GENEVA (Reuters) - An international team of scientists in Italy studying the same neutrino particles colleagues say appear to have travelled faster than light rejected the startling finding this weekend, saying their tests had shown it must be wrong.The September announcement of ...

LONDON (Reuters) - A new experiment appears to provide further evidence that Einstein may have been wrong when he said nothing could go faster than the speed of light, a theory that underpins modern thinking on how the universe works.The new evidence, ...

The guardians of the world's most important standards of weights and measures have turned to the weird universe of quantum physics to try to resolve a dilemma.To the bafflement of scientists, a cylinder of metal sitting in a closely-guarded strongbox that is ...

A mathematics institute which opened in Senegal this week is the first step to creating a west African science centre, which backers hope could produce the continent's own Albert Einstein.The institute is the second of its kind on the continent. It is ...

LONDON (Reuters) - British scientists have devised a way of using graphene, the thinnest material in the world, to capture and convert more light than previously, paving the way for advances in high-speed Internet and other optical communications.In a study in the ...

GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) - CERN, focus of research into the Big Bang and what makes the universe tick, on Thursday announced a new program -- fusing science with art to encourage painting and music inspired by the wonders of the cosmos.Or more ...

Physicists who won last year's Nobel Prize for isolating graphene, the world's thinnest material, said Sunday they had devised ways of studying the novel substance at the fundamental level of the electron.In a study published in the journal Nature Physics, Russian-born physicists ...

The world's biggest particle collider set a new record early Monday, a feat that should accelerate the quest to pinpoint the elusive particle known as the Higgs Boson, a senior physicist said."Last night, a symbolic frontier was crossed," said Michel Spiro, president ...

Japanese scientists at a boozy office party stumbled across a discovery they hope will help revolutionise efficient energy transmission one day: red wine makes a metal compound superconductive.The researchers plan to showcase their surprise findings later this year, the 100th anniversary of ...

Huge objects in the universe distort space and time with the force of their gravity, scientists said Wednesday after a NASA probe confirmed two key parts of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity."Einstein survives," chuckled Francis Everitt, Stanford University physicist and principal ...
