Top physicist Brian Box opens 3M's new innovation centre in Bracknell
2014-09-14 06:19:18| Chemicals - Topix.net
A TOP physicist and TV presenter has said Bracknell is now "on the map" for cutting-edge technology after opening a new innovation centre. Popular science presenter and former member of pop group D:Ream, Professor Brian Cox was guest of honour at the official opening of technology firm 3M's new customer innovation centre at its base in the Western Industrial Area last Thursday.
Physicist Offers $10000 To Anyone Who Can Disprove Climate Change
2014-06-23 17:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: When not refuting the 97 percent of scientists who believe in human-caused global warming, climate change deniers often draw upon the conspiracy that it`s is a fabricated theory invented by those in a position to gain financially or otherwise from efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A Texas-based physicist is turning that notion on its head by offering $10,000 of his own money to anyone who can disprove mainstream, accepted climate science. Dr. Christopher Keating, a physicist who has...

Brian Cox's Wonders of Life Brings the Universe-Tromping Physicist Back to Earth
2014-03-05 14:00:00| TechNewsWorld
There are three elements that bring a great nature documentary to life: first, you need great video footage; second, you need to infuse the content with a sense of time, scope, and wonder; and third, you need a cool narrator. Brian Cox's Wonders of Life app delivers all three. I stumbled upon the app after Apple highlighted it as an Editor's Choice.

Application Reference TEMSCSCD2013176 Type Contract Position Applied Physicist or Engineer Location Geneva, Switzerland Industry Science and Research Salary Swiss Franc 7980 Swiss Franc 9100 per month Description Are you willing to work in a multiproject environment, in a team of highly skilled physicists, engineers and technicians? Join CERNs Magnets, Superconductors and Cryostats Group and leave your mark in the development of the superconducting magnets that will make the future of the LHC. CERN. Take part! Applied Physicist or Engineer Functions As a scientist in the SCD section, you will Perform electrical measurements, analyse test results of seriesproduction Nb3Sn strands and contribute to the understanding and optimization of performance limits of different types of superconducting materials, as a function of manufacturing process parameters e.g. cabling, heat treatment, strain and stress. Define QA methods and procedures. Followup and identify critical issues that may arise during the series production of the strands. Play a key role in the characterization of RD Nb3Sn strands. Develop physical models and tools for the understanding of the measured performance. Develop tooling and sample holders, participate in the modification, design and construction of the test stations for the measurement of superconducting strands in the superconducting laboratories. Contribute to other activities performed within the section, which include development and characterization of High Temperature Superconductors MgB2, BSCCO and YBCO. Qualification required Masters Degree in the field of Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering or equivalent. A PhD will be an asset. Experience and competencies The experience required for this post is Demonstrated experience in the field of applied superconductivity, with direct experience on measurement and analysis of properties of superconductors. Experience in the field of cryogenics for applications in superconducting magnets and other superconducting devices. The technical competencies required for this post are Knowledge of superconducting materials and High Temperature Superconductivity. Design, processing and operation of stations for power tests measurement techniques and laboratory activity precision measurement electronics data acquisition. Knowledge, manufacturing, followup and QA of production of SC strands and SC cables. Data reduction and modelling techniques for applied physics, with special accent on electromagnetic and thermal phenomena. Founded in 1954 in Geneva, CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research is the worlds most advanced fundamental research institute for particle physics. Over the last 50 years, it has become a prime example of international collaboration with currently 20 member states. Please note that we only accept applications from CERN Member State nationals.
