Plenty of nothing: A hole new quantum spin
Electronic devices are always shrinking in size but it's hard to imagine anything beating what researchers at the University of New South Wales have created: a tiny wire that doesn't even use electrons to carry a current. view more (2006-07-26)
Survey shows that scientists want training in communicating with the general public.
In a survey, commissioned by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, almost 60 per cent of researchers questioned said they have communicated with the general public but the majority had not received any specific training in this area. The findings of the survey coincide with an announcement that EPSRC is to offer researchers that... view more... (2002-03-21)
Quantum hall effect observed at room temperature
Using the highest magnetic fields in the world, an international team of researchers has observed the quantum Hall effect - a much studied phenomenon of the quantum world - at room temperature. view more (2007-02-16)
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)
Researchers putting a freeze on oscillator vibrations
University of Oregon physicists have successfully landed a one-two punch on a tiny glass sphere, refrigerating it in liquid helium and then dosing its perimeter with a laser beam, to bring its naturally occurring mechanical vibrations to a near standstill. view more (2009-06-18)
Evidence of macroscopic quantum tunneling detected in nanowires
A team of researchers at the University of Illinois has demonstrated that, counter to classical Newtonian mechanics, an entire collection of superconducting electrons in an ultrathin superconducting wire is able to "tunnel" as a pack from a state with a higher electrical current to one with a notably lower current, providing more... view more...

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)
Next Step to the Quantum Computer
Physicists from the University of Bonn have succeeded in taking a decisive step forward towards processing quantum information with neutral atoms: in the latest issue of the 'Physical Review Letters' vol. 93 (2004) they describe how they managed to set up a quantum register experimentally. Their next aim is to construct a quantum gate in which two... view more... (2004-10-08)
Europe leads the world in science communication
European science communication experts meeting in Poland strongly urge the governments of all European nations to increase their financial and motivational support for science communication events. EUSCEA, the European Science Events Association, brings together the leaders of Science Festivals and Science Weeks from all over the continent of... view more... (2003-06-17)
Long-distance record -- 'Quantum keys' sent 200 kilometers
Particles of light serving as "quantum keys"-the latest in encryption technology-have been sent over a record-setting 200-kilometer fiber-optic link by researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NTT Corp. in Japan, and Stanford University. view more (2007-06-04)
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)
Single spinning nuclei in diamond offer a stable quantum computing building block
Surmounting several distinct hurdles to quantum computing, physicists at Harvard University have found that individual carbon-13 atoms in a diamond lattice can be manipulated with extraordinary precision to create stable quantum mechanical memory and a small quantum processor, also known as a quantum register, operating at room temperature. view more (2007-06-01)
Can email help doctors use their time more productively?
In almost every era doctors have perceived themselves as "running faster" but there is little evidence to support this. Doctors feel stressed because there is now so much more they can do. There are more external forces impinging on their practice and patients and the public have raised expectations, yet patients value meaningful time... view more... (2001-08-01)
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)
Quantum dot recipe may lead to cheaper solar panels
Rice University scientists today revealed a breakthrough method for producing molecular specks of semiconductors called quantum dots, a discovery that could clear the way for better, cheaper solar energy panels. view more (2007-05-03)
Quantum analog of Ulam's conjecture can guide molecules, reactions
Like navigating spacecraft through the solar system by means of gravity and small propulsive bursts, researchers can guide atoms, molecules and chemical reactions by utilizing the forces that bind nuclei and electrons into molecules (analogous to gravity) and by using light for propulsion. view more (2007-08-08)
Quantum physics pioneer honoured in Bristol
According to a current magazine advertisement, quantum physics is getting easier. It’s doubtful whether most of the population would agree with this. However, today (12 December) in Bristol, one of the pioneers of quantum physics, Noble prize-winner Paul Dirac, is being commemorated in two separate ceremonies. The first is in the Bishopston... view more... (2000-12-08)
RC-LEDs - Super-fast light sources suitable for data transfer
Resonance-cavity light-emitting diodes (RC-LEDs) are a new type of light source which produces very intense light from quantum wells located in a microcavity. As light sources, RC-LEDs are classified as something between laser diodes and conventional light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The advantages of RC-LEDs compared with conventional LEDs include a... view more... (2000-02-25)
