Physicists establish 'spooky' quantum communication
Physicists at the University of Michigan have coaxed two separate atoms to communicate with a sort of quantum intuition that Albert Einstein called "spooky."   view more (2007-09-06)

NIST/Maryland Researchers Demonstrate 'Quantum Data Buffering' Scheme
Pushing the envelope of Albert Einstein's "spooky action at a distance," known as entanglement, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) of the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland have demonstrated a "quantum buffer," a technique that could be used... view more...

Quantum dot method rapidly identifies bacteria
A rapid method for detecting and identifying very small numbers of diverse bacteria, from anthrax to E. coli, has been developed by scientists from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).   view more (2006-03-31)

New nanosensor uses quantum dots to detect DNA
Using tiny semiconductor crystals, biological probes and a laser, Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a new method of finding specific sequences of DNA by making them light up beneath a microscope.   view more (2005-12-06)

Research measures movement of nanomaterials in simple model food chain
New research shows that while engineered nanomaterials can be transferred up the lowest levels of the food chain from single celled organisms to higher multicelled ones, the amount transferred was relatively low and there was no evidence of the nanomaterials concentrating in the higher level organisms.   view more (2008-06-02)

Record breaking quantum encryption
The latest steps towards an uncrackable code have been taken by scientists in both Switzerland and the US, who have found novel ways of generating and transmitting "quantum keys" respectively. Both techniques are reported today, 12 July 2002, in New Journal of Physics, published jointly by the Institute of Physics and the German Physical... view more... (2002-07-10)

New quantum key system combines speed, distance
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a prototype high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) system, based on a new detector system that achieves dramatically lower noise levels than similar systems.   view more (2007-06-11)

Method slashes quantum dot costs by 80 percent
In an important advance toward the large-scale manufacture of fluorescent quantum dots, scientists at Rice University have developed a new method of replacing the pricey solvents used in quantum dot synthesis with cheaper oils that are commonplace at industrial chemical plants.   view more (2005-09-08)

Vanquishing infinity
Quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of general relativity are both extremely accurate theories of how the universe works, but all attempts to combine the two into a unified theory have ended in failure.   view more (2009-08-18)

Drug resistance may travel same path as quorum sensing
The cellular "pumps" associated with multi-drug resistance in bacteria may also be involved in exporting signals responsible for cell-cell communication, a process known as quorum sensing.   view more (2006-02-07)

Argonne researcher studies what makes quantum dots blink
In order to learn more about the origins of quantum dot blinking, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago and the California Institute of Technology have developed a method to characterize it on faster time scales than have previously been accessed.   view more (2007-10-05)

Getting warmer -- Leeds research brings terahertz closer to everyday use
A collaboration between the Universities of Leeds and Harvard has turned the heat up on terahertz technology, bringing a handheld terahertz device a step closer to reality.   view more (2008-03-31)

CANCER DOCTORS COULD BENEFIT FROM TRAINING IN COMMUNICATION SKILLS (p 650)
Senior doctors working in cancer medicine could benefit from intensive communication-skills training to assist the often complex and distressing issues surrounding cancer care, conclude authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Doctors' communication with patients is commonly hampered by a lack of communication-skills training.... view more... (2002-02-20)

Mechanics: Ordinary meets quantum
