University of Cincinnati researchers create all-electric spintronics
A multidisciplinary team of UC researchers is the first to find an innovative and novel way to control an electron's spin orientation using purely electrical means. view more (2009-10-28)
University of Oklahoma Researchers Discover Giant Rydberg Atom Molecules
A group of University of Oklahoma researchers led by Dr. James P. Shaffer, Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy, have discovered giant Rydberg molecules with a bond as large as a red blood cell. view more (2009-06-25)
Tiny avalanche photodiodes target bioterrorism agents
After the anthrax attacks in the United States in 2001 the threat of a larger and more deadly bioterrorism attack - perhaps from smallpox, plague or tularemia - became very real. But the ability to detect such biological agents and rapidly contain an attack is still being developed. view more (2005-09-14)
'Racetrack' for fast electrons in semiconductor structures
In order to realize the electrical units of voltage, resistance and current with highest accuracy quantum effects in nano-circuits are nowadays used. Important prerequisites are extremely pure semiconductor layers where high-mobile electrons move through the crystal without collision with residual impurities. view more (2008-08-29)
Atoms don't dance the 'bose nova'
Hanns-Christoph Naegerl's research group has investigated how ultracold quantum gases behave in lower spatial dimensions. They successfully realized an exotic state, where, due to the laws of quantum mechanics, atoms align along a one-dimensional structure. view more (2009-09-04)
Code for unbreakable quantum encryption generated at record speed over fiber
Raw code for 'unbreakable' encryption, based on the principles of quantum physics, has been generated at record speed over optical fiber at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2006-04-19)
Computing a way through the Turing barrier
Mathematicians working in an emerging field somewhere between physics, computer science and philosophy are investigating new ways of 'computing the incomputable' which could radically broaden our understanding of the world. Pure mathematics professor Barry Cooper is leading a European network into a world of 'unsolvable' problems. view more (2005-02-21)
Researchers examine potential for 'refilling' hydrogen storage material
Performing quantum calculations on a supercomputer, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have characterized a material that might allow on-board refueling of hydrogen powered vehicles. view more (2005-08-29)
A Single-Photon Server with Just One Atom
Every time you switch on a light bulb, 10 to the power of 15 (a million times a billion) visible photons, the elementary particles of light, are illuminating the room in every second. If that is too many for you, light a candle. view more (2007-03-13)
A new tool to help fight global warming
A revolutionary software system which could help manufacturers reduce CFC emissions is being developed thanks to an £80,000 investment from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organization which invests in UK creativity. view more (2004-11-02)
New quantum state: two electrons trapped in an excited atom
Researchers from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the University of Salamanca have discovered a method to generate a new quantum phenomenon which had never been explored until now: simultaneous trapping of two particules between two excited energy states. The research, reported in Physical Review Letters may have important applications... view more... (2002-01-23)
NIST physicists demonstrate quantum entanglement in mechanical system
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated entanglement-a phenomenon peculiar to the atomic-scale quantum world-in a mechanical system similar to those in the macroscopic everyday world. view more (2009-06-04)
'Science:' Novel quantum effect directly observed and explained
An international research team has succeeded in gaining an in-depth insight into an unusual phenomenon, as reported in the current edition of the high-impact journal "Science". view more (2009-02-13)
Moving a bit nearer to a quantum computer
By the time you`ve had your new computer for six months, much faster processors will already be on the market. But there is a limit to how fast conventional computers can become. This is because computers process information in a step-by-step fashion, carrying out each part of the process in turn. To make things work really fast, we need to build... view more... (2002-07-23)
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)
The UK Must Exploit Its Strengths In Silicon Chip Design Or Lose Out In Global Computing Market
Urgent action by Government and business is needed to prevent substantial scientific and commercial opportunities in the international computing market being squandered. This call is made in Chips for Everything: Britain's opportunities in a key global market, a report from the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, published today.... view more...

Princeton scientists discover exotic quantum state of matter
A team of scientists from Princeton University has found that one of the most intriguing phenomena in condensed-matter physics -- known as the quantum Hall effect -- can occur in nature in a way that no one has ever before seen. view more (2008-04-25)
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)
Children and home computers: living up to parental aspirations?
Most parents regard supporting their children's education as a major motivator for buying a home computer. However most children are using them to play games. These are the findings of recent research, carried out by Lucinda Kerawalla and Dr Charles Crook, presented today, Thursday 28 June, at the International Conference on Communication, Problem... view more...

'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)
