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)

Classical Physics falls short
With the aid of so-called quantum dots, PhD student Wilfred van der Wiel has gained new insight into quantum-mechanical processes. "This is one of the paths that could lead to smaller, but also fundamentally different electronics, " says Van der Wiel. He will receive his degree on 28 January for his fundamental research. Parts of his... view more... (2002-01-20)
