0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21. . . Fibonacci Sequence to Appear on Nanoscience Building

A famous mathematical pattern has inspired the stunning curved sail façade of Bristol University’s new £11 million Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information. The façade, which was completed this week, features cladding based on the Fibonacci sequence. It is isolated from the rest of the building to prevent vibration from the wind travelling across it, affecting experiments taking place inside the Centre.

Italian Researcher Finds New Particle Accelerator Technique

A researcher at INFN's laboratories in Frascati, Pantaleo Raimondi, has developed a technique that allows to exceed some of the limits of existing particle accelerators. The first tests, carried out at the laboratories in Frascati, have provided very positive results and are being followed with great interest throughout the world. This technique could lead to a new generation of much more efficient accelerators for studying the infinitely small.
