CRYOGENIC PHONON SCINTILLATORS TO HELP IN SEARCH FOR DARK MATTER, March 17
What do WIMPs and MRIs have in common?
Besides being acronyms, both the dark matter candidate and the medical diagnostic technique could benefit from the next generation of cryogenic scintillators being developed. While physicists are primarily focusing on the search for dark matter and answers to how the universe is built, they're creating a detector with superior energy resolution and distinguishing capabilities that could have repercussions beyond the questions of the universe.

SYNCHROTRON X-RAY EXPERIMENTS IN THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAGNETIC FIELD, March 17
A combination of high magnetic fields and "quantum beam" such as synchrotron x-rays or neutrons is one of most powerful experimental means to examine the magnetic and the electronic properties of strongly correlated electron systems and of functional materials for spintronics applications.
