Four physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have been awarded a U.S. patent for the design of a "medical synchrotron" capable of delivering precision doses of proton radiation to cancerous tumors with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The new device would be more precise and less costly than existing proton-therapy systems, potentially increasing the availability and benefits of this treatment for caner patients worldwide. The Brookhaven scientists are now seeking... Read Full Story
The world’s largest computing grid is ready to tackle mankind’s biggest data challenge from the earth’s most powerful accelerator. Today, three weeks after the first particle beams were injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid combines the power of more than 140 computer centers from 33 countries to analyze and manage more than 15 million gigabytes of LHC data every year. The United States is a vital partner in the development and operation of the... Read Full Story

Hamburg - The most intense X-ray beam of its type in the world was switched on Thursday in a 2,300-metre circular tunnel under the German city of Hamburg, the Desy research institute said.
The new machine, known as a synchrotron, has been remodelled from an earlier particle accelerator at the site and is named Petra [...] Read Full Story
Advanced Photon Source. ‘The Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory provides this nation’s (in fact, this hemisphere’s) most brilliant x-ray beams for research in almost all scientific disciplines.
These x-rays allow scientists to pursue new knowledge about the structure and function of materials in the center of the Earth [...] Read Full Story

via Popular Mechanics The idea of using satellites to beam solar power down from space is nothing new—the Department of Energy first studied it in the 1970s, and NASA took another look in the ’90s. The stumbling block has been less the engineering challenge than the cost. A Pentagon report released in October could mean the stars are finally aligning for space-based solar power, or SBSP. According to the report, SBSP is becoming more feasible, and eventually could help head off crises such... Read Full Story
