World Year of Physics: A direct test of E=mc^2

One of the most striking predictions of Einstein's special theory of relativity is also perhaps the best known formula in all of science: E=mc^2. If this equation were found to be even slightly incorrect, the impact would be enormous — given the degree to which special relativity is woven into the theoretical fabric of modern physics and into everyday applications such as global positioning systems. Here we test this mass–energy relationship directly by combining very accurate measurements of atomic-mass difference,  Δm, and of γ -ray wavelengths to determine E, the nuclear binding energy, for isotopes of silicon and sulphur. Einstein's relationship is separately confirmed in two tests, which yield a combined result of 1- Δmc^2/E=(-1.4 +-4.4)* 10^-7, indicating that it holds to a level of at least 0.00004%. To our knowledge, this is the most precise direct test of the famous equation yet described.

爱因斯坦相对论最醒目的预言之一也许是在所有的科学中最好的已知公式: E=mc^2。 如果这个等式被发现有细微的不正确, 都会带来巨大的冲击- 相对论如此的特别以至于他已经完全融入了现代物理和每天的具体应用之中 例如  全球的定位系统。这里我们通过综合性的直接非常精确的测量原子-质量的不同测试这个质-能关系  , Δ m ,和γ- 射线波长决定 E ,它是硅和硫的同位素原子的结合能 。 爱因斯坦的关系在二个测试中被分别的确定, 生产的结合量的结果是 1 -Δ mc^2/E =(-1.4+-4.4)*10^-7, 表明它在这个水平上误差少于 0.00004%. 根据我们所知,这仍然是最精确的著名的等式的直接测试描述。

Impact origin of sediments at the Opportunity landing site

火星上沉积物另外的一种解释
Impact origin of sediments at the Opportunity landing site on Mars
L. Paul Knauth(1), Donald M. Burt(1) and Kenneth H. Wohletz(2)

Abstract
Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity discovered sediments with layered structures thought to be unique to aqueous deposition and with minerals attributed to evaporation of an acidic salty sea. Remarkable iron-rich spherules were ascribed to later groundwater alteration, and the inferred abundance of water reinforced optimism that Mars was once habitable. The layered structures, however, are not unique to water deposition, and the scenario encounters difficulties in accounting for highly soluble salts admixed with less soluble salts, the lack of clay minerals from acid–rock reactions, high sphericity and near-uniform sizes of the spherules and the absence of a basin boundary. Here we present a simple alternative explanation involving deposition from a ground-hugging turbulent flow of rock fragments, salts, sulphides, brines and ice produced by meteorite impact. Subsequent weathering by intergranular water films can account for all of the features observed without invoking shallow seas, lakes or near-surface aquifers. Layered sequences observed elsewhere on heavily cratered Mars and attributed to wind, water or volcanism may well have formed similarly. If so, the search for past life on Mars should be reassessed accordingly.

Light echoes from ancient supernovae in the Large Magellanic

麦哲伦星云里的超新星研究
Light echoes from ancient supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Armin Rest(1), Nicholas B. Suntzeff(1), Knut Olsen(1), Jose Luis Prieto(2), R. Chris Smith(1), Douglas L. Welch(3), Andrew Becker(4), Marcel Bergmann(5), Alejandro Clocchiatti(6), Kem Cook(7), Arti Garg(8), Mark Huber(7), Gajus Miknaitis(4), Dante Minniti(6), Sergei Nikolaev(7) and Christopher Stubbs(8)

The light from historical supernovae could in principle still be visible as scattered-light echoes centuries after the explosion(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The detection of light echoes could allow us to pinpoint the supernova event both in position and age and, most importantly, permit the acquisition of spectra to determine the 'type' of the supernova centuries after the direct light from the explosion first reached Earth. Although echoes have been discovered around some nearby extragalactic supernovae(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13), targeted searches have not found any echoes in the regions of historical Galactic supernovae(14, 15, 16). Here we report three faint variable-surface-brightness complexes with high apparent proper motions pointing back to three of the six smallest (and probably youngest) previously catalogued supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which are believed to have been thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae(17). Using the distance and apparent proper motions of these echo arcs, we estimate ages of 610 and 410 years for two of them.
