Quando la luce diventa liquida

Dettaglio del setup sperimentale del laboratorio di fotonica avanzata nel centro Nanotec-Cnr di Lecce. A destra, progressiva formazione ed estensione della fase ordinata di un condensato di luce. Una ricerca condotta dai ricercatori dell’Istituto di nanotecnologia del Cnr rivela la formazione spontanea di ordine topologico in un sistema fotonico. In pratica, le interazioni sono in grado di 'sintonizzare' spontaneamente i fotoni fra loro, neutralizzando la dissipazione energetica. Il lavoro, pubblicato su Nature Materials, contribuisce all’espansione del moderno campo di ricerca in fluidi quantistici di luce.

K2 and Baltoro cleaned from 8 tonnes of waste

8,000 kilos of waste (paper, plastic, cans, glass and toxic materials) have been carried down from the Baltoro glacier over the past weeks.Over 2,000 kilos have already been burned. These are the first results of the "Keep Baltoro Clean" campaign, organized by the EvK2Cnr Committee and the Pakistan Alpine Club in the framework of Karakorum Trust project. The operation is aimed at cleaning up from waste the Baltoro glacier, the base camps and the higher camps of the expeditions climbing the surrounding mountains.

Commission welcomes Council and Parliament approval of new Spirit Drinks regulation

European Union agriculture ministers today reached political agreement on the new Spirit Drinks regulation, thereby sealing a first reading agreement between the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. The new regulation enhances the clarity of EU legislation on spirit drinks, combines two previous regulations into one and adapts the rules to take account of technical changes, WTO requirements and the EU's system of geographical indications. The new regulation sets out clear definitions for all spirit drinks, and should help producers market their products while providing new clarity for consumers. One of the main points of discussion since the proposal was tabled by the Commission in December 2005 has been the definition of vodka. The new regulation leaves the current definition unchanged, but changes slightly the labelling requirements. In future, vodka made from cereals or potatoes will be labelled simply as vodka. Vodka based on other raw materials will bear the indication "produced from" supplemented by the name of the raw material used. This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
