Worlds apart
Article Abstract:
Advances in technology have led to the discovery of more than 100 new extra-solar planets. Study of their orbits, however seems to disprove the theory of core-accretion formation of planets. Scientists await new data from an array that will start transmission in 2007 to further understand how planets are formed.

Neutrino probes of dark energy
Article Abstract:
The study proposed that innocuous subatomic particles, neutrinos, might offer a nongravitational means of probing the nature of dark energy as the rate of expansion of the Universe is accelerating. The accelerating expansion is due to the fact that gravity itself is modified at cosmologically large distances.

On the trail of the neutrino
Article Abstract:
The increasing research focus on neutrinos could help solve major issues in physics, including the neutrino mass and neutrino flavour-switching. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Ontario is a major new facility.
