Electromagnons
Electromagnons open up new opportunities to control electric and magnetic properties. Michel Kenzelmann This week, the Magnetism and Magnetic Materials Conference takes place in Scottsdale, Arizona. This article takes a look back on the discovery of electromagnons, and how it influenced the search for materials with coupled electric and magnetic properties. Physical phenomena living in […]
LHC proton run for 2011 reaches successful conclusion
October 31, 2011
Geneva, 31 October 2011. After some 180 days of running and four hundred trillion (4×1014) proton proton collisions, the LHC’s 2011 proton run came to an end at 5.15pm yesterday evening. For the second year running, the LHC team has largely surpassed its operational objectives, steadily increasing the rate at which the LHC has delivered […]

…. in sky brightness due to distant radio sources Ashok K. Singal According to the cosmological principle, the Universe should appear isotropic, without any preferred directions, to an observer whom we may consider to be fixed in the co-moving co-ordinate system of the expanding Universe. Such an observer is stationary with respect to the average […]
New Thermodynamic Paradigm of Chemical Equilibria
October 31, 2011
B. Zilbergleyt The paper presents new thermodynamic paradigm of chemical equilibrium, setting forth comprehensive basics of Discrete Thermodynamics of Chemical Equilibria (DTd). Along with previous results by the author during the last decade, this work contains also some new developments of DTd. Based on the Onsager’s constitutive equations, reformulated by the author thermodynamic affinity and […]
