UK researchers aim to create black holes in the lab
Physicists in the UK are planning pioneering experiments to create tiny, artificial black holes in the laboratory which will be able to suck in light or sound waves. The researchers hope that the desk-top black holes will provide important information about the fundamental behaviour of matter and energy and help to resolve some of the apparent... view more...

Green light for fusion energy with PetaWatt lasers
The production of fusion energy with a PetaWatt laser is a step closer now that a team of scientists from Japan and the UK has demonstrated that the physics works. Using the GEKKO XII laser system at the Osaka University in Japan, the team has successfully conducted experiments at laser powers equivalent to those required for a full-scale ignition... view more...

First Bose-Einstein condensation of strontium
In an international first, scientists from the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) produced a Bose-Einstein condensate of the alkaline-earth element strontium, thus narrowly winning an international competition between many first-rate scientific groups view more (2009-11-10)
Laser Therapy Offers Hope For Acne Sufferers (pp 1342, 1347)
UK research in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that single-dose laser therapy could dramatically reduce inflammatory facial acne for up to 3 months. Effective new treatments are required for people with acne; this common skin disease can be associated with social isolation, employment difficulties, and occasionally suicide. At present... view more... (2003-10-22)
Photon-transistors for the supercomputers of the future
Scientist from the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen and from Harvard University have worked out a new theory which describe how the necessary transistors for the quantum computers of the future may be created. The research has just been published in the scientific journal Nature Physics. view more (2007-08-27)
Nanoparticles + light = dead tumor cells
Medical physicists at the University of Virginia have created a novel way to kill tumor cells using nanoparticles and light. view more (2008-07-30)
New insights into how lasers cut flesh
Lasers are at the cutting edge of surgery. From cosmetic to brain surgery, intense beams of coherent light are gradually replacing the steel scalpel for many procedures. view more (2007-10-26)
Penn State Researchers Look Beyond the Birth of the Universe
According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, the Big Bang represents The Beginning, the grand event at which not only matter but space-time itself was born. view more (2006-05-15)
EUROCORES conference gives cold quantum matter a European twist
Quantum matter has long fascinated the science community as many completely new physical phenomena have emerged from this field. Cold quantum matter can be used for applications such as high-precision clocks, which may run only one second behind per three million years! view more (2008-05-06)
MR-Guided Laser Effective in Treating Liver Tumors
A large-scale, 12-year study has found that laser ablation with magnetic resonance (MR) guidance is as effective as traditional surgery in the treatment of liver tumors in some patients. view more (2005-11-30)
NIST atom interferometry displays new quantum tricks
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a novel way of making atoms interfere with each other, recreating a famous experiment originally done with light while also making the atoms do things that light just won't do. view more (2007-05-29)
New ion trap may lead to large quantum computers
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have designed and built a novel electromagnetic trap for ions that could be easily mass produced to potentially make quantum computers large enough for practical use. view more (2006-07-07)
New sensor detects gaseous chemical weapon surrogates in 45 seconds
Using lasers and tuning forks, researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a chemical weapon agent sensing technique that promises to meet or exceed current and emerging defense and homeland security chemical detection requirements. view more (2007-03-21)
New system for detection of single atoms
Scientists have devised a new technique for real-time detection of freely moving individual neutral atoms that is more than 99.7% accurate and sensitive enough to discern the arrival of a single atom in less than one-millionth of a second, about 20 times faster than the best previous methods. view more (2009-05-18)
Artificial atoms make microwave photons countable
Using artificial atoms on a chip, Yale physicists have taken the next step toward quantum computing by demonstrating that the particle nature of microwave photons can now be detected, according to a report spotlighted in the February 1 issue of the journal Nature. view more (2007-02-02)
Breakthrough in computer chip design eliminates wires in data transmission
Research slated to appear in the October 2 edition of the Optical Society of America's (OSA) Optics Express will unveil that researchers have created a new laser-silicon hybrid computer chip that can produce laser beams that will make it possible to use laser light rather than wires to send data between chips, removing the most significant... view more...

'Strained' quantum dots show new optical properties
Quantum dots, tiny luminescent particles made of semiconductors, hold promise for detecting and treating cancer earlier. However, if doctors were to use them in humans, quantum dots could have limitations related to their size and possible toxicity. view more (2008-12-08)
Shaping the future of map generalisation in Europe
The future of automated map generalisation is looking bright following a workshop in the UK involving some of Europe’s major mapping agencies. Delegates from Germany, Spain, Belgium, France, Denmark, the Netherlands and the UK gathered at Laser-Scan’s headquarters in Cambridge to discuss their future aims and requirements. Although... view more... (2002-05-22)
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)
