The traditional picture of how liquid water behaves on a molecular level is wrong, according to new experimental evidence collected by a collaboration of researchers from DOE's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), the RIKEN SPring-8 synchrotron and Hiroshima University in Japan and Stockholm University in Sweden.

Scientists know many reasons why the current theory of fundamental particles is incomplete: the observation of dark matter across the universe; the dominance of matter over antimatter; and the non-zero mass of neutrinos are just a few.

A pair of researchers at DOE's Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a mathematical tool that could help health experts and crisis managers determine in real time whether an emerging infectious disease such as avian influenza H5N1 is poised to spread globally. In a paper published recently in the Public Library of Science, researchers Luís Bettencourt and Ruy Ribeiro of Los Alamos’ Theoretical Division describe a novel approach to reading subtle changes in epidemiological data to gain insight into whether something like the H5N1 strain of avian influenza—commonly known these days as the “Bird Flu”—has gained the ability to touch off a deadly global pandemic. “What we wanted to create was a mathematically rigorous way to account for changes in transmissibility,” said Bettencourt.
