ESA takes steps toward quantum communications
A team of European scientists has proved within an ESA study that the weird quantum effect called 'entanglement' remains intact over a distance of 144 kilometres.   view more (2007-06-13)

Using 'minutiae' to match fingerprints can be accurate
A study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows that computerized systems that match fingerprints using interoperable minutiae templates-mathematical representations of a fingerprint image-can be highly accurate as an alternative to the full fingerprint image.   view more (2006-03-21)

Speedy diagnosis at the doctor's office
Biochemical reactions can be monitored with the help of biosensors, allowing rapid analysis of blood counts or identification of toxins in water or foodstuffs. The biosensors employ selective biochemical reactions, based on the so-called lock-and-key principle to detect specific. In the case of an... view more (1999-07-01)

ESA's XMM-Newton gains deep insights into the distant Universe
Using XMM-Newton, astronomers have obtained the world's deepest 'wide screen' X-ray image of the cosmos to date. Their observations show newly discovered clusters of galaxies and provide insights into the structure of the distant Universe"¦ Unlike grains of sand on a beach, matter is not... view more (2003-07-14)

New magnets with 99% air content
Researchers from the Physics Department at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the Institut de Cie'nca de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), and the Universidad de Zaragoza have created a new ultra-light transparent magnetic material. Thanks to its properties, the new material... view more (2003-11-25)

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)

Sound Filters Light
Russian researchers have developed a small, smart and tolerant to vibrations spectrometer, which is equally reliable in the outer space and in oceanic depths. The development was performed with financial support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) and the Foundation for Assistance... view more (2004-11-01)

Cloudy day won't rain on laser communications
Just as clouds block the sun, they interfere with laser communications systems, but Penn State researchers are using a combination of computational methods to find the silver lining and punch through the clouds.   view more (2006-11-13)

Candy-coating keeps proteins sweet
Sugar-frosting isn't just for livening up boring bran flakes; it can also preserve important therapeutic proteins. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a fast, inexpensive and effective method for evaluating the sugars pharmaceutical companies use... view more (2008-08-20)

Code for unbreakable quantum encryption generated at record speed over fiber
Raw code for 'unbreakable' encryption, based on the principles of quantum physics, has been generated at record speed over optical fiber at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).   view more (2006-04-19)
