Magnets in a spin bath
Is quantum mechanics relevant to everyday life? Latest scientific evidence suggests that it is. A paper published in Science based on research from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland and others, reports how quantum computers behave as if they are isolated devices. The extent to which they do this can be regulated by the environment... view more... (2005-04-15)
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara make discovery in quantum mechanics
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have made an important advance in quantum mechanics using a superconducting electrical circuit. The finding is reported in this week's issue of the journal Nature. view more (2009-09-24)
Quantum paradox directly observed -- a milestone in quantum mechanics
In quantum mechanics, a vanguard of physics where science often merges into philosophy, much of our understanding is based on conjecture and probabilities, but a group of researchers in Japan has moved one of the fundamental paradoxes in quantum mechanics into the lab for experimentation and observed some of the 'spooky action of quantum... view more...

Rutgers researchers 'rewrite the book' in quantum statistical physics
An important part of the decades-old assumption thought to be essential for quantum statistical physics is being challenged by researchers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and colleagues in Germany and Italy. view more (2006-02-10)
Special topics in environmental mechanics
With rapid development of economics since the 1980s, people have been increasingly realized that the environment plays an important role in the sustainable development of society and economy. view more (2008-07-01)
Experiments at UCSB push quantum mechanics to higher levels
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have devised a new type of superconducting circuit that behaves quantum mechanically -- but has up to five levels of energy instead of the usual two. The findings are published in the August 7 issue of Science. view more (2009-08-12)
With BYU partner, FSU's Magnet Lab researchers deciphering flu virus
As the Northern Hemisphere braces for another flu season, researchers at Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory are making strides toward better understanding the mechanics of the virus that causes it - a virus that kills between one-quarter and one-half million people each year. view more (2006-11-10)
Q is for quantum and 'Q-life'
As the world celebrates Charles Darwin, who was born 200 years ago, physicists can be forgiven a certain jealousy at the spotlight being placed on his profound legacy. view more (2009-07-08)
Building a better qubit
Exploiting quantum mechanics for transmitting information is a tantalizing possibility because it promises secure, high speed communications. view more (2009-10-06)
Complicating in order to simplify
In a paper that will be published March 1 in the proceedings of the Royal Society, two engineers at the Viterbi School of Engineering offer a new and potentially much more flexible method of mathematically describing mechanical systems. view more (2006-03-02)
Imaging quantum entanglement
An international team including scientists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) today publishes findings in the journal 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' (PNAS) demonstrating the dramatic effects of quantum mechanics in a simple magnet. view more (2007-09-24)
Quantum biology — Powerful computer models reveal key biological mechanism
Using powerful computers to model the intricate dance of atoms and molecules, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have revealed the mechanism behind an important biological reaction. view more (2007-01-17)
New research paper by physicist at University of Georgia may lead to reassessment of some foundations of statistical mechanics
There are probably more molecules in your den than there are stars in the universe. When studying numbers so vast, researchers had to find a way to make large-scale predictions based on the study of microscopic properties. That field of inquiry is called statistical mechanics, and it is an important tool in explaining how the world works. view more (2007-03-14)
MIT researcher sees big impact of little cracks
An MIT researcher's atom-by-atom simulation of cracks forming and spreading may help explain how materials fail in nanoscale devices, airplanes and even in the Earth itself during a quake. view more (2006-01-19)
UCSB researchers make milestone discovery in quantum mechanics
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have recently reached what they are calling a milestone in experimental quantum mechanics. view more (2008-08-06)
Researchers unite to distribute quantum keys
Researchers from across Europe have united to build the largest quantum key distribution network ever built. view more (2009-07-02)
Twanging rat whiskers yields insight into sensing machinery
High-speed video of rats using their whiskers to explore different surfaces has given researchers significant insights into the subtle mechanics of their tactile sensory system. view more (2008-02-28)
New device from CU physicist tests uncertainty principle to unprecedented level — and shows that looks can cool
In the submicroscopic world - the domain of elementary particles and individual atoms - things behave in the strange, counter-intuitive fashion governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. view more (2006-09-25)
Training mechanics online
Internet-based distance learning courses and assessment tests have thousands of devotees in the UK and elsewhere. E-learning is perfect for students of previously 'paper-based' disciplines such as modern languages or accountancy. But subjects with a more practical side have proved trickier to stage and assess by remote tutors. The CLEMS project... view more... (2003-08-12)
Computer hackers R.I.P. -- making quantum cryptography practical
Quantum cryptography, a completely secure means of communication, is much closer to being used practically as researchers from Toshiba and Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory have now developed high speed detectors capable of receiving information with much higher key rates, thereby able to receive more information faster. view more (2009-04-30)
