  • Is supersolidity a real effect?

    Updated: 2010-09-03 15:00:23
    Nature: At low temperatures and high pressure, helium completely solidifies, or does it? In 2004 Eun-Seong Kim and Moses Chan of the Pennsylvania State University found evidence of a phase within frozen He that appeared to flow through the solid like a liquid. Since their experiment, the nature of "supersolidity" has been unresolved: Is it a true many-body quantum phenomenon or is it the result of imperfections in the solid? Nature's Eugenie Samuel Reich reports on recent experiments that might resolve the question.

  • Committee recommends that Fermilab keep seeking Higgs boson

    Updated: 2010-09-02 13:45:00
    Science: An independent committee of researchers has recommended that Fermilab’s 25-year-old Tevatron particle collider keep running through 2014, rather than shut down in September 2011 as planned. Fermilab is the only US lab that stands a chance of beating its European rival, CERN’s newer Large Hadron Collider , to the discovery of the Higgs boson, the most coveted particle in high-energy physics. Fermilab’s director, Pier Oddone, however, is concerned that the lab’s other projects may be delayed without additional funding from the Department of Energy.
