Physicists offer new theory for iron compounds
An international team of physicists from the United States and China this week offered a new theory to both explain and predict the complex quantum behavior of a new class of high-temperature superconductors.   view more (2009-03-13)

Hidden order found in a quantum spin liquid
An international team, including scientists from the London Center for Nanotechnology, has detected a hidden magnetic "quantum order" that extends over chains of 100 atoms in a ceramic without classical magnetism. The findings, which are published today, July 26, by Science, have implications for the design of devices and materials for... view more... (2007-07-27)

Laser treatment restores art
FIRING laser beams at priceless paintings might seem the height of folly, putting the painting`s delicate pigments at risk. So while conservators have for decades used ultraviolet lasers to clean up grubby sculptures, they have always fought shy of using them on soiled paintings. But now a study has shown you can fire away with impunity. Lasers... view more... (2002-09-25)

K-State's fast laser research and theory building on Einsten's work by timing electrons emissions
Ultrafast laser research at Kansas State University has allowed physicists to build on Nobel Prize-winning work in photo-electronics by none other than Albert Einstein.   view more (2009-05-22)

NIST physicists boost 'entanglement' of atom pairs
Physicists at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have taken a significant step toward transforming entanglement-an atomic-scale phenomenon described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance"-into a practical tool.   view more (2006-10-19)

NIST announces first observation of 'persistent flow' in a gas
Using laser light to stir an ultracold gas of atoms, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Joint Quantum Institute (NIST/University of Maryland) have demonstrated the first "persistent" current in an ultracold atomic gas -a frictionless flow of particles.   view more (2007-11-28)

Laser-optical mine detection needle will facilitate mine clearing
The "laser-optical mine detection needle" is intended to facilitate the removal of land mines for humanitarian reasons. The working group of Professor Dr. Wolfgang Schade at the Institute of Physics und Physical Technologies at the Technical University of Clausthal intends to exhibit a "laser-optical mine detection needle" at... view more...

Tiny holes offer surprising insights
Researchers from Berlin and Seoul store light in plasmonic crystals   view more (2005-03-04)

Portable and precise gas sensor could monitor pollution and detect disease
In the air, it is a serious pollutant. In the body, it plays a role in heart rate, blood flow, nerve signals and immune function.   view more (2009-09-21)

Gold nanoparticles prove to be hot stuff
Gold nanoparticles are highly efficient and sensitive "handles" for biological molecules being manipulated and tracked by lasers, but they also can heat up fast-by tens of degrees in just a few nanoseconds-which could either damage the molecules or help study them.   view more (2006-09-01)

Future 'quantum computers' will offer increased efficiency... and risks
An unusual observation in a University of Central Florida physics lab may lead to a new generation of "Quantum Computers" that will render today's computer and credit card encryption technology obsolete.   view more (2008-03-06)

Connect the Quantum Dots
By using the unique photophysical properties of quantum dots, researchers Drs. Francisco Raymo, Ibrahim Yildiz, and Massimilliano Tomasulo were able to identify operating principles to probe molecular recognition events with luminescence measurements.   view more (2006-07-19)

Lasers Generate Underwater Sound
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory are developing a new technology for use in underwater acoustics. The new technology uses flashes of laser light to remotely create underwater sound.   view more (2009-09-08)

Nose straightened by laser
A unique methodology that allows to control the form of cartilage tissues in the human organism has been developed by researchers of the Moscow Institute of Laser and Information Technologies Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences. A new methodology is based on strictly controllable heating of cartilages - for example, those of crooked nasal septum... view more... (2003-11-28)

Exploring the standard model of physics without the high-energy collider
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US, have performed sophisticated laser measurements to detect the subtle effects of one of nature's most elusive forces - the "weak interaction".   view more (2009-08-11)

New laser technique may help find supernova
One single atom of a certain isotope of hafnium found on Earth would prove that a supernova once exploded near our solar system.   view more (2009-08-12)

Another world first for Artemis: a laser link with an aircraft
Artemis, the European Space Agency Advanced Relay and Technology Mission Satellite, successfully relayed optical laser links from an aircraft in early December. These airborne laser links, established over a distance of 40 000 km during two flights at altitudes of 6000 and 10 000 metres, represent a world first.   view more (2006-12-19)

U-M physicists create first atomic-scale map of quantum dots
University of Michigan physicists have created the first atomic-scale maps of quantum dots, a major step toward the goal of producing "designer dots" that can be tailored for specific applications.   view more (2009-09-30)

Quicker, faster, better calibration and machine calibration in the workplace from NPL
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is launching a revolutionary new measurement system that will bring laboratory level standards to the shop floor. The technology enables significantly improved calibration times and thereby, minimises machine downtime for industries across the manufacturing sector.   view more (2008-04-15)
