Galileo Galilei (2008-02-16 19:27)

Ontem, 15 de Fevereiro, relembramos o nascimento de um dos maiores cientistas: Galileo Galilei. Galileo nasceu em Itlia a 15 de Fevereiro de 1564. Ingressou na Universidade de Pisa para estudar Medicina, mas altera o seu percurso para a Matemtica. Em 1592 vai para a Universidade de Pdua onde lecciona Matemtica, Geometria e Astronomia at 1610. Especicamente, Galileo focouse na observao e experimentao, mais do que criar teorias abstractas que no foram testadas. Tambm foi o cientista que providenciou descries matemticas s leis da Fsica. Destaca-se no seu percurso os seguintes estudos: Cinemtica: Alguns dos trabalhos mais signicantes de Galileo foram executados no campo da [1]cinemtica, ao identicar que a distncia total percorrida proporcional ao quadrado do tempo. Ele tambm identicou que a parbola a trajectria ideal para o [2]movimento num plano uniformemente acelerado. Galileo tamm estudou o movimento de um pndulo. Props o princpio da inrcia, que viria a tornar-se nos fundamentos da [3]Primeira Lei de Newton do Movimento. Astronomy, the Telescope, & the Heliocentric Universe: Em 1608, surge uma nova inveno na Holanda: o telescpio. No ano seguinte Galileu cria um telescpio melhorado. Com o seu telescpio modicado, observou o cu como nunca tinha acontecido at quela data, identicando trs luas de Jupiter. Pelas suas continuadas observaes das fases de Vnus, providncia o seu suporte para defesa do modelo Heliocntrico de Coprnico. Adicionalmente, realizou outras observaes signicantes, foi o primeiro a observar manchas solares, os anis de Saturno e as crateras e montes lunares. Galileo foi perseguido pelo Tribunal Eclesistico por defender a teoria Heliocntrica, contudo a Igreja s no sc. XX com o Papa Joo Paulo II, reconhece o quo mal tratado foi este cientista. Galileo morreu de causas naturais em 8 de Janeiro de 1642.

Boomerang no espao (2008-03-29 18:00)

Takao Doi, astronauta japons, fez parte da ltima misso da NASA que aterrou na quarta-feira. Nesta viagem decidiu lanar um boomerang e vericar o que acontece. De facto o boomerang, na situao de microgravidade, realizou a sua trajectria como o faria na Terra, regressando ao seu lanador. Tudo acontece porque a trajectria deste objecto no depende da gravidade, mas depende da atmosfera em si (foras e presso exercidas na superfcie deste).

Milky Way is bigger, more dense and faster than previously thought (2009-01-07 18:18)
[1] American scientists discovered that the Milky Way is 15 % larger in width, 50 % more dense and turns at a speed nearly 15 % higher than previously thought. These data were presented by researchers from the National Radio Observatory and the Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics Harvard-Smithsonian a meeting of the American Society of Astronomy held in Long Beach, California. in Lusa image from [2]NASA It has more weight and be faster, it also has greater gravitational force and therefore the greater the potential for conict with neighboring galaxies, like Andromeda, earlier than expected, even though the billions of light years away, warn the researchers. The fact that scientic observations are made from within the galaxy makes the measurements and study of its structure, which makes it easier for the other galaxies. Previously, the value of the magnitude of the Milky Way was calculated from indirect measurements, but the radio-telescopes VLBA the National Science Foundation in the United States now can record images with high quality and make direct measurements of distances and movements regardless of other factors such as brightness. In images captured by radio telescopes, scientists are located in regions of the Milky Way profuse creation of stars in which the gas molecules increase radio broadcasts. These areas are bright for the brand of radio-telescope, which determines the three-dimensional movements of these regions, which mostly does not follow a circular path as you move the galaxy, but elliptical and a lower speed to those described by other regions . It was thus possible to calculate the speed at which the Milky Way rotates around its center is about 914,000 kilometers per hour, 15 percent more than the 791,800 miles per hour that were accepted as a measure for decades. The team of researchers also suggested that the galaxy has four arms of gas and dust in spiral in which stars are formed, not two. 18

Methane on Mars (2009-01-21 16:26)

English version: On Earth, 90 percent of the gas is produced by living beings There are methane on Mars in the summer, will be a sign of life? 15.01.2009 - 19h32 Clara Barata, Reuters There are large quantities of methane and water vapor in the atmosphere of Mars during the summer - which is the best evidence so far that there may be life on the red planet. This gas does not survive long in the atmosphere. On Earth, 90 percent of the methane has biological origin. On Mars, methane may have biological or geochemistry origin, says the team of Michael Mumma, of the NASA Goddard Center. The team is not the rst to detect methane on Mars, but is the rst to associate it to the time when the temperatures go up, the gas plume seems to arise in some areas, when the summer comes and were detected up to 19 tons of this gas in the atmosphere, using spectrometers. These instruments can measure the gases in the atmosphere by analyzing its signature feature in the electromagnetic spectrum. Until now, there are no known natural processes on the surface of any planet to produce methane. Therefore, the presence of signicant amounts of methane would require the recent release of gas from reservoirs below the surface. But its origin may be biological or not, the researchers write in Science. However, it is underground on Mars that water, and perhaps there may be underground microbes that produce methane: on Earth there are millions of years ago. translated from [1]Publico Verso Portuguesa: Na Terra, 90 por cento do gs produzido por seres vivos H metano em Marte no Vero, vir de 15.01.2009 - 19h32 Clara Barata, Reuters H grandes quantidades de bactrias subterrneas?

En la Tierra, el 90 por ciento del gas es producido por los seres vivos Hay metano en Marte en el verano, ser de origen bacteriana? 15/01/2009 - 19h32 Clara Barata, Reuters Hay grandes cantidades de metano y vapor de agua en la atmsfera de Marte durante el verano - que es la mejor evidencia hasta ahora que puede haber vida en el planeta rojo. Este gas que no sobrevive mucho tiempo en la atmsfera. En la Tierra, el 90 por ciento del metano es de origen biolgico. Hay pruebas de que algunos microorganismos marcianos estarn en la origen de la expulsin de metano, pero tambin puede ser emitido por los procesos geolgicos, como los volcanes, dijo hoy el sitio de la revista Science donde un equipo de cientcos de los Estados Unidos anuncia sus comentarios, realizados entre 2003 y 2006, gracias a tres telescopios de Hawai. En Marte, el metano puede tener origenes geoqumicas o biolgicos , dice el equipo de Michael Mumma, del Centro Goddard de la NASA. El equipo no es la primera que detecta el metano en Marte, pero es el primero en asociar el fenmeno a la poca en que las temperaturas suben, cuando llegaba el verano se detectaron hasta 19 toneladas este gas en la atmsfera, utilizando espectrmetros. Estos instrumentos pueden medir los gases en la atmsfera a travs del anlisis de su rma caracterstica en el espectro electromagntico. Hasta ahora, no se conocen los procesos naturales en la supercie de cualquier planeta para producir metano. Por lo tanto, la presencia de cantidades signicativas de metano requieren la liberacin de los reservorios de gas por debajo de la supercie. Sin embargo, su origen puede ser biolgico o no , escriben los investigadores en Science. traducido de [4]Publico

[3]USA Today: Despite widespread concern over global warming, humans are adding carbon to the atmosphere even faster than in the 1990s, researchers warned Saturday. Carbon dioxide and other gases added to the air by industrial and other activities have been blamed for rising temperatures, increasing worries about possible major changes in weather and climate.

Global warning: Polar Ice melting faster (2009-02-26 12:59)

English version: In previous information, published in this blog, was knowed that, compared to the 90s, there was an increase in carbon dioxide emissions, with implications for increased global warming. This increase, higher than expected, also inuences the melting of the polar circles, during the summer months, as shown in the report of the [1]International Polar Year. This melting will increase the level of the sea, and probably a worsening of weather conditions worldwide.

One mission, many benets The mapping of the gravity eld of the Earth with high precision will be useful to all areas of Earth sciences. In the eld of geodesy, an unied model of reference in measurements of height, allowing a better mapping of sea level changes. In the eld of oceanography, is to get a better knowledge of the eld of gravity, will reduce the current uncertainty concerning about the transfer of heat and mass of the oceans, resulting in huge improvements in global models about movement of mass of water in the oceans and climate forecasting. The GOCE will also improve our knowledge about the rocky substrate of the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica. In the eld of geophysics, combining the results of GOCE with data of magnetism, topography and seismology will help to produce maps in 3D, with great detail, of changes in density in the earths crust and upper mantle, improving our understanding about the processes that are responsible for natural disasters. source [2]ESA Verso Portuguesa: Ontem foi lanado o GOCE (Gravity eld and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) desenvolvido pela Agncia Espacial Europeia (ESA).

A CD has the very cool property of behaving like a reective diraction grating. An ordinary diraction grating is a grid of tiny, evenly spaced opaque lines on an otherwise transparent material. Light can pass through the material but it has to bend around the lines, which are about the size of a wavelength of visible light. in PhysicsBuzz [1]Physics Buzz: How to Build a Spectrometer with Just Three Household Items Shared via [2]AddThis -[Verso Portuguesa]- Um artigo do PhysicsBuzz mostra como construir um espectrmetro com coisas simples que temos em casa!

Fermi Problem - Classroom (2009-09-15 14:36)

Problema de Fermi:
Supondo que no est numa grande sala de aula e o professor fecha a porta no incio da aula, quanto tempo levar para que voc e seus colegas esgotem o oxignio?
Voc decide se os clculos so razoveis. Vamos construir primeiro a nossa sala de aula. Ter 5 metros de largura e comprimento e 3 metros de altura. Na prtica, as dimenses mtricas de volume ser: 5 metros por 5 metros por 3 metros = 75 metros cbicos. Um metro cbico 1 000 litros, ento agora temos 75 000 litros de ar fresco. O contedo de oxignio do ar de cerca de 21 por cento, e em cerca de 17,5 por cento dever ser suciente para sair correndo da sala gritando. Para passar de ar fresco e respirvel para absolutamente sufocante, faamos a diferena entre ter 21 por cento dos 75 000 litros e 17,5 por cento dos 75 000 litros. Isso nos d 2.625 litros de oxignio de passagem. O prximo passo ser determinar quanto oxignio que um ser humano consome. Foi difcil encontrar uma fonte convel, mas neste [1]artigo sobre a instalao em 2006, de um novo sistema de criao de oxignio na Estao Espacial Internacional, fornece uma pista:
Durante as operaes normais, fornecer 5 kg por dia; o suciente para suportar seis membros da tripulao. Assim, uma pessoa precisa de cerca de 900 g de oxignio por dia, ou 0,9 kg. Mas quantos litros ? O oxignio tem uma massa molar de 16 gramas, assim o gs oxignio, ou O2, tem uma massa de 32 gramas por mole. Um mol de gs presso normal e temperatura ocupa 22,4 litros. Ou seja: 0,9 kg x (1000 g / 1 kg) x (1 mol O2 / 32 g O2) x (22,4 L / 1 O2 mole) Isso d um consumo de oxignio de 630 litros dirios por pessoa. Vamos comear numa taxa mais razovel: (630 L / dia) x (1 dia / 24 horas) x (1 hora / 60 mins)
33
BlogBook
3.7. September
Agora, temos a taxa de consumo de oxignio utilizvel de 0,4375 litros por minuto. Estamos quase l. A seguir preenchemos a sala de aula com 34 alunos e 1 professor. Os 35 ocupantes consomem 15,3125 litros por minuto. Assim, para o clculo nal: 2625 L x (1 minuto / 15,3125 L) O que levar cerca de 171 minutos, ou 2 horas e 51 minutos para a sala tornar-se insuportavelmente sufocante. Pode vericar que comear a sentir-se muito desconfortvel cerca de uma hora e meia de durao da palestra, um bom argumento para as aulas serem mais curtas. traduzido de: [2]physicsbuzz

LED bulbs (2009-09-30 10:31)

The new products use Panasonics own heat dissipation technology to increase the bulbs energy-eciency. Generally speaking, LEDs luminous eciency increases as temperature decreases. So it is important to lower and optimize the temperature of an LED package to achieve higher luminous eciency. By applying alumite treatment to the surface, Panasonic successfully increased heat dissipation to lower the temperate of the LED package. Combining this technology with the design which tightly joins the LED package and the casing, the company has achieved the industrys highest energy eciency in LED bulbs1). Also, when used as a downlight, the 6.9 W standard type LED bulbs deliver the brightness equivalent to 60 W incandescent bulbs5). That means it can save up to 2,000 yen per year on energy bills. The 4.0 W standard and 5.5 W compact LED bulbs produce the output comparable to 40 W incandescents and the 7.6 W standard LED bulbs have the brightness of 60 W incandescents when used as a downlight6).
Panasonic also made the new LED bulbs the lightest2) in the industry by making the casing thinner and reducing the amount of aluminum used in the product. The standard size E26 base bulb weighs only 100 g and the compact size E17 base bulb weighs 50 g. Further, Panasonic employed its own thermal analysis technology to optimize the heat dissipating conguration (heat sink) to create the most compact E26 base LED bulbs in terms of length and outer diameter. The new LED lamps, including the industrys rst E17 base LED bulbs, will easily t into existing xtures with which other replacement bulbs did not physically match.

3.8. October
The E26 base LED bulbs have a long lifespan of up to 40,000 hours. That means they last for about 19 years when used for 5.5 hours a day. The E17 base LED bulbs have about 20,000 hour life span.

X-Rays day (2010-01-05 17:56)

[1][f_bague] First X-Ray image from: esrf.eu
X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of [2]electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a [3]wavelength in the range of 10 to 0.01 [4]nanometers, corresponding to [5]frequencies in the range 3 1016Hz to 3 1019 Hz and energies in the range 120 [6]eV to 120 [7]keV. They are shorter in wavelength than [8]UV rays. In many languages, X-radiation is called Rntgen radiation after [9]Wilhelm Conrad Rntgen, who is generally credited as their discoverer, and who had called them X-rays to signify an unknown type of radiation. [10]Wilhelm Conrad Rntgen is usually credited as the discoverer of X-rays because he was the rst to systematically study them, though he is not the rst to have observed their eects. He is also the one who gave them the name X-rays, though many referred to these as Rntgen rays for several decades after their discovery. X-rays were found emanating from [11]Crookes tubes, experimental [12]discharge tubes invented around 1875, by scientists investigating the [13]cathode rays, that is energetic [14]electron beams, that were rst created in the tubes. Crookes tubes created electrons by [15]ionization of the residual air in the tube by a high DC [16]voltage of anywhere between a few [17]kilovolts and 100 kV. This voltage accelerated the electrons coming from the [18]cathode to a high enough velocity that they created X-rays when they struck the [19]anode or the glass wall of the tube. Many of the early Crookes tubes undoubtedly radiated X-rays, because early researchers noticed eects that were attributable to them, as detailed below. [20]Wilhelm Rntgen was the rst to systematically study them, in 1895. Among the important early researchers in X-rays were [21]Ivan Pulyui, [22]William Crookes, [23]Johann Wilhelm Hittorf, [24]Eugen Goldstein, [25]Heinrich Hertz, [26]Philipp Lenard, [27]Hermann von Helmholtz,[28]Nikola Tesla, [29]Thomas Edison, [30]Charles Glover Barkla, [31]Max von Laue, and [32]Wilhelm Conrad Rntgen.

CO2 to CH4 (2010-01-06 16:06)
English version: Japanese researchers announced today that they had discovered a way to turn carbon dioxide (CO2) captured and stored in the soil to methane (CH4), which can help the combat against greenhouse eect and produce natural gas.
This conversion process is to capture the CO2 underground, using a bacterium, discovered o the northern coast of the large Japanese island of Honshu, on the seabed, to convert CO2 into CH4. The biggest diculty is to strengthen the bacteria to accelerate the generation of methane, explained a spokesman for the Japanese research agency. In its natural state, this transformation will take several thousands of years, but the researchers hope to develop technology to reduce this period to one hundred years. So could become one of the greatest hopes in the ght against global warming. imagem [1]ecodebate Verso Portuguesa: Investigadores japoneses anunciaram, hoje, ter descoberto um meio de transformar o dixido de carbono (CO2) captado e armazenado no solo em metano (CH4), o que pode ajudar a combater o efeito estufa e a fabricar gs natural. 44

[bigbang_multiverse.jpg] Image from [2]Physics of the Universe
Quantum mechanics tells us that the vacuum of space is not empty; instead, it crackles with energy. It also tells us that, sooner or later, any given universe will decay spontaneously into another one with lower energy. Indeed, most cosmologists envisage our big bang as precisely such an event, during which the vacuum we live in emerged from a higher-energy vacuum that constituted a universe before ours. What matters here, though, is that there are a plethora of possible universes that can be produced in this way - each one with its own probability. By adding up these probabilities, Bousso was able to work out the various probabilities of the observer ending up in a universe with a particular set of characteristics. A brief chronological listing of some of the most important discoveries in cosmology, astronomy and physics, from ancient Babylon, India and Greece, right up to the 20th Century.

The Physics of Curling (2010-03-07 17:37)

English version: [1]scienceblogs.com by Matt Springer
Verso Portuguesa: (Traduo do artigo original indicado em cima) O curling um desporto cujo objectivo, no nal de cada rodada, colocar as pedras o mais prximo possvel do centro do ringue. Do ponto de lanamento at o centro do anel de cerca de 97 ps (29,56 m). O atrito com o gelo, leva a pedra a parar nesse espao. Por que no estimar a quantidade de atrito do gelo contra a pedra? O atrito intrinsecamente um fenmeno muito complexo, mas frequentemente uma boa aproximao dizer que uma fora no sentido oposto do movimento, com uma magnitude proporcional fora da superfcie sobre o objecto igual fora da gravidade, no presente caso. Geralmente chamada de fora normal, porque normal, neste contexto, signica perpendicular, i.e. a fora perpendicular superfcie onde se movimenta a pedra. A relao entre essas duas foras (fora de atrito e a fora normal) o coeciente de atrito. Assim, podemos escrever a equao que descreve a fora de atrito:
Onde mu grego o coeciente de atrito, e a massa m da pedra vezes a acelerao da gravidade g a fora normal. Sabemos tambm, porque usamos tantas vezes, que um objecto em movimento acelerado a 1D obedece as equaes padro de movimento acelerado:
e Aqui d a distncia de viagem da pedra, t o tempo que leva a pedra a completar a sua viagem, a a acelerao devido ao atrito, v0 a velocidade inicial. Quando a pedra termina a sua viagem a velocidade ser 0, da o 0 para a velocidade nal na ltima equao. Sabemos que a fora igual massa vezes acelerao, deste modo a acelerao devido ao atrito ser a fora de atrito dividida pela massa: a = * g.

Mas no se sabe a velocidade inicial. No temos nenhuma forma de medir isso. Mas temos o tempo total da viagem. Se ouvirmos os comentadores, 24 segundos ou mais uma linha tpica de tempo Hog line to tee line . A partir da, pode-se manipular algebricamente as equaes para eliminar a velocidade inicial e resolver o coeciente de atrito:
Como esperado, quanto mais uma pedra leva a percorrer uma determinada distncia, menor o atrito. O curling usa unidades do Sistema Ingls, assim com g = 32 ps / s 2, d = 97 metros, e t = 24 segundos, calculando tem-se = 0,011.

The Birth of Stars This new Hubble photo is but a small portion of one of the largest seen star-birth regions in the galaxy, the Carina Nebula. Towers of cool hydrogen laced with dust rise from the wall of the nebula. Reminiscent of Hubbles classic image of the Eagle Nebula dubbed the Pillars of Creation this image is even more striking in appearance. Captured here are the top of a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and the dust that is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. The pillar is also being pushed apart from within, as infant stars buried inside it re o jets of gas that can be seen streaming from towering peaks like arrows sailing through the air.

M51 Hubble Remix The 51st entry in Charles Messiers famous catalog is perhaps the original spiral nebulaa large galaxy with a well dened spiral structure also cataloged as NGC 5194. Over 60,000 light-years across, M51s spiral arms and dust lanes clearly sweep in front of its companion galaxy, NGC 5195. Image data from the Hubbles Advanced Camera for Surveys was reprocessed to produce this alternative portrait of the well-known interacting galaxy pair. The processing sharpened details and enhanced color and contrast in otherwise faint areas, bringing out dust lanes and extended streams that cross the small companion, along with features in the surroundings and core of M51 itself. The pair are about 31 million light-years distant. Not far on the sky from the handle of the Big Dipper, they ocially lie within the boundaries of the small constellation Canes Venatici.

Assembly Line of Stars The constellation Vulpecula is a veritable entire assembly line of newborn stars. The diuse glow reveals the widespread cold reservoir of raw material that our Milky Way galaxy has in stock for building stars. Large-scale turbulence from the giant colliding galactic ows causes this material to condense into the web of laments seen in this image. As the stellar material becomes colder and denser, gravitational forces take over and fragment these laments into chains of stellar embryos that can nally collapse to form baby stars. These scientic results from the European Space Agencys Herschel infrared space observatory are revealing previously hidden details of star formation. New images show thousands of distant galaxies furiously building stars and beautiful star-forming clouds draped across the Milky Way. Presented on May 6, 2010, during a major scientic symposium held at ESA, the results challenge old ideas of star birth, and open new roads for future research. NASA / ESA/Hi-GAL Consortium 60

The Crab Nebula The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova noted by Earth-bound chroniclers in 1054 A.D., is lled with mysterious laments that are not only tremendously complex, but appear to have less mass than expelled in the original supernova and a higher speed than expected from a free explosion. The Crab Nebula spans about 10 light-years. In the nebulas very center lies a pulsar: a neutron star as massive as the Sun but with only the size of a small town. The Crab Pulsar rotates about 30 times each second. NASA, ESA, J. Hester, A. Loll (ASU)

Trio of Galaxies Mixes It Up Though they are the largest and most widely scattered objects in the universe, galaxies do collide. The Hubble Space Telescope has photographed many pairs of galaxies colliding. Like snowakes, no two examples look exactly alike. This is one of the most arresting galaxy smash-up images to date. At rst glance, it looks as if a smaller galaxy has been caught in a tug-of-war between a Sumo-wrestler pair of elliptical galaxies. The hapless, mangled galaxy may have once looked more like our Milky Way, a pinwheel-shaped galaxy. Now that its caught in a cosmic blender, its dust lanes are being stretched and warped by the tug of gravity. Unlike the elliptical galaxies, the spiral is rich in dust and gas for the formation of new stars. It is the fate of the spiral galaxy to be pulled like tay and then swallowed by the pair of elliptical galaxies, which will trigger a restorm of new stellar creation. NASA, ESA and R.

Menkhib and the California Nebula NASAs Wide-eld Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, features one of the bright stars in the constellation Perseus, named Menkhib (at upper left near the red dust cloud), surrounded by the large star-forming California Nebula, running diagonally through the image. Menkhib is one of the hottest stars visible in the night sky; its surface temperature is about 37,000 Kelvin (about 66,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or more than six times hotter than the sun). Because of its high temperature, it appears blue-white to the human eye. It has about 40 times the mass of our sun and gives o 330,000 times the amount of light. Menkhib is a runaway star, and the fast stellar wind it blows is piling up in front of it to create a shock wave. This shock wave is heating up dust, which WISE sees as the red cloud in the upper left of the image. NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA 64

The Wizard Nebula This image of the open star cluster NGC 7380, also known as the Wizard Nebula, is a mosaic of images from the WISE mission spanning an area on the sky of about 5 times the size of the full moon. NGC 7380 is located in the constellation Cepheus about 7,000 light-years from Earth within the Milky Way Galaxy. The star cluster is embedded in a nebula, which spans some 110 light-years. The stars of NGC 7380 have emerged from this star-forming region in the last 5 million years or so, making it a relatively young cluster. WISE, the Wide-eld Infrared Survey Explorer mission, scans the entire sky in infrared light, picking up the glow of hundreds of millions of objects and producing millions of images. The mission is designed to uncover objects never seen before, including the coolest stars, the universes most luminous galaxies and some of the darkest near-Earth asteroids and comets.

BlogBook Grating Spectrometer show that a strong wind is being driven away from the center of NGC 1068 at a rate of about a million miles per hour. This wind is likely generated as surrounding gas is accelerated and heated as it swirls toward the black hole. A portion of the gas is pulled into the black hole, but some of it is blown away. High energy X-rays produced by the gas near the black hole heat the ouowing gas, causing it to glow at lower X-ray energies. X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are shown in red, optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope in green and radio data from the Very Large Array in blue. The spiral structure of NGC 1068 is shown by the X-ray and optical data, and a jet powered by the central supermassive black hole is shown by the radio data. NGC 1068 is located about 50 million light years from Earth and contains a supermassive black hole about twice as massive as the one in the middle of the Milky Way Galaxy.

A Mosaic of Cassiopeia This mosaic of images from the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explore, or WISE, in the constellation of Cassiopeia contains a large star-forming nebula within the Milky Way Galaxy, called IC 1805 or the Heart Nebula, a portion of which is seen at the right of the image. IC 1805 is more than 6,000 light-years from Earth. Also visible in this image are two nearby galaxies, Maei 1 and Maei 2. In visible light these galaxies are hidden by dust in IC 1805 and were unknown until 1968 when Paolo Maei found them using infrared observations. Both galaxies contain billions of stars and are located some 10 million light-years away. Maei 1 is a lenticular galaxy, which has a disk-like structure and a central bulge but no spiral structure or appreciable dust content. Maei 2 is a spiral galaxy that also has a disk shape, but with a bar-like central bulge and two prominent dusty spiral arms. NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA 66

Draw me a physicist, please credit: CERN 70

4.6. June By James Dacey
BlogBook
Heres my pick from a collection of artwork produced by schoolchildren in France and Switzerland who were asked to draw me a physicist. The kids, who came from 20 primary school classes from the Pays de Gex and the Canton of Geneva, were given the opportunity to visit CERN and to interview some of the physicists there. The picture of the world of research we get from them is full of surprises, explains Corinne Pralavorio, who handled the project on the CERN side. Its a mirror, allowing us to see how young people out there perceive scientists. There is a history dating back to the 1970s of sociologists using artwork to gauge childrens perceptions of scientists. It is thought of as a useful way to explore some of the assumptions and stereotypes that may encourage or deter pupils from opting to take a career in science. From 12 to 23 June CERN will exhibit more than 160 drawings and denitions by children on the subject of scientic research. If you cant make it (or cant wait that long), then you can see a selection of the images [2]here. from Physicsworld.com

What went wrong? 10 oil-spill ills (2010-06-13 14:34)
[1] [2]What went wrong? 10 oil-spill ills: (...)Heres a quick recap of what went wrong at the wellhead, and what could go wrong in the future: 1. Why did the well explode in the rst place? The Deepwater Horizon oil well, 5,000 feet beneath the sea surface, was right between the exploratory drilling phase and its operational phase. Executives from BP and the other companies involved in the drilling told a Senate hearing that heavy drilling mud was removed from the well without putting on a nal cement cap. That move has [3]drawn severe criticism, because it reduced downward pressure on the well. Oil and gas blasted up the line on April 20, touching o the initial explosion. The arguments over what the companies did or didnt do in advance of the blast will play a key role in the [4]coming avalanche of lawsuits. 2. Could this rig have been saved? Fireghters worked mightily to put out the blaze, which killed 11 workers. Some have questioned whether the tons of water and re retardant

BlogBook
4.6. June
dumped onto the rig [5]contributed to its sinking on April 22. If the rig could somehow have been saved from sinking, that would have made the job of capping the oil leak much easier. Instead, the rig fell to the bottom of the sea, mangling the riser line that led up from the wellhead. 3. Why didnt the blowout preventer work? The ve-story-high contraption known as a blowout preventer, or BOP, was supposed to be the fail-safe option to close o the leaking well. The BOP contains a series of valves that should have closed upon command, or if the oil-and-gas pressure went out of control. Oil executives voiced profound disappointment that it didnt work. So why didnt it? [6]Technology Review points to several reports, issued years ago, that say blowout control measures that are reliable in shallow waters are not so reliable below depths of 3,000 feet or so. This particular BOP might have been damaged by debris during the rigs fall, or it might have been unable to withstand the pressure from this particular well. Even remotely operated vehicles were unable to close down the valves - which suggests that the gush has irreparably damaged the BOPs plumbing. Would a backup BOP have done any good? Thats a question to be considered during the crisis postmortem. 4. Why didnt the containment box work? In early May, BP had hoped that a 40-foot-high containment box could be lowered over the wells leaking pipe and suck up the oil and gas. The problem was that the box was too big: The seawater that was trapped within reacted with the methane bubbling up from the leak, forming [7]crystals of methane hydrate. Those crystals essentially [8]plugged up the hose so that oil could not be sucked up ... kind of like the hair that gets stuck in a vacuum-cleaner attachment. Whats more, the crystals were lighter than water, which made the box too buoyant to keep clamped over the leaking pipe. In mid-May, BP switched to a [9]dierent siphoning system that brought up oil from within the broken riser line. 5. What went wrong with the siphon? The four-inch siphoning tube worked, but it could collect only a fraction of the leaking oil - [10]5,000 barrels a day at best. During the early phase of the oil disaster, some experts thought the total leakage amounted to 5,000 barrels a day. The siphoning operation made it obvious that much more oil than that was getting into the Gulf. To plug the leak completely, BP pinned its hopes on an operation known as [11]top kill, which involved pushing enough heavy drilling mud down the well to counteract the pressure of oil and gas. 6. What went wrong with the top kill? BP pushed the mud down the well for hours at a time, for three days. But the operation could never get enough mud down the hole to keep the oil and gas from [12]gushing back up. The exercise reminded me of trying to unplug a kitchen drain by running tap water down the sink with the garbage disposal on. Gunk just came ooding back up every time they turned o the spigot. 7. Why didnt the junk shot work? One of the extra twists to the top kill maneuver was to throw some extra debris - say, golf balls or strips of rubber - into the drilling mud, in hopes of plugging up the blowout preventers leaky plumbing. This is whats known as a junk shot. Engineers told The New York Times that the [13]junk shot didnt come close to succeeding, apparently because the debris didnt gum up the works as they hoped. BP set aside the strategy of sealing o the wellhead, and instead tried to suck up the oil using a contraption known as the [14]lower marine riser package, the LMRP, or the top cap. 8. Is the top cap working? Sort of. The top cap doesnt run into the methane-hydrate problems that the containment box did because it closes more tightly over the pipe leading up from the blowout preventer. Less water gets inside the chamber, which provides less opportunity for hydrate crystals to form. Methanol can also be pumped into the cap to [15]retard hydrate formation. To attach the cap, remotely operated vehicles had to saw o the dented riser line - and that part of the operation didnt go as smoothly as hoped. After the saw got stuck, a part of the riser had to be cut o with a giant pair of shears, leaving a jagged edge on the pipe. The cap has four vents to ease the oil/gas pressure while its being put into place and checked out. So far, only one of the vents has been closed. As a result, lots of oil is still being vented into the sea. BP says progress is being made, with 7,850 barrels of oil being 72

BlogBook
collected over a 12-hour period today. However, experts say cutting o the riser line actually [16]increased the total ow of oil, eectively making things worse ... at least temporarily. Other oil-sucking systems are being put in place, including the [17]Q4000 arrangement that was used for the unsuccessful top kill and a [18]free-oating riser thats designed to ride out hurricane season. 9. Whos in charge, and what have they got? Eorts to contain the oil on the surface are another story entirely, but the main concern here is whether enough resources are being brought to bear. BP is responsible for the cost of the oil cleanup, and over the past few days company executives have said they will [19]meet our obligations. But critics worry that the cleanup hasnt kept up with the threats posed by the spill. [20]Todays report about an undersea plume of oil contamination stretching as far as 142 miles from the spill site raises the level of concern. Alaska marine biologist Rick Steiner, a veteran of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill response and a longtime critic of the petroleum industry, is worried that the cleanup eort is losing steam. He complained that marine contractors have done a terrible job of tending the containment booms around coastal areas. [21]Disaster fatigue could become more prevalent as the crisis continues. 10. Will the relief wells work? Experts have been saying since late April that the long-term x for the oil leak depends on the [22]relief wells that are being drilled beneath the seaoor. Those 18,000-foot-deep wells are supposed to intersect with the gushing well, and provide openings for BP to push mud and cement down into the leak. As of Monday, the wells have reached depths of 12,956 feet and 8,576 feet, BP said. The wells are due for completion by August, but theres no guarantee that theyll actually intersect with the original well. Some have compared the job to threading a needle, or nding a needle in a haystack. Last year, after an Australian oshore-oil blowout, it took [23]ve attempts to hit the mark. If the Gulf of Mexico situation develops in the same way, that could add weeks upon frustrating weeks to the duration of the disaster.

Proton Shrink in size (2010-07-07 20:14)
The proton seems to be 0.00000000000003 millimetres smaller than researchers previously thought, according to work published in todays issue of Nature. in [1]Nature.com The research made at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany. Counted with Portuguese scientist eort from Coimbra University and Aveiro University. The dierence is so innitesimal, but the new measurements could mean that there is a gap in existing theories of quantum mechanics. Theres three questions about this problem, one of them is the answer: a) the theory (QED[1]) is incomplete and theres something that it cannot foresee; b) the calculus[2] are wrong; c) the Rydbergs constant[3] value is wrong . [1] QED - Quantum Electrodynamics describes the interactions between light and matter and is one of the most successful in predicting the properties of atoms. [2] The calculations are those who, from that theory, allow to calculate the size (radius) of the proton, one of the basic constituents of atoms. [3] Rydberg constant whose value is also linked to the size of the proton.

Incredible shrinking proton raises eyebrows - physics-math - 07 July 2010 - New Scientist (2010-07-09 17:02)
[1] How big is a proton? The most accurate measurement yet suggests its smaller than we thought. This could be due to an error or it might just hint at totally new particle physics. The new experiment presents a puzzle with no obvious candidate for an explanation, says Peter Mohr of the international [2]Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA), which calculates values for fundamental constants in physics, who was not involved in the new work. (...) The electron can sit in a variety of energy shells, each with a dierent distribution in space. One shells distribution requires the electron to dive in and out of the proton, and another sits entirely outside the proton. The energies of both of these shells can be combined to deduce 78
4.7. July the protons radius, using a theory known as [3]quantum electrodynamics (QED).
BlogBook
(...) New physics? Mohr reckons the problem is likely to lie with an error in one of the measurements; either that of the hydrogen atom or the muonic atom, or with an error in the calculations. Savely Karshenboim, also a CODATA member at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, is betting on an error in the muonic atom study because it contradicts another convincing result. If such errors are ruled out, however, the discrepancy would point to a problem with QED, a theory that underpins much of particle physics. That deciency opens the door to new physics at work in atoms, such as previously unknown particles. Pohl stands by his experimental result, but cautions against leaping to this conclusion. New physics can of course always be used to explain any discrepancy, but before such a claim can be made, a lot of hard work is ahead. Journal reference: Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature09250

Buoyancy and Density (2010-08-16 17:58)

[EMBED] Density The density of a material is dened as its [1]mass per unit [2]volume. The symbol of density is (the Greek letter [3]rho). In some countries (for instance, in the United States), density is also dened as its [4]weight per unit [5]volume. Formula Mathematically: Density = Mass Divided By Volume
where: (rho) is the density, m is the mass, V is the volume. Dierent materials usually have dierent densities, so density is an important concept regarding [6]buoyancy, metal purity and [7]packaging. In some cases density is expressed as the [8]dimensionless quantities [9]specic gravity (SG) or [10]relative density (RD), in which case it is expressed in multiples of the density of some other standard material, usually water or air/gas. font [11]Wikipedia (more information in Wikipedia link).

Qual o tamanho de um meteoro para chegar ao solo? (2010-08-23 15:55)

Amplify d from [1]ciencia.hsw.uol.com.br Quo grande um meteoro precisa ser para chegar ao solo? [2][meteoro_2.jpg] Meteoro das Lenidas, desta vez do ano 2001. A nuvem aqui visvel parte do rasto de detritos deixados pela sua passagem, resultante um compsite de duas imagens separadas, uma do meteoro e outra da nuvem. Crdito: John Pane E como podemos ver um meteoro causado por uma partcula to pequena de matria? Acontece que o que esses meteorides perdem em massa, ganham em velocidade, e isso que causa o rastro de luz no cu. Os meteorides entram na atmosfera a velocidades extremamente altas - 11 a 72 km/s. Eles podem viajar nesta velocidade muito facilmente no vcuo do espao porque no h nada para det-los. A atmosfera da terra, por outro lado, cheia de matria, o que cria um grande atrito para um objeto que viaja. Esse atrito gera calor suficiente (at 1.649C) para elevar a superfcie do meteoride at seu ponto de ebulio, de modo que o meteoride vaporizado, camada por camada.
E quo grande um meteoride precisa ser para chegar at a superfcie da terra? Surpreendentemente, a maioria dos meteorides que chegam at o cho so especialmente pequenos - de detritos microscpicos a pedaos do tamanho de uma partcula de poeira. Eles no se vaporizam porque so leves o suficiente para diminuirem a velocidade facilmente. Movendo-se a aproximadamente a 2,5 cm por segundo, atravs da atmosfera, eles no sentem o atrito intenso que os meteorides maiores atingem. Neste caso, todos os meteorides que entram na atmosfera conseguem chegar at o cho, na forma de poeira microscpica.
E para meteorides grandes o suficiente para formar meteoros visveis, as estimativas variam para o tamanho mnimo. Isso acontece porque existem outros fatores envolvidos que no o tamanho. Notoriamente, a velocidade de entrada de um meteoride afeta suas chances de alcanar 88

Normalmente, todavia, um meteoride deveria ser aproximadamente do tamanho de uma bola de gude para que uma poro dele possa alcanar a superfcie da terra. Partculas menores queimam na atmosfera a aproximadamente 8 a 120 quilmetros acima da terra.

Os meteoritos que uma pessoa poder encontrar no cho, provavelmente vieram de meteorides significativamente maiores - pedaos de detritos de pelo menos o tamanho de uma bola de basquete, j que os meteorides maiores se quebram em pedaos menores medida que viajam atravs da atmosfera.

I asked to my father how a motor engine works. He explained with all the details. In that time I didnt understood too much, but years later at school I learned that topic faster than my colleagues. So, dont be shine and explain as it is all the questions that your children have. (click below to read the rest of the article) Light Bulb The incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is a source of electric [2]light that works by [3]incandescence (a general term for heat-driven light emissions, which includes the simple case of [4]black body radiation). An [5]electric current passes through a thin[6]lament, heating it to a temperature that produces light. The enclosing glass bulb contains either a vacuum or an inert gas to prevent [7]oxidation of the hot lament. Incandescent bulbs are also sometimes called electric lamps, a term also applied to the original [8]arc lamps. Incandescent bulbs are made in a wide range of sizes and [9]voltages, from 1.5 volts to about 300 volts. They require no external regulating equipment and have a low manufacturing cost, and work well on either alternating current or direct current. As a result the incandescent lamp is widely used in household and commercial lighting, for portable lighting such as table lamps, car [10]headlamps, and [11]ashlights, and for decorative and advertising lighting. Construction Incandescent light bulbs consist of a [12]glass enclosure (the envelope, or bulb) with a [13]lament of [14]tungsten wire inside the bulb, through which an [15]electric current is passed. Contact wires and a base with two (or more) conductors provide electrical connections to the lament. Incandescent light bulbs usually contain a stem or glass mount anchored to the bulbs base which allows the electrical contacts to run through the envelope without gas/air leaks. Small wires embedded in the stem in turn support the lament and/or its lead wires. The bulb is lled with an [16]inert gas such as [17]argon to reduce [18]evaporation of the lament. An electrical current heats the lament to typically 2000 K to 3300 K (about 3100 5400F), well below tungstens melting point of 3695 K (6192F). Filament temperatures depend on the lament type, shape, size, and amount of current drawn. The heated lament emits light that approximates a [19]continuous spectrum. The useful part of the emitted energy is [20]visible light, but most energy is given o as [21]heat in the near-[22]infrared wavelengths. Three-way light bulbs have two laments and three conducting contacts in their bases. The laments share a common ground, and can be lit separately or together. Common wattages include 30 70 100, 50 100 150, and 100 200 300, with the rst two numbers referring to the individual laments, and the third giving the combined wattage. While most light bulbs have clear or frosted glass, other kinds are also produced, including the various colors used for [23]Christmas tree lights and other decorative lighting. [24]Neodymium-containing glass is sometimes used to provide a more natural-appearing light. [25]Incandescent light bulb.svg 1. Outline of Glass bulb 2.

Many arrangements of electrical contacts are used. Large lamps may have a screw base (one or more contacts at the tip, one at the shell) or a bayonet base (one or more contacts on the base, shell used as a contact or used only as a mechanical support). Some tubular lamps have an electrical contact at either end. Miniature lamps may have a wedge base and wire contacts, and some automotive and special purpose lamps have screw terminals for connection to wires. Contacts in the lamp socket allow the electric 90

current to pass through the base to the lament. Power ratings for incandescent light bulbs range from about 0.1 [27]watt to about 10,000 watts. The glass bulb of a general service lamp can reach temperatures between 200 and 260 degrees Celsius (400 to 550 degrees Fahrenheit). Lamps intended for high power operation or used for heating purposes will have envelopes made of hard glass or fused [28]quartz. font: [29]Wikipedia

The exponential growth of human population peaked in 1987. That year 87.01 million more people were added to the Earth. Since 1987, the population has declined on average by 2.1 million less people added per year. In this year of 2000 the population will increase by 60.1 million people. If we maintain this 13 year average of 2.1 million less people added per year, we will peak in population reaching zero population growth in 2029 with 6.90 billion people. The decline of human population has been even more dramatic over the last 6 years. In 1994 we added 78.5 million more people, this year we will add 60.1 million. This is a decline of 3 million less people added per year. If we maintain this 6 year average of 3 million less people added per year, we will peak in population reaching zero population growth in 2020 with 6.64 billion people. 92

APOD: 2010 September 28 - Venus South Polar Vortex (2010-09-28 13:21)

[1]APOD: 2010 September 28 - Venus South Polar Vortex
Explanation: Whats happening over the South Pole of Venus? To nd out, scientists have been studying images taken by the [2]robotic Venus Express spacecraftwhen it passes over the lower spin axis of Earths overheated twin. Surprisingly, recent images from [3]Venus Express do not conrm [4]previous sightings of a double storm system there, but rather found a single unusual swirling cloud vortex. In the [5]above recently released image sequence taken in infrared light and digitally compressed, darker areas correspond to higher temperatures and hence lower regions of Venus atmosphere. Also illuminating are [6]recently released[7]movies, which show similarities between [8]Venus southern vortex and the vortex that swirls over the [9]South Pole of Saturn. Understanding the [10]peculiar dynamics of why, at times, two eddies appear, while at other times a single peculiar eddy appears, may give insight into how [11]hurricanes evolve on Earth, and remain a topic of research for some time. In three months, the European [12]Venus Express spacecraft will be joined around Venus by [13]Akatsuki satellite. the Japanese NASA APOD

An 8-inch crack has been spotted in the foam covering the intertank section of the shuttle Discoverys external tank. Engineers are assessing that situation, which has developed since the tank was drained of its supercold propellants today. Mission Management Team prelaunch chairman Mike Moses says ocials determined it just wasnt prudent to push toward a Monday launch attempt given the amount of work ahead to resolve the hydrogen leak. Moses says the foam crack is located on the front side of the tank facing the orbiter and just above the bipod where Discoverys nose is attached. He said its too soon to know what might need to be done with that crack. from spaceightnow image credits: NASA

Baby Black Hole Dicovered (2010-11-16 13:14)

[1][499952main_sn1979c_665.jpg] Image: NASA
NASA said yesterday at a press conference that the Chandra space observatory appears to have found the youngest black hole yet found.The black hole should be a baby at the tender age of 30 years. The Black Hole was formed after the explosion / implosion of a star in supernova, SN 1979C.The star had a mass 20 times greater than our Sun.The supernova was detected in 1979 in the galaxy M100, which is located 50 million light years away from Earth. The Supernova actually took place some 50 million years ago, but as the light took that long to reach us, we only saw 30 years ago. So, looking for the same site now, we see what looks like a black hole young, 30 years - since we saw the supernova until today (actually, the black hole is 50 million years, but the light that surrounds it takes time to get to us).

AntiHydrogen at CERN (2010-11-18 12:24)
[1] Physicists working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, have succeeded in trapping antihydrogen the antimatter equivalent of the hydrogen atom a milestone that could soon lead to experiments on a form of matter that disappeared mysteriously shortly after the birth of the universe 14 billion years ago. An octupole magnet was critical to trapping antihydrogen atoms. A simple octupole magnetic eld is produced by eight bar magnets in a plane with their north and south poles arrayed radially to create a magnetic minimum at the center. The antihydrogen atom is trapped in the center because of its magnetic moment, which itself is equivalent to a tiny bar magnet. The bar magnets above and below the octupole plane in this artists rendition represent the mirror magnets that keep the atoms from squirting out the ends of the trap. (Katie Bertsche) The rst articially produced low energy antihydrogen atoms consisting of a positron, or antimatter electron, orbiting an antiproton nucleus were created at CERN in 2002, but until now the atoms have struck normal matter and annihilated in a ash of gamma-rays within microseconds of creation. image and text from [2]berkeley.edu [3]FULL ARTICLE

Airport Body Scanners: To Fear or Not to Fear? (2010-11-24 16:52)
[1]
Its that time of the year again - when Americans brace for the annual air travel melee on the industrys busiest day of the year - the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. New this year is the increased presence of total body scanners - technology developed to detect explosives stashed in the pants of a would-be terrorist - and the backlash of those who question the scanners safety. How dangerous are the total body scanners, then? [2] There is [3]disharmony between the governments ocial position on the scanners and some scientists beliefs over the potential health hazards involved with a total body scan. [...]. Both [nr: A backscatter X-ray unit (the gray and blue rectangular booth) or a millimeter wave unit (the gray cylindrical booth with clear windows] units work by ring a beam of radiation at the person being scanned. An image of the radiation that bounces back is created and viewed by a Transportation Safety Administration worker in another room. For both units, the TSA worker in the side room cannot see the person being scanned and workers operating the machine cannot see the images. If a suspicious item appears on the scan, the person then undergoes a thorough pat-down. [...] 106

[4][5] We know that X-rays can damage DNA in cells, and we know that X-rays can ultimately produce cancer. So the concern is about the possibility of inducing Xray-induced cancer in one of the individuals whos scanned, Brenner said in the interview. The TSA [6]says that the amount of radiation a person absorbs during a backscatter X-ray scan is equivalent to the same amount a person is exposed to over a period of two minutes when ying in an airplane at cruise altitude. CBS medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton [7]reported that if 1 billion people a year go through an X-ray scanner, 10 additional cancer deaths - a fraction of one percent - would result each year. [...] Looking at the images produced by the scanner, Peter Rez of Arizona State Univeristy [8]estimates that the true amount is closer to one one-hundredth or even one ftieth of a chest X-ray dose. The probability of death, he said, was closer to one in 20 million. While thats still a fraction of a percent, it is a higher risk than the risk of dying from a terrorist attack, which he put at one in 30 million. [...] Another group of scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, sent a [9]letter to the Presidents science and technology adviser arguing that the X-ray scanner poses a greater risk than medical X-rays and the radiation absorbed during a ight. In those two cases, the radiation is distributed evenly throughout the body, the doctors say. The radiation from the scanners, however, is embedded in the skin, resulting in a higher concentration of radiation in a given area. Questions remain including how the X-ray scanners will aect frequent yers (including businessmen and ight attendants who could go through security anywhere from 200 to 400 times a year), children, pregnant women and travelers with weakened immune systems. There is also a question of what could happen should

a machine get stuck or fail, potentially blasting one point on a persons body with excess X-ray radiation. The good news about scanners: Millimeter wave scanners, which are also in use at airports around the country, use very far infrared waves, waves at the opposite end of the electromagnetic spectrum from the dangerous ionizing radiation of Xray waves. X-rays are shorter waves that can penetrate the skin and alter DNA. Millimeter waves, by contrast, are longer waves that penetrate clothes but stop at the skin. The millimeter scan is akin to a heat lamp and is considered to be far safer than X-ray scanners. [...] One Congressman, Ron Paul of Texas, is sponsoring [10]legislation to ght the new scanning requirements, arguing that the examinations are a violation of the fourth amendment protecting U.S. citizens from unreasonable search and seizure. via [11]physicsbuzz.physicscentral.com (follow the link to read full article) [12]Posted via email from [13]eusicas posterous

Antimatter: very important than you know! (2010-11-28 19:05)
[1] via [2]scienceblogs.com When you want to do something, it takes energy. Where does that energy come from? From the ATOMS!! and Molecules. The Sun, rather than use chemical energy, relies on [3]nuclear energy! [...] How much more ecient? If I had a million pounds of hydrogen, and I fused the entire million pounds into helium, how much would turn into energy, and how much would turn into (helium) waste? Id get about 7,000 poundsworth of energy (which, by E=mc2, is a lot, but Id still get 993,000 pounds of waste. 0.7 % eciency isnt so great, all things considered.
[4] But thats where antimatter comes in. [...] if I brought a million pounds of fuel on board 500,000 pounds of hydrogen and 500,000 pounds of antihydrogen Id get perfect eciency: 1,000,000 pounds worth of energy and no waste. And thats why creating and trapping neutral anti-hydrogen is such a big deal! [...], we can store an arbitrarily large amount of it for as long as we want.

X particle (2010-12-10 19:55)

Image: Physicists paddle around the Super Kamiokande detector in a rubber raft as it fills with water. The detector was designed to hunt neutrinos and decaying protons, but could catch the signatures of Particle X. Credit: Kamioka Observatory, ICRR (Institute for Cosmic Ray Research),The University of Tokyo.
It seems something like the X-Files... Scientists are proposing a new hypothetical particle that could solve two cosmic mysteries at once: what dark matter is made of, and why there s enough matter for us to exist at all. We know you have to have these two ingredients to the universe, both atoms and dark matter, said [1]physicist Kris Sigurdson of the University of British Columbia, coauthor of a paper describing the new particle. Some cosmologists are thinking that the same amount of matter and antimatter was created in the Big Bang, with particles and antiparticles immediately started colliding and extinguishing each other. But the fact that stars, planets exists is a proof that wasnt happened. If matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts in the early universe, they would all have annihilated [each other], said [2]theoretical physicist Sean Tulin of the Canadian physics institute TRIUMF. There has to be some asymmetry that was left over. Together with physicists [3]Hooman Davoudiasl at Brookhaven National Lab and [4]David Morrissey of TRIUMF, Tulin and Sigurdson suggest a way to solve the problem of missing antimatter: Hide it away as dark matter. The details are published in the Nov. 19 [5]Physical Review Letters. What we know about dark matter? Well, what we know about dark matter is that it is mysterious stu that makes up a quarter of the energy density of the universe and refuses to interact with regular matter except through gravity. The most popular candidate for dark matter is a theoretical weakly interacting massive particle, or [6]WIMP, that connects only with the weak nuclear force and gravity, making it undetectable.

The new theoretical particle is completely dierent from the WIMP idea, Tulin said. The proposed particle, named simply X, has a separate antiparticle called anti-X. Equal amounts of X and anti-X were created in the Big Bang, and then decayed to lighter particles. Each X decayed into either a neutron or two dark-matter particles, called Y and . Every anti-X converted to an anti-neutron or some anti-dark matter.
But the hypothetical X particle would rather decay into ordinary matter than dark matter, so it produced more neutrons than dark matter. Anti-X preferred decaying into anti-dark matter, and so produced more of it.
After all the particles and anti-particles that could nd each other collided and eliminated each other, the universe was left with some extra neutrons and a corresponding number of extra anti-dark matter particles.
The protons and neutrons can t annihilate completely with their antiparticles, because there s not enough to annihilate with, Tulin said. The same story happens in the hidden sector as well&. Some dark matter can t annihilate with anything. So you re left with some extra dark matter in the universe.
Conveniently, this picture could explain another particle-physics puzzle: why there is only ve times more dark matter than regular matter in the universe. To physicists, ve is a really small number. If dark matter and regular matter didn t spring from similar origins, there s no reason why there should be roughly the same amount of both of them.
