Extreme Gravity of Black Holes Causes Accretion Disks and Relativistic Jets to Warp and Bend

Voracious absences at the center of galaxies, black holes shape the growth and death of the stars around them through their powerful gravitational pull and explosive ejections of energy.

ALS Chemical Dynamics Beamline Helps Unravel Ingredients in Solar System Recipe

By studying the origins of different isotope ratios among the elements that make up today’s smorgasbord of planets, moons, comets, asteroids, and interplanetary ice and dust, Mark Thiemens and his colleagues hope to learn how our solar system evolved. Thiemens, Dean of the Division of Physical Sciences at the University of California, San Diego, has worked on this problem for over three decades.

Historic Cyclotron Returns to Berkeley Lab after 75 Years

Seventy-five years after one of the world’s first working cyclotrons was handed to the London Science Museum, it has returned to its birthplace in the Berkeley hills, where the man who invented it, Ernest O. Lawrence, helped launch the field of modern particle physics as well as the national laboratory that would bear his name, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Higgs Boson Symposium at AAAS Annual Meeting

Get the latest on the science news that topped multiple “Top-10” lists for 2012—the discovery of a new elementary particle that fits all descriptions of the long-sought Higgs boson. Physicists from ATLAS and CMS, the two experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that saw telltale signs of the new particle in 2011—and have been gathering more data since—will describe details of the search, the latest findings, and future directions for research on the Higgs at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston, MA.
