Physics News Update 807
PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News Number 807 December 29, 2006 by Phillip F. Schewe, Ben Stein, Turner Brinton, and Davide Castelvecchi www.aip.org/pnu DIRECT FORCE SENSING AT THE PICONEWTON LEVEL. The measurement of mass can be carried out at the 10^-21 gram (zeptogram) level (www.aip.org/pnu/2005/split/725-1.html) and of force to the 10^-18 newton (attonewton) level (Arlett et al., in Nano Letters, 2006). But for many measurements in the cell biology world, this is too much sensitivity. Forces in this realm are typically at the piconewton (1 pN=10^-12 newton) level. Examples include the force applied by the kinesin molecular motor protein to transport vesicles (6 pN), the force needed to unzip a DNA molecule at room temperature (9-20 pN), or the force needed to pull a DNA apart by pulling on opposite ends (65 pN). Biophysicists need a cost-effective force sensor that works reliably in water at the pN level. Steven Koch and his colleagues at Sandia National Labs are well along on delivering the needed sensor. The core of the device is a spring one millimeter long but only a micron thick and is fabricated using a standard polysilicon micromachining process. This spring operates according to the classic experiment conducted by Robert Hooke in the 17th century: the force exerted on the spring equals the amount of the springs compression or extension multiplied by a spring constant, which in this case is about 1 piconewton per nanometer. The spring, mounted on a substrate, can be used in a number of ways: it can be entrained to move with the push or pull of a biological sample or it can be made sensitive to magnetic fields and so function as a field sensor. The displacement of the spring is currently viewed by a video camera with precision of 2 nm, but faster and more precise methods are possible. Koch (now at the University of New Mexico, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) says that the most likely applications of the new sensor will be in measuring forces on the kind of magnetic microspheres used in single-biomolecule experiments and to calibrate the electromagnets used in deploying microspheres in doing things such as stretch, twist, or unzip DNA. He also envisions direct mechanical force measurements, combined with other MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) implements, in biophysical experiments where optical tweezers (using laser beams to manipulate the microspheres attached to molecules) cannot be used. The Sandia sensor could be adapted to apply an adjustable tension to single DNA molecules in order to study protein binding or enzymatic processes. (Koch, Thayer, Corwin, de Boer., Applied Physics Letters, 23 Oct 2006) NEW CRANKED-UP NUCLEAR STATES. Some nuclear physicists seek to make new elements by fusing two nuclei and hope the amalgamated body will hold together at least for a while. Other researchers explore the nuclear world by creating new spin states. A highly spinning nucleus is not excited in the usual sense of possessing a lot of internal energy, but allows nevertheless the nucleus constituent protons and neutrons to deploy themselves in new ways. This high-spin universe is reached in off-center smashups of two nuclei. In new experimental work at the Lawrence Berkeley lab in California, erbium-158 nuclei were spun up to very high rates and then closely observed as they slowed down by offloading high energy photons. These gamma rays, each carrying off two units of angular momentum (each unit equals 2 times pi times Planck's constant), are observed in the Gammasphere detector surrounding the collision site; the number of the gamma rays provides information about nuclear spin. So, for example, a nucleus spun up to a level of 40 units would, by relaxing back to normal, throw off about 20 gammas; other forms of nuclear radioactive relaxation---throwing out electrons or alpha particles---take too long to come about. Theorists believe that above a spin value of about 46, the entire Er-158 nucleus cannot be spun up any further without a drastic rearrangement of the entire state of the nucleus. Instead a spherical core of nuclear particles (constituting a gadolinium-146 nucleus) rotates no more while a fleet of 12 valence particles (neutrons and protons) orbits the core at ever higher spin values (see this progression of spin states in the figure at http://www.aip.org/png/2006/274.htm). Eddie Paul of the University of Liverpool ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and his colleagues have been able to discover new pathways to a higher spin regime by observing the pattern of gamma rays thrown out. They find evidence that the core observed in previous experiments can occasionally break up a bit, allowing collective rotation of all the nucleons to resume, permitting the total spin of the nucleus to attain higher values. The highest value observed in this way was a state with 65 units of spin. The researchers hope to explore even higher values of spin, maybe so high that the nucleus

Giant ice island breaks off Arctic shelf (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2006 20:34:33 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Giant ice island breaks off Arctic shelf Giant ice island breaks off Arctic shelf Staff and agencies Friday December 29, 2006 http://environment.guardian.co.uk/print/0,,329672605-121568,00.html An ice island the size of a small city is adrift in the Arctic after breaking free from one of Canada's largest ice shelves, scientists said today. The ice island is 37 metres (120ft) thick and measures 9 miles by 3 miles, according to the CanWest News Service. It broke clear from Ellesmere island, about 500 miles south of the North Pole, 16 months ago, triggering tremors so powerful they were picked up by earthquake monitors 155 miles away. Scientists have only just released details about the island after piecing together the break-up from seismic monitors and satellite images. Within days of breaking free from its fjord on Ellesmere, the floating ice island had drifted a few miles offshore. It travelled west for 31 miles until it froze into the sea ice in early winter. The island was part of the Ayles ice shelf, one of six major ice shelves in Canada's Arctic. Scientists believe the shelf's break-up - the largest of its kind in the Canadian Artic in 30 years - is the result of global warming. The Artic expert Warwick Vincent, of Laval University in Quebec, said he had never seen such a dramatic loss of sea ice and suggested the break-up indicated that climate change was accelerating. Dr Vincent, who has travelled to the ice island, said yesterday: This is a dramatic and disturbing event. It shows that we are losing remarkable features of the Canadian North that have been in place for many thousands of years. We are crossing climate thresholds, and these may signal the onset of accelerated change ahead. We think this incident is consistent with global climate change. We aren't able to connect all of the dots ... but unusually warm temperatures definitely played a major role. He said Canada's remaining ice shelves were 90% smaller than when they were first discovered 100 years ago. The huge ice island could pose a hazard to shipping and the oil and gas industry if it drifts further south into the Beaufort sea in the spring thaw. Laurie Weir, who monitors ice conditions for the Canadian Ice Service, said: Over the next few years this ice island could drift into populated shipping routes. There's significant oil and gas development in this region as well, so we'll have to keep monitoring its location over the next few years. Ms Weir was poring over satellite images in 2005 when she noticed that the shelf had split and separated. She notified Luke Copland, head of the new global ice laboratory at the University of Ottawa, who initiated an effort to find out what happened. Using US and Canadian satellite images, as well as data from seismic monitors, Professor Copland discovered that the ice shelf collapsed on the afternoon of August 13 2005. What surprised us was how quickly it happened, he said. It's pretty alarming. Even 10 years ago scientists assumed that when global warming changes occur that it would happen gradually so that perhaps we expected these ice shelves just to melt away quite slowly, but the big surprise is that, for one they are going, but secondly, that when they do go, they just go suddenly, it's all at once, in a span of an hour.
