NC State Develops Material That Could Boost Data Storage, Save Energy
North Carolina State University engineers have created a new material that would allow a fingernail-size computer chip to store the equivalent of 20 high-definition DVDs or 250 million pages of text, far exceeding the storage capacities of today's computer memory systems. view more (2009-10-21)
Scientists Discover Magnetic Superatoms
A team of Virginia Commonwealth University scientists has discovered a 'magnetic superatom' - a stable cluster of atoms that can mimic different elements of the periodic table - that one day may be used to create molecular electronic devices for the next generation of faster computers with larger memory storage. view more (2009-06-16)
Catching the wave — Researchers measure very short laser pulses
Scientists have perfected a technique for very accurately measuring and controlling the electromagnetic waves within some of the shortest laser pulses ever made, says new research published today. view more (2006-12-04)
Cross-dressing rubidium may reveal clues for exotic computing
Neutral atoms-having no net electric charge-usually don't act very dramatically around a magnetic field. But by "dressing them up" with light, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), a collaborative venture of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland at College Park, have caused... view more...

Superconductivity can induce magnetism
When an electrical current passes through a wire it emanates heat - a principle that's found in toasters and incandescent light bulbs. view more (2008-09-12)
Los Alamos Scientists See New Mechanism for Superconductivity
Laboratory researchers have posited an explanation for superconductivity that may open the door to the discovery of new, unconventional forms of superconductivity. view more (2008-11-24)
NJIT researchers develop inexpensive, easy process to produce solar panels
Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have developed an inexpensive solar cell that can be painted or printed on flexible plastic sheets. view more (2007-07-19)
Weizmann Institute Scientists Find New 'Quasiparticles'
Weizmann Institute physicists have demonstrated, for the first time, the existence of 'quasiparticles' with one quarter the charge of an electron. This finding could be a first step toward creating exotic types of quantum computers that might be powerful, yet highly stable. view more (2008-06-03)
Rutgers physicists discover novel electronic properties in two-dimensional carbon structure
Rutgers researchers have discovered novel electronic properties in two-dimensional sheets of carbon atoms called graphene that could one day be the heart of speedy and powerful electronic devices. view more (2009-10-15)
Keep On Spinning
By controlling the collective spin state of highly mobile electrons in semiconductors, researchers in the Materials Sciences Division (MSD) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have taken a major step forward in the technology of spintronics. view more (2009-04-02)
NASA's Fermi Explores High-energy
Since its launch last June, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered a new class of pulsars, probed gamma-ray bursts and watched flaring jets in galaxies billions of light-years away. view more (2009-05-05)
New Exotic Material Could Revolutionize Electronics
Move over, silicon-it may be time to give the Valley a new name. Physicists at the Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have confirmed the existence of a type of material that could one day provide dramatically faster, more efficient computer chips. view more (2009-06-16)
Study explains unexpected conductivity of nanoscale silicon
When graduate student Pengpeng Zhang successfully imaged a piece of silicon just 10 nanometers-or a millionth of a centimeter-in thickness, she and her University of Wisconsin-Madison co-researchers were puzzled. view more (2006-02-09)
'Electronic gridlock' that blocks higher temperature cuprate superconductors is imaged by Cornell researchers
Superconductivity — the conduction of electricity with zero resistance — sometimes can, it seems, become stalled by a form of electronic "gridlock." view more (2007-03-06)
Cluster - new insights into the electric circuits of polar lights
Giant electrical circuits power the magical open-air light show of the auroras, forming arcs in high-latitude regions like Scandinavia. New results obtained thanks to ESA's Cluster satellites provide a new insight into the source of the difference between the two types of electrical circuits currently known to be associated to the auroral arcs. view more (2007-02-12)
McGill physicists find a new state of matter in a 'transistor'
McGill University researchers have discovered a new state of matter, a quasi-three- dimensional electron crystal, in a material very much like those used in the fabrication of modern transistors. view more (2008-10-22)
World`s most powerful laser used as atom smasher - The Physics Congress 2002
Physicists at Glasgow University are using the world`s most powerful laser beam as an atom smasher to simulate conditions inside the Sun and to produce radioisotopes vital in medicine. Professor Ken Ledingham from the Department of Physics at Glasgow and his colleagues from Imperial College and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) are using... view more... (2002-03-26)
Physicist's innovative technique makes atomic-level microscopy at least 100 times faster
Using an existing technique in a novel way, Cornell physicist Keith Schwab and colleagues at Cornell and Boston University have made the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) -- which can image individual atoms on a surface -- at least 100 times faster. view more (2007-11-09)
Unlocking the secret of the Kondo Effect
A team of scientists including researchers from the London Centre for Nanotechnology at UCL (University College London) and the IBM Almaden Research Center has forged a breakthrough in understanding an intriguing phenomenon in fundamental physics: the Kondo effect. The findings are reported online today in the scientific journal Nature Physics. view more (2008-09-22)
