Laser-cooling brings large object near absolute zero
Using a laser-cooling technique that could one day allow scientists to observe quantum behavior in large objects, MIT researchers have cooled a coin-sized object to within one degree of absolute zero.   view more (2007-04-09)

Power emerges from consensus in monkey social networks
Research on communication typically focuses on how individuals use signals to influence the behavior of receivers, thus primarily focusing on pairs of individuals.   view more (2006-09-05)

Overcoming communication problems - Interpersonal Communication
Our personalities are judged by the way we talk The social and psychological importance of interpersonal communication - Professor Pam Enderby, Professor of Community Rehabilitation at the University of Sheffield. When somebody speaks 'strangely', all too often we judge them as actually being 'strange'. The way we communicate is fundamental to... view more... (1999-06-03)

British scientists create electron surf machine
By precisely controlling billions of individual electrons every second, they hope to develop new computing systems and increase the security of digital communication.   view more (2007-06-13)

Quantum Systems Could Flout Physics Law
Scientists in the Weizmann Institute's Faculty of Chemistry, together with colleagues in Germany, have made a startling prediction: Simply 'taking the temperature' of certain quantum systems at frequent intervals might cause them to disobey a hard and fast rule of thermodynamics.   view more (2008-06-03)

'Smart' nanoprobes light up disease
Researchers from Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) have developed a "smart" beacon hundreds of times smaller than a human cell that is programmed to light up only when activated by specific proteases.   view more (2005-08-02)

Quantum Evolution - The New Science of Life
A clue to understanding life is the realisation that its dynamics are different than those that rule the non-living. For inanimate objects, the dynamics we see are the product of the disordered motion of billions of particles; they are a kind of average dynamics. At the macroscopic level we see patterns and order, but at the molecular level there... view more... (2000-01-31)

Magnetic transistor could 'dial in' quantum effects
A team of theoretical and experimental physicists from Rice University is preparing a unique probe in hopes of "dialing in" elusive quantum states called "quantum criticalities."   view more (2005-12-13)

UA scientists discover quantum fingerprints of chaos
Chaotic behavior is the rule, not the exception, in the world we experience through our senses, the world governed by the laws of classical physics.   view more (2009-10-08)

New paper offers insights into 'blinking' phenomena
A new paper by a team of researchers led by University of Notre Dame physicist Bolizsár Jankó provides an overview of research into one of the few remaining unsolved problems of quantum mechanics.   view more (2008-07-02)

Communicating with young people who are seriously ill is difficult
Young people who are seriously ill can feel unable to participate in consultations and parents may be reluctant to communicate openly with their children. Health professionals must try to balance the different priorities of young people and parents, suggest researchers in this week's BMJ. Thirteen cancer patients aged 8-17 years, and their... view more... (2003-02-05)

Quantum Effects Make the Difference
The atomic constituents of matter are never still, even at absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius). This consequence of quantum mechanics can result in continuous transition between different material states. Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids have studied this phenomenon using ytterbium, rhodium and silicon at... view more... (2007-03-05)

Stanford researchers hear the sound of quantum drums
Forty years ago, mathematician Mark Kac asked the theoretical question, "Can one hear the shape of a drum?"   view more (2008-02-11)

Disruptive pupils and classroom communication
Better communication between under-achieving pupils and their teachers can improve the pupils' socialisation and school achievement. That is the finding of research by Dr Isolina Oliveira and Dr Margarida César of the University of Lisbon (Portugal), presented today, Thursday 28 June 2001, at the International Conference on Communication,... view more...

European Molecular Biology Organization announces the EMBO Award for Communication in the Life Sciences
This year for the first time EMBO will award Euro 5 000 and a silver medal for outstanding works of public communication in the life sciences. Eligible are practising scientists working in research in Europe or Israel. "EMBO recognises the huge efforts that some scientists make to communicate their science to the public while remaining active in... view more... (2002-04-25)

Diamonds may be the ultimate MRI probe, say Quantum physicists
Diamonds, it has long been said, are a girl's best friend. But a research team including a physicist from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently found that the gems might turn out to be a patient's best friend as well.   view more (2009-09-23)

UCLA physicists create world's smallest incandescent lamp
In an effort to explore the boundary between thermodynamics and quantum mechanics - two fundamental yet seemingly incompatible theories of physics - a team from the UCLA Department of Physics and Astronomy has created the world's smallest incandescent lamp.   view more (2009-05-07)

Quantum goes massive
An astrophysics experiment in America has demonstrated how fundamental research in one subject area can have a profound effect on work in another as the instruments used for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) pave the way for quantum experiments on a macroscopic scale.   view more (2009-07-16)

Phantom parent molecule of important class of chemical compounds isolated for first time
A team of scientists from the University of Georgia and two European universities has, for the first time, synthesized and characterized the elusive parent molecule of an important class of chemical compounds.   view more (2008-06-12)

'Tornadoes' are transferred from light to sodium atoms
For the first time, tornado-like rotational motions have been transferred from light to atoms in a controlled way at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).   view more (2006-11-10)
