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)
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)
What is time?
The concept of time is self-evident. An hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time. view more (2005-04-13)
NIST demonstrates better memory with quantum computer bits
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used charged atoms (ions) to demonstrate a quantum physics version of computer memory lasting longer than 10 seconds-more than 100,000 times longer than in previous experiments on the same ions. view more (2005-08-11)
Microwave synthesis connects with the (quantum) dots
Materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a simplified, low-cost process for producing high-quality, water-soluble "quantum dots" for biological research. view more (2008-06-13)
New Journal of Physics Quantum Cryptography Focus Issue
Real advances in quantum cryptography are described today, 12 July 2002, in a special issue of New Journal of Physics, published jointly by the Institute of Physics and the German Physical Society. Electronic transfer of information is vulnerable to attack by "eavesdroppers", hence the use of encryption techniques. Underlying nearly all forms of... view more... (2002-07-10)
Ancient neutrinos could put string theory and quantum loop gravity to the test
Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales. view more (2005-10-14)
Scientists from the UAB and ICMAB achieve unprecedented control of formation of nanostructures
A team of researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, together with researchers from ICMAB (CSIC) and other Russian and Ukrainian scientists, have discovered an unprecedented method for accurately controlling the formation of nanometric structures made of semiconducting material in the form of islands, using promising... view more...

MIT: Better way to harness waste heat
New MIT research points the way to a technology that might make it possible to harvest much of the wasted heat produced by everything from computer processor chips to car engines to electric powerplants, and turn it into usable electricity. view more (2009-11-19)
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara make discovery in quantum mechanics
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have made an important advance in quantum mechanics using a superconducting electrical circuit. The finding is reported in this week's issue of the journal Nature. view more (2009-09-24)
UCSB physicists move 1 step closer to quantum computing
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have made an important advance in electrically controlling quantum states of electrons, a step that could help in the development of quantum computing. view more (2009-11-20)
Eye researchers develop new 3-D monitor vision test for children
A new random-dot stereotest using a 3D display and infrared oculography has been found to objectively assess stereopsis in children older than three years according to an article published in the November 2006 issue of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS). view more (2006-10-26)
Straightening messy correlations with a quantum comb
Quantum computing promises ultra-fast communication, computation and more powerful ways to encrypt sensitive information. view more (2009-11-24)
Qubit link could pave the way for world's most powerful computers
Scientists at The University of Manchester have made a major breakthrough which could pave the way for a new type of high-speed computer. view more (2005-10-17)
The next step in quantum computing
A team of physicists in the United States has made an important step towards making quantum computing a reality. Research into a new type of noiseless quantum information bit, or qubit, is published today in the joint Institute of Physics and German Physical Society journal, New Journal of Physics. view more (2002-02-12)
Quantum computer solves problem, without running
By combining quantum computation and quantum interrogation, scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have found an exotic way of determining an answer to an algorithm - without ever running the algorithm. view more (2006-02-23)
Hebrew University Scientist One Of Four Profiled In Nature In Connection With Einstein Centenary
Dr. Dorit Aharonov, of the Benin School of Engineering and Computer Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has been chosen by the science journal Nature as one of four young theorists being profiled in the current issue of the magazine to mark the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's publication of three of his landmark theories in 1905,... view more...

NIST demonstrates 'universal' programmable quantum processor
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated the first "universal" programmable quantum information processor able to run any program allowed by quantum mechanics-the rules governing the submicroscopic world-using two quantum bits (qubits) of information. view more (2009-11-16)
Quantum paradox directly observed -- a milestone in quantum mechanics
In quantum mechanics, a vanguard of physics where science often merges into philosophy, much of our understanding is based on conjecture and probabilities, but a group of researchers in Japan has moved one of the fundamental paradoxes in quantum mechanics into the lab for experimentation and observed some of the 'spooky action of quantum... view more...

A Police Woman Fights Quantum Hacking and Cracking
The first desktop computers changed the way we managed data forever. Three decades after their introduction, we rely on them to manage our time, social life and finances - and to keep this information safe from prying eyes and online predators. view more (2009-07-31)
