MICE To Go Ahead: Quest To Unravel The Characteristics Of The Mysterio In the quest to unravel the characteristics of the mysterious neutrino particle, millions of which pass through us undetected every day, scientists from several international universities have joined forces with UK research colleagues to build a unique engineering technology demonstrator at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. Known as MICE [Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment] the experiment will prove one of the key requirements to produce intense beams of neutrinos at a dedicated Neutrino Factory to be built later this decade. Space Station Assembly: Elements: Zarya Control Module, Baikonur Cosmo Background information about the Russian "launch complex where Sputnik 1, Earth's first artificial satellite, was launched. The rocket that lifted Yuri Gagarin, the first human in orbit, was also launched from Baikonur."Includes a photo and map of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in June 2005.

Exotic Physics Finds Black Holes Could Be Most 'Perfect,' Low-viscosit In three spatial dimensions, it is a close relative of the quark-gluon plasma, the super-hot state of matter that hasn't existed since the tiniest fraction of a second after the big bang that started the universe. When viewed in 10 dimensions, the minimum number prescribed by what physicists call "string theory,"it is a black hole. Saving The Remarkable Kakapo Bird From Extinction One of the strangest and most endangered birds in the world, the kakapo, is being brought back from the brink of extinction. The largest of all parrot species, flightless, nocturnal and plant-eating, the kakapo used to be found all over New Zealand. But ecological changes, habitat clearance and the introduction of predatory mammals combined to cause a catastrophic decline in numbers to only 51 in 1995. Conquerors' Hopes Dashed Dutch researcher Florine Asselbergs has discovered the Spanish conquering of Guatemala portrayed onan indigenous painting. This sixteenth-century panel had scarcely been investigated up until now and provides a detailed overview of the battles and the landscape. It is an important find, as relatively little is known about the conquest of Guatemala. Links to the News: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Collection of articles and links related to the holiday.

Australian Hackers Get IPhone Working on Telstra; Analyst Says Softwar In iPhone news today, Australian hackers succeed in getting an iPhone to work on the Telstra network. Separately, a financial analyst predicts that Apple will soon issue a software update for the iPhone. Hurricane Katrina Recovery Find government-sponsored information about finding missing persons, help for victims, health and safety, recovery response, and how you can help in the recovery from Hurricane Katrina. Includes a list of frequently asked questions. From FirstGov.gov, "the official U.S. gateway to all government information." Antibiotics from green tea Researchers from Slovenia have used spectroscopy to home in on the active site of an essential bacterial enzyme, DNA gyrase. They say they now understand more clearly how a compound found in green tea, EGCG, which is a health-boosting antioxidant, works to kill bacteria.The findings should allow researchers to design new, synthetic versions of EGCG [...] Surgical Robot 'Scrubs In' At UNC, May Be More Precise Than Convention The new surgical assistant at the University of North Carolina Hospitals arrived in February sporting three arms, a computerized brain and a glowing track record in helping to repair heart valves, remove cancerous prostates, bypass blocked coronary arteries and perform gastric bypass operations for morbid obesity.
