The next step in quantum computing
A team of physicists in the United States has made an important step towards making quantum computing a reality. Research into a new type of noiseless quantum information bit, or qubit, is published today in the joint Institute of Physics and German Physical Society journal, New Journal of Physics. view more (2002-02-12)
New co-chair of atomic scientists calls on US administration to reduce nuclear threat
Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist and cosmologist at Arizona State University, will co-chair the Board of Sponsors of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists with Nobel Laureate Leon Lederman. Together they plan to re-energize a national discussion on the reduction of nuclear weapons stockpiles, and a commitment to fight proliferation and... view more... (2009-01-14)
Bright lights, not-so-big pupils
A team of Johns Hopkins neuroscientists has worked out how some newly discovered light sensors in the eye detect light and communicate with the brain. The report appears online this week in Nature. view more (2009-01-05)
Early to bed, early to rise
In an upcoming G&D paper, a team of German scientists presents a genetic basis for understanding human morning lark behavior. Dr. Achim Kramer (Charité Universitaetsmedizin Berlin) and colleagues have uncovered a genetic cause for the human familial advanced sleep phase syndrome (FASPS), which causes people to both go to sleep and wake up... view more...

Preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission in low-income countries
Can HIV transmission in pregnancy in low income settings be prevented with round the clock rapid testing in labor? view more (2008-05-06)
OU professor teams with German scientists on discovery of rare molecule
A rare "Rydberg" molecule discovered by scientists from the University of Stuttgart and University of Oklahoma upheld scientific theory predicting the molecule existed. view more (2009-05-08)
Physicists pin down spin of surface atoms
Scientists who dream of shrinking computers to the nanoscale look to atomic spin as one possible building block for both processor and memory, yet setting the spin of an atom, let alone measuring it, has been a challenge. view more (2007-09-13)
New JILA apparatus measures fast nanoscale motions
A new nanoscale apparatus developed at JILA—a tiny gold beam whose 40 million vibrations per second are measured by hopping electrons—offers the potential for a 500-fold increase in the speed of scanning tunneling microscopes (STM), perhaps paving the way for scientists to watch atoms vibrate in high definition in real time. view more (2007-03-19)
New 'finFET' promising for smaller transistors, more powerful chips
Purdue University researchers are making progress in developing a new type of transistor that uses a finlike structure instead of the conventional flat design, possibly enabling engineers to create faster and more compact circuits and computer chips. view more (2009-11-11)
Modeling the chemical reactions of nanoparticles
As science enters the world of the very small, researchers will be searching for new ways to study nanoparticles and their properties. view more (2006-03-28)
UC Santa Barbara researchers light up 'dark' spins in diamond
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have potentially opened up a new avenue toward room temperature quantum information processing. By demonstrating the ability to image and control single isolated electron spins in diamond, they unexpectedly discovered a new channel for transferring information to other surrounding spins - an initial step towards... view more...

Galileo: contracts for the first satellites
The contracts for the first Galileo satellites were signed on Friday 11 July at ESTEC, the European Space Agency's research and technology centre. "Galileo is taking shape with every passing day. These first contracts are symbolic of Europe's collective resolve to develop the first civil global satellite navigation system", stated Claudio... view more... (2003-07-11)
"Heftier" Atoms Reduce Friction at the Nanoscale, Study Led By Penn Researcher Reveals
A research team led by a University of Pennsylvania mechanical engineer has discovered that friction between two sliding bodies can be reduced at the molecular, or nanoscale, level by changing the mass of the atoms at the surface. view more (2007-11-02)
A new particle discovered by BaBar experiment
Its name is Y(4260) and it is not a new humanoid of Stars Wars, but a particle identified for the first time by BaBar experiment: an international collaboration-formed by the large participation of the Italian physicists of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (Infn)-that has its seat in Stanford (California). Y(4260) represents an... view more... (2005-07-07)
Tough new probe developed for nanotechnologists
Since the invention of the atomic force microscope (AFM) in 1986 by Nobel laureate Gerd Binnig, the tool has been employed to advance the science of materials in many ways, from nanopatterning (dip-pen nanolithography) to the imaging of surfaces and nano-objects such as carbon nanotubes, DNA, proteins and cells. In all these applications, the... view more... (2005-08-11)
Discovery of 'hidden' quantum order improves prospects for quantum super computers
An international team of scientists, including several at The Johns Hopkins University, has detected a hidden magnetic "quantum order" that extends over chains of nearly 100 atoms in a material that is otherwise magnetically disordered. view more (2007-07-27)
Argonne scientists discover new class of glassy material
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out. view more (2008-07-29)
Rac 1 and 2, two proteins essential to triggering of the immune response
The dendritic cells act as the body's sentries, standing guard around the clock. As soon as they detect a potential enemy, they alert the T cells, whose role is to defend the body. At the Institut Curie, CNRS researchers in an Inserm laboratory have filmed the encounter of dendritic cells and T cells. They have shown that this "rendez-vous",... view more... (2004-08-23)
