World first laser levitation could help solve the contradiction of quantum and classical physics
2013-10-30 16:44:10| Extremetech
Physicists in Australia have become the first researchers to levitate a macroscopic object using lasers. The physicists used three lasers to form a levitational "tripod" that could hold a small mirror in free space. Beyond the inherent awesomeness of optical levitation, the physicists believe that the setup could be used as an incredibly accurate sensor for fickle forces such as gravity.

NIST-University of Maryland Conference to Highlight Women in Physics
2013-10-22 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
NIST is partnering with University of Maryland to co-host 2014 Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP), which will take place January 17–24, 2014. Event's goal is to encourage undergraduate women to continue in physics by providing them with opportunity to experience professional conference, acquire information about graduate school and professions in physics, as well as interact with other women in physics of all ages in order to share experiences, advice, and ideas.

Higgs boson scientists win the Nobel Prize for Physics
2013-10-08 16:30:12| Extremetech
Peter Higgs, the theoretical physicist after which the Higgs boson is named, has been awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physics. Higgs shares the prize with Francois Englert, another theoretical physicist who reached similar conclusions about the Higgs boson around the same time, in the mid-'60s. Higgs and Englert will share a prize fund of around $1 million, while CERN -- which discovered the Higgs boson last year -- will receive nothing.

Under pressure: The extreme physics of new non-invasive cranial monitoring devices
2013-09-17 20:01:39| Extremetech
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is notoriously difficult to guage without a highly invasive procedure, yet in terms of predictive value, it gives perhaps the most bang for the buck in a wide variety of circumstances. Two new startups, HeadSense and Third Eye Diagnostics have caught the attention of the bigger players by coming up with unique technology to measure ICP without all the mess.
