Quantum information now readable
Chalmers researchers in Sweden, in an EU project involving colleagues from France, Holland, Germany, Italy and Finland, have shown that outdata from superconductor quantum computers can be read directly, even though the signal consists only of the presence or absence of two electrons, a so-called Cooper pair. How far away are we from a functional... view more... (2002-04-08)
Press Invitation: Imperial College Centre for Electronic Materials and Devices Open Day
The Centre was established in October 1997 and encompasses the research activities in electronic materials and devices which are currently being pursued in various departments of the College. view more (1999-04-18)
Gold nanoparticle probes may allow earlier cancer detection
Using tiny gold particles embedded with dyes, researchers have shown that they can identify tumors under the skin of a living animal. These tools may allow doctors to detect and diagnose cancer earlier and less invasively. view more (2007-12-26)
Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields. view more (2007-11-02)
Study shows combination of sight and sound helps adults learn basic visual tasks more rapidly
Researchers from Boston University (BU) and UCLA have found that using multi-sensory training programs, a research technique that engages more than one of the senses, helps adults improve their performance of low-level perceptual tasks - such as visually detecting the motion of an object - significantly faster than methods that use only one... view more...

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)
Silicon chips for optical quantum technologies
A team of physicists and engineers has demonstrated exquisite control of single particles of light - photons - on a silicon chip to make a major advance towards the long sought after goal of a super-powerful quantum computer. view more (2008-03-28)
Immune Cell Communication, Cooperation Keys to Hunting Viruses, Jefferson Immunologists Show
Immunologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have used nanotechnology to create a novel 'biosensor' to solve in part a perplexing problem in immunology: how immune system cells called killer T-cells hunt down invading viruses. view more (2006-10-27)
Quantum computers could excel in modeling chemical reactions
Quantum computers would likely outperform conventional computers in simulating chemical reactions involving more than four atoms, according to scientists at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Haverford College. view more (2008-11-21)
Rutgers researchers 'rewrite the book' in quantum statistical physics
An important part of the decades-old assumption thought to be essential for quantum statistical physics is being challenged by researchers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and colleagues in Germany and Italy. view more (2006-02-10)
Boston University psychologists find neurological mechanism for subliminal learning
Watch out - you may learn something and not even know it, says Takeo Watanabe, an associate professor of psychology at Boston University's Center for Brain and Memory. Watanabe and his team recently pinpointed the mechanism that makes subliminal learning work. Watanabe will present the team's findings at the American Psychological Society meeting... view more...

Exploiting quantum mechanics for transmitting information is a tantalizing possibility because it promises secure, high speed communications. view more (2009-10-06)
The impact of its environment on a quantum computer
Scientists have discovered how the performance of a quantum computer can be affected by its surrounding environment. The study, published in the latest issue of the journal Science, will help engineers to better understand how to integrate quantum components into a standard office computer - moving us one step closer to a future of quantum... view more...

What happens when you pop a quantum balloon?
When a tiny, quantum-scale, hypothetical balloon is popped in a vacuum, do the particles inside spread out all over the place as predicted by classical mechanics" view more (2008-04-18)
Perceptual learning relies on local motion signals to learn global motion
Researchers have long known of the brain's ability to learn based on visual motion input, and a recent study has uncovered more insight into where the learning occurs. view more (2009-09-22)
Building On Sucess: Scope For Further Expansion Of Tuberculosis Control In China
The results of an initiative to reduce tuberculosis in China-supported by the World Bank and WHO-are reported in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Disease prevalence has been reduced by around 30% in areas where a treatment programme was introduced a decade ago; authors of the study comment that expansion of the programme to all areas of China will... view more...

DOTS Show the Way to Tackle the Toughest TB.
New research has shown for the first time that the spread of multi drug-resistant TB can be halted through a well executed standard treatment programme. Bacterial fingerprinting techniques used to track disease transmission in a southern Mexico community revealed that all categories of tuberculosis were controlled when the DOTS strategy was used. view more (2005-04-01)

Imaging quantum entanglement
An international team including scientists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) today publishes findings in the journal 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' (PNAS) demonstrating the dramatic effects of quantum mechanics in a simple magnet. view more (2007-09-24)
Fermions do not travel together, theory proved
Fermions tend to avoid each other and cannot "travel" in close proximity. Demonstrated by a team at the Institut d'optique (CNRS/Université Paris 11, Orsay-Palaiseau), this result is described in detail in the January 25, 2007 issue of Nature. It marks a major advance in our understanding of phenomena at a quantum scale. view more (2007-03-12)
