NIST defining the expanding world of cloud computing
A working definition for cloud computing-a new computer technique with potential for achieving significant cost savings and information technology agility-has been released by a team of computer security experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2009-05-22)
Physicists Entangle Photon and Atom in Atomic Cloud
uantum communication networks show great promise in becoming a highly secure communications system. By carrying information with photons or atoms, which are entangled so that the behavior of one affects the other, the network can easily detect any eavesdropper who tries to tap the system. view more (2005-07-27)
Physicists demonstrate storage and retrieval of single photons between remote memories
A series of publications in the journal Nature highlights the race among competing research groups toward the long-anticipated goal of quantum networking. view more (2005-12-08)
NASA's Infrared Satellite Sees Warmer Cloud Tops in Tropical Storm Marty
Marty is struggling to hold onto tropical storm status, and things are just going to get worse for him, as he moves into an area with stronger wind shear. Infrared satellite imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite showed that Marty's thunderstorm cloud tops are not as cold as they were earlier today, September 17, and his cloud pattern has become a... view more...

Structure of enzyme against chemical warfare agents determined
The enzyme DFPase from the squid Loligo vulgaris, is able to rapidly and efficiently detoxify chemical warfare agents such as Sarin, which was used in the Tokyo subway attacks in 1995. view more (2009-01-29)
Atom 'noise' may help design quantum computers
As if building a computer out of rubidium atoms and laser beams weren't difficult enough, scientists sometimes have to work as if blindfolded: The quirks of quantum physics can cause correlations between the atoms to fade from view at crucial times. view more (2007-03-05)
New JILA technique reveals hidden properties of ultracold atomic gases
Physicists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder, have demonstrated a powerful new technique that reveals hidden properties of ultracold atomic gases. view more (2008-08-07)
Climate change -- research suggests it is not a swindle
New research has dealt a blow to the skeptics who argue that climate change is all due to cosmic rays rather than to man-made greenhouse gases. The new evidence shows no reliable connection between the cosmic ray intensity and cloud cover. view more (2008-04-03)
A cloud-free Europe captured by MSG-1
As most Europeans breathe a sigh of relief as this record-breaking summer draws to a close, the extreme weather conditions experienced in recent weeks have given us a rare view of an almost cloud-free Europe, taken by Europe's weather satellite MSG-1, launched a year ago this week. This enhanced composite image was taken on 10 August 2003, at... view more... (2003-08-26)
Secrets of a Dark Cloud
SOFI (Son OF ISAAC) is a scaled-down copy of ISAAC, the major VLT instrument that has already produced spectacular observations. SOFI is a unique instrument for the study of extended objects like "Barnard 68 (B68)" because of its very sensitive infrared detector and unrivalled large field-of-view. view more (1999-07-02)
ISO satellite investigates dust discs around stars
investigate the dust discs around normal stars. Those few stars which are surrounded by clouds of dust (our own Sun is surrounded by a dust cloud) would form a list of stars which might have orbiting planets - some of which may support life. These stars would be among the first to be investigated by future space missions searching for signs of... view more... (1996-10-31)
Optical Atomic Clock: A long look at the captured atoms
Optical clocks might become the atomic clocks of the future. Their "pendulum", i.e. the regular oscillation process which each clock needs, is an oscillation in the range of the visible light. view more (2008-02-06)
Clear view of the clouds will bring better weather forecasts
Accurately forecasting rain will be easier thanks to new insights into clouds from a study led by the University of Leeds and UCL (University College London). view more (2005-08-11)
NIST atomic fountain clock gets much better with time
The world's best clock, NIST-F1, has been improved over the past few years and now measures time and frequency more than twice as accurately as it did in 1999 when first used as a national standard, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report. view more (2005-09-26)
REDUCED LONGEVITY OF ATOMIC-BOMB SURVIVORS (p 303)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET does not support claims that atomic-bomb survivors exposed to certain doses of radiation live longer than comparable unexposed individuals. There have been conflicting claims regarding the biological and health consequences of exposure to low doses of radiation, with reports that some atomic-bomb... view more... (2000-07-19)
Beating the radar: Getting a jump on storm prediction
Satellite observation of cloud temperatures may be able to accurately predict severe thunderstorms up to 45 minutes earlier than relying on traditional radar alone. view more (2009-06-18)
Nanostructures can pose big measurement problems
Materials scientists will tell you that to best understand, characterize and eventually utilize the properties of a specific material, you have to be able to define how the atoms within it are arranged. view more (2007-04-30)
Rain showers may be caused by vortices in the air
The Delft researchers calculated how hundreds of thousands of water droplets contained in about one litre of cloud move and grow. During this process, it would seem that tubular-shaped vortices a few centimetres in size are formed and that these force the droplets outwards by centrifugal force, so that they congregate at the edge. For rain to be... view more... (1999-11-09)
Cloud radar -- predicting the weather more accurately
The weather. It's the one topic of conversation that unites Britain - umbrella or sun cream? Now scientists at the Science and Technology Facilities Council have developed a system that measures the individual layers of cloud above us which will make answering the all-important weather questions much easier in future. view more (2008-09-25)
Experimental atomic clock uses ytterbium 'pancakes'
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) working with Russian colleagues have significantly improved the design of optical atomic clocks that hold thousands of atoms in a lattice made of intersecting laser beams. view more (2006-03-07)
