A once-privileged physics lab faces uncertain future

Article Abstract:

The 100 physicians and engineers who work at Centro Atomico Bariloche in Bariloche, Argentina, are concerned that the research and training institute may be dissolved. Its patron, the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA), was downsized and its independence from government control reduced.

Physics finds a middle ground at Washington meeting

Article Abstract:

Research findings announced include: a new MRI technique that images through air spaces in the lungs; new measurement of the gravitational constant G; and the most sensitive search yet for an electric dipole in an atom, which has already disproved the simplest version of supersymmetry theory.
