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)

New record for information storage and retrieval lifetime advances quantum networks
Physicists have taken a significant step toward creation of quantum networks by establishing a new record for the length of time that quantum information can be stored in and retrieved from an ensemble of very cold atoms.   view more (2008-12-08)

Researchers untangle quantum quirk
Quantum computing has been hailed as the next leap forward for computers, promising to catapult memory capacity and processing speeds well beyond current limits. Several challenging problems need to be cracked, however, before the dream can be fully realized.   view more (2008-06-11)

First Bose-Einstein condensation of strontium
In an international first, scientists from the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) produced a Bose-Einstein condensate of the alkaline-earth element strontium, thus narrowly winning an international competition between many first-rate scientific groups   view more (2009-11-10)

All-in-one nanoparticle: A Swiss Army knife for nanomedicine
Nanoparticles are being developed to perform a wide range of medical uses -- imaging tumors, carrying drugs, delivering pulses of heat. Rather than settling for just one of these, researchers at the University of Washington have combined two nanoparticles in one tiny package.    view more (2009-07-28)

New device from CU physicist tests uncertainty principle to unprecedented level — and shows that looks can cool
In the submicroscopic world - the domain of elementary particles and individual atoms - things behave in the strange, counter-intuitive fashion governed by the principles of quantum mechanics.   view more (2006-09-25)

A tiny, tunable well of light, and a string theorist's toolbox

Caltech physicists detect entanglement of one photon shared among four locations
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed an efficient method to detect entanglement shared among multiple parts of an optical system.   view more (2009-05-11)

Stunt doubles: Ultracold atoms could replicate the electron 'jitterbug'
Ultracold atoms moving through a carefully designed arrangement of laser beams will jiggle slightly as they go, two NIST scientists have predicted.   view more (2008-03-11)

Thousands of atoms swap 'spins' with partners in quantum square dance
Physicists at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have induced thousands of atoms trapped by laser beams to swap "spins" with partners simultaneously.   view more (2007-07-26)

Physicists Entangle Photon and Atom in Atomic Cloud
uantum communication networks show great promise in becoming a highly secure communications system. By carrying information with photons or atoms, which are entangled so that the behavior of one affects the other, the network can easily detect any eavesdropper who tries to tap the system.   view more (2005-07-27)

ESA to look for the missing link in gravity
Although you can never be certain of predicting future developments in science, there is a good chance of a fundamental breakthrough in physics soon. With a series of unique experiments and missions designed to test our understanding of gravity, the European Space Agency (ESA) hopes to get to the very bottom of it. Scientists will study space... view more... (2002-09-11)

MU Researcher Investigates the Basis of Einstein's First Approximation in the Theory of Relativity
In his discussion of accelerated motion on page 60 of The Meaning of Relativity, Albert Einstein made an approximation that allowed him to develop the theory of relativity further.    view more (2009-07-16)

X marks the spot: Ions coldly go through NIST trap junction
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new ion trap that enables ions to go through an intersection while keeping their cool.   view more (2009-04-09)

Chemistry & Industry - 3 June Issue
NEWS Hydrogen is the fuel of the future says Johnson Matthey's CEO (page 4) Christopher Clark, chief executive of Johnson Matthey, warned that the world needs to change from carbon to hydrogen as its major energy source in the next decades, as the effects of global warming become more apparent. Regenerating human fingers (page 6) Japanese... view more... (2002-05-30)
