China’s premier particle collider set for major upgrade

Physics World

Facing competition from similar colliders elsewhere in the world, IHEP began an upgrade of the BEPC in 2004. In particular, in 2012 BESIII recorded collisions that pointed to a particle that researchers were not familiar with. The feasibility study for the CEPC began in 2012 and it consists of a 100?km-circumference

Supersolidity enters a second dimension

Physics World

Gross’ original conjecture remains unproven: a purported 2004 discovery was, in 2012, shown by the same researchers to be the result of experimental error. At temperatures near absolute zero, Gross reasoned that vacancies in crystals of bulk solid helium-4 could condense into a superfluid that would flow through the solid.

What is happening in the Atlantic Ocean to the AMOC?

Real Climate

We don’t have direct measurements over such a long time (only since 2004 from the RAPID project ), but various indirect indications. For more on this see my Review Paper in Nature. The AMOC has weakened over the past hundred years. Here a quote from Liu et al. 1999; Huisman et al. 2010; Hawkins et al. 2011a,b; Bryden et al.

Luzerne County Native Dr. Kate Moran Honored For Ocean Science And Planet Sustainability Leadership By Canada

PA Environment Daily

Moran says her experience of co-leading a 2004 expedition of the first scientific drilling in the Arctic Ocean to obtain sediment and rock samples for climate change research was another cornerstone—partly for proving that drilling could occur in the middle of a moving ice-covered ocean, but mostly due to the results of the research.

Life beyond the Nobel: Russell Hulse’s path from binary pulsar discoverer to plasma physicist

Physics World

In 2004, he accepted a visiting professorship at the University of Texas at Dallas with a focus on science education, and he remains on the faculty there, though the scope of his activities has been limited since 2012, when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
