...findings lend credence to the Standard Model theory, which posits that all matter in the universe is composed of 12 fundamental particles: a set of six leptons, or light particles which include the electron, and six quarks...
...ghost" images by varying the displayed image on the screen. While they were useful five or six years ago, they are no longer needed on today's computers. Modern monitors are coated with a layer of specially processed phosphorus that resists burning, even when hit by the same electron beam repeatedly for a long period of time...
...back her theory, Profet relies on electron-microscopy studies that show bacteria attached to the heads and tails of wriggling sperm. She also cites the existence of spiral-shaped arteries in the uterus. These specialized blood vessels constrict and dilate in a sequence timed to induce menstruation. And, she claims, the blood that washes over the uterine walls differs from blood that circulates throughout the rest of the body. Menstrual blood lacks ingredients that cause clotting and is rich in special immune cells called macrophages. Even so, says Debrovner, "there is no reason to believe that blood, no matter what...
...Garden of Delight," this year's theme featured one man wearing a three-and-a half foot phallus with a green "electron" glowing on the end and a woman wearing an ID taped to each breast...
...this case, scientists observed the transitory trails of four particles into which a top and its antimatter twin should occasionally decay. Or did they? One clue was the detection of a muon, a close relative of the electron. At least, it appeared to be a muon. The reason scientists aren't sure is that the portion of the detector responsible for tracking muons is segmented like an orange. "And with the malice often displayed by inanimate objects," says University of Chicago physicist Henry Frisch with a sigh, "this muon went right up a crack between the segments...
