82. MIT Physicists Create New Form Of Matter - MIT News Office
    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  
    http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2005/matter.html
    
    Extractions: June 22, 2005 CAMBRIDGE, Mass. 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."

    Extractions: 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.

89. BBspot - Half-Life 2 Physics Engine Contains Grand Unified Theory
    physicists at CornelPutnam University (CPU) confirmed yesterday the Holy Grail of Physics, the Grand Unified Theory, is contained in the Half-Life 2 source code.  
    http://bbspot.com/News/2003/12/valve_unified_theory.html
    
    Extractions: Ithaca, NY - Physicists at Cornel-Putnam University (CPU) confirmed yesterday the Holy Grail of Physics, the Grand Unified Theory, is contained in the Half-Life 2 source code. 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.

90. Careers Using Physics - Profiles
    Therefore, we physicists need to stick together! Hidden physicists are people with a physics background, but without a typical physics job.  
    http://spsnational.org/cup/hidden.html
    
    Extractions: 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

91. BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Physicists Make 'strange' Matter
    International scientists detect strange quarks in a groundbreaking experiment.  
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1504267.stm
    
    Extractions: 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.

93. BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Physicists Probe Ancient Pyramid
    The largest particle detector in Mexico will investigate a pyramid in the ancient settlement of Teotihuacan to see if it contains burial chambers.  
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3710735.stm
    
    Extractions: Teotihuacan is known as the "City of the Gods" The largest particle detector in Mexico is being built inside a pyramid in the ancient settlement of Teotihuacan. 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.

    Extractions: Email Me! So, you want a job as a physicist? Well, good luck! Looking for a career in physics today can be even more difficult than earning the degree itself. Despite what the ads may tell you, a college degree does not guarantee a good job. Even an advanced degree won't ensure a good paying, rewarding job as a researcher or scientist. Within these web pages is just a little bit of information and friendly advice from a fellow physicist and job seeker. I suggest reading these pages in their entirety. Anything you find useful is yours to keep, no charge. Anything you don't like, don't use. I hope you enjoy these pages. And, as always, feel free to E-mail me for additional comments, criticism and questions. These pages are short on graphics and cute little pictures because they are not neccessary. I tried to keep things as simple as possible. Also, these pages are not designed for physicists with a Doctorate or looking for post-doctorate work. My target demographic for these web pages are scientists who hold either a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Physics. Of course, everyone is free to examine the information contained here. I just didn't want any complaints.
