The dissipation regime is observed in magnetometer data as a steepening of the magnetic power spectral slope and a mild but sometimes very apparent systematic magnetic helicity in the range above the cyclotron scale.
Using the cyclotron fluid formalism developed a few years ago, we have been studying the coupling (very different from others' research -- this coupling is paramount for such experiments!) between low-collisional microscales and the fluid scales of the solar wind.
Our model uses cyclotron equations of state for the pressures as well as transport coefficients representing wave-particle momentum transfers.
Bottom line -- cyclotrons rock!

Did you read his Radium story? Interesting stuff. Makes me want to go out and buy (or build) a geiger counter and start rock hunting. Trouble is how do you tell the difference between Radium and Uranium, let alone between the different isotopes? Also, anyone know where I can get a lead suit, hood, face mask, gloves, and boots? I'd like to experiment with building nuclear batteries (inspired by the recent slashdot story), but you need a license to legally buy those "safe" beta sources, so I'm going to have to play with some nice gamma ray emitters like uranium. Also, did you notice how ugly is wife was at their wedding? No wonder he's got such an impressive resume. He's always at work so he doesn't have to go home. Or was that his mother?

It's nice to see that there are events for teaching science to young adults all around the world...
North America - Create your own Cyclotron etc. Europe - Championships for creating innovations. Asia - Creating gadgets events. Australia - Solar car championships. South America - Innovation centres for young people. Africa - Create alternative cooling innovations. Middle East - Create innovative ways of killing the infidels.
