Antiproton ring found around Earth  →
ANTIPROTONS appear to ring the Earth, confined by the planet’s magnetic field lines. The antimatter, which may persist for minutes or hours before annihilating with normal matter, could in theory be used to fuel ultra-efficient rockets of the future. Charged particles called cosmic rays constantly rain in from space, creating a spray of new particles - including antiparticles - when they...

infinitesimus: In the late 1920s, Paul Dirac had thought that it was possible for electrons to have both a positive charge and negative energy, and while his paper on the idea didn’t explicitly state that there would be a new particle to fit the idea, the door was left open for someone to discover such a particle, and it wasn’t too long until it was found. American physicist Carl David...

Infinitesimus: The Space Shuttle Atlantis glides... →
The Space Shuttle Atlantis glides down towards the runway at the Kennedy Space Center, the 135th and final Space Shuttle mission. Thirty years on from it’s first orbital test flight, much can be said about the shuttle program, and much has been learned from not only its successes but from its tragic failures. Upon completing one of it’s final few tasks, the release of a small PicoSat,...
