding doctorate or masters degrees in physics, and who are elected once every two years. The committee organizes a few activities including annual meetings, which consist of general physics lectures, and educational conferences usually held every other year. The committee is also working towards creating a database of all-Palestinian physicists and Palestinian academic institutions. Send mail to with questions or comments Palestinian Physical Society
