Researchers rely on Newton's interference for new experiment

Most people think of Sir Isaac Newton as the father of gravity. But for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist Henry Chapman and his colleagues, Newton's "dusty mirror" experiment served as a launching pad for them to keenly watch the X-ray induced explosion of microscopic objects.

   Setting up an air quality trailer in the midst of cattlepens at a feedlot will help measure gaseous emissions, said a TexasAgricultural Experiment Station researcher. Dr. Ken Casey, Experiment Station air quality engineer in Amarillo,wants to measure ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emissions from feedyards. His research team is setting up two climate-controlled instrumenttrailers in different locations at a feedyard. The trailers will beequipped with two continuous emissions analyzers.

2. On a wire or in a fiber, a wave is a wave
   07-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Around the world, students learn about the wave nature of light through the interference patterns of "Young's double-slit experiment," first performed over 200 years ago and still considered among the most beautiful physics experiments. Using an analogous experiment, researchers at Brown and Stanford have shown that a simple analytical model can describe the wave nature of surface plasmon polaritons. Their work suggests that plasmonic devices cannot easily circumvent the limitations of electromagnetic waves.

   02-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
   If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you? Probably not, but according to a study by Arizona State University researchers, peer influence plays a greater role in people's behavior than is generally acknowledged. The study, which is being presented by ASU Regents' Professor of Psychology Robert Cialdini on Feb. 18 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, suggests that peer influence is an under-recognized factor in energy conservation.

   11-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Despite the availability of life-saving antiretroviral treatment, people infected with HIV continue to die and suffer from complications of AIDS, mainly due to delayed diagnosis and initiation of treatment. A researcher at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and colleagues at Yale University have shed light on why this problem persists. They report their findings in the November issue of the journal Medical Care.

   University of Miami researcher Claire Paris will use a groundbreaking observational tool, the OWNFOR (Orientation With No Frame Of Reference), a kite-like drifting device that allows researchers to detect and quantify the orientation of larval coral reef fish in the pelagic environment. This invention provides a less labor intensive, more precise way of tracking the dispersal of larval and juvenile marine species. The OWNFOR larval monitoring system will be tested through funding from the Australian Museum; Hermon Slade Foundation.
