Whirlpools of light-matter particles
18 November, 2014Physicists from The Australian National University have developed a spiral laser beam and used it to create a whirlpool of polaritons - hybrid particles that have properties of both matter and light.
If it wasn't the Higgs particle, what was it?
10 November, 2014An international research team has claimed that the Higgs boson particle, discovered in CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, could be something else entirely.
Malvern Instruments Morphologi G3-ID particle measurement system
30 October, 2014The Morphologi G3-ID, from Malvern Instruments, can accurately measure particles in the range of 0.5 to 1000 µm. An integrated dry powder dispersion system automates sample preparation for repeatable and reproducible measurements of a wide range of samples.
Retsch Camsizer P4 particle size and shape analyser
20 August, 2014The Camsizer P4 is the systematic enhancement and optimisation of the Camsizer system for the determination of particle size and particle shape with dynamic image analysis. Based on dual camera technology, the product is said to offer improved performance and extended functionalities.
Micromeritics Sedigraph III Plus particle size analyser
19 August, 2014The Micromeritics SediGraph III Plus determines particle size by using the accurate and reproducible sedimentation technique which measures the gravity-induced settling rates of different size particles in a liquid with known properties. This is a simple yet effective technique for providing particle size information for a wide variety of materials.

30 June, 2014The Zetasizer NanoSampler is a compact sample delivery system for the highly precise and reproducible automated loading of samples into the Zetasizer Nano instruments.
Evidence for the direct decay of the Higgs boson into fermions
25 June, 2014Researchers at CERN have found evidence for the direct decay of the Higgs boson into fermions. This comes two years after the discovery of the particle and indicates that it behaves in the way the standard model of particle physics predicts.
Particles Plus 5310 and 5510 Remote Airborne Particle Counters
03 June, 2014The Particles Plus 5310 and 5510 Remote Particle Counters display and report six user-selectable particle size channels, as well as temperature and relative humidity, flow and sensor status, date of last calibration, serial number, laser on-time and date of manufacture.
Particles Plus 8206 Handheld Airborne Particle Counter
02 June, 2014The Particles Plus 8206 Handheld Particle Counter measures 0.2 to 10.0 μm with a flow rate of 2.83 L/min. Easy to configure, the instrument displays up to six user-selectable size channels as well as temperature and relative humidity.
Malvern NanoSight and Zetasizer for particle characterisation
29 April, 2014Exosome research can be constrained by a lack of suitable methods for characterisation as they fall below the detection range of many currently used techniques. Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) coupled with dynamic light scattering (DLS) offers an approach that is fast, easy to use and accurate.
Exotic particle confirmed by CERN
11 April, 2014Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have confirmed the existence of a new class of subatomic particles called exotic hadrons. The LHCb collaboration, one of the four large experiments at the LHC, found that the exotic object does not fit into the pattern of particles observed up until now.
