Super-cool theories secure physics prize

Article Abstract:

Alexei Abrikosov and Vitaly Ginzburg, are the two Russian physicists rewarded for their theoretical explanation of a form of superconductivity. Anthony Legget from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign is also rewarded for his work on a type of superfluid. The three theorist's, changed the field of condensed matter physics by finding the importance of interactions between atoms or electrons.

So, what's your theory?

Article Abstract:

A lot of the young theorists in physics are mostly conducting their research in United States and some of them even plan to go back to their home country after completing certain tasks. Furthermore, 2005 is the world year of physics and it is quite likely that these young theorists may come up with some completely new ideas to take care of the various problems.

Interim view from NASA relativity probe

Article Abstract:

The scientists working on Gravity Probe B (GP-B) are hoping to confirm the two predictions of general relativity. The findings of LAGEOS satellites might be improved by incorporating a new model of Earth's gravitational field and this might beat GP-B, whose main aim is to measure frame dragging to within 1% accuracy.
