Paths of Photons Are Random -- But Coordinated
December 20, 2012 Researchers have demonstrated that photons (light particles) emitted from light sources embedded in a complex and disordered structure are able to mutually coordinate their paths through the medium. ... > full story -
Schrödinger's Cat Has a Light Touch: Quantum Physics Used to Observe Delicate Systems
December 18, 2012 A new paper introduces a novel way to observe very delicate bodies based on quantum physics. Researchers in Spain have shown that groups of photons organized in certain quantum states can gently ... > full story -
Extending Einstein's Ideas: New Kind of Quantum Entanglement Demonstrated
December 14, 2012 Physicists have published new research which builds on the original ideas of Einstein and adds a new ingredient: a third entangled ... > full story -
Physicists Make Strides in Understanding Quantum Entanglement
December 14, 2012 While some theoretical physicists make predictions about astrophysics and the behavior of stars and galaxies, others work in the realm of the very small, which includes quantum physics. Recently, ... > full story -
New Method to Understand Superconductors
December 12, 2012 Researchers have devised a new method to understand the processes that happen when atoms cool which could lead to new materials for superconducting power grids and widespread use of magnetic ... > full story -
Photosynthesis: Mysterious Enzyme Structure Solved
December 12, 2012 Scientists have solved a long-standing puzzle in photosynthesis research. With the aid of quantum chemistry they were able to provide unexpected insight into the properties of the oxygen evolving ... > full story -
Before 'Skyfall': 46 Years of Violence in James Bond Movies
December 10, 2012 Violent acts in James Bond films were more than twice as common in "Quantum of Solace" (2008) than in the original 1962 movie "Dr. No," researchers have ... > full story -
Do We Live in a Computer Simulation Run by Our Descendants? Researchers Say Idea Can Be Tested
December 10, 2012 A decade ago, a British philosopher put forth the possibility that our universe might be a computer simulation run by our descendants. Now, physicists have come up with a potential test to see if the ... > full story -
Switching With a Few Photons for Quantum Computing
December 5, 2012 Quantum computing, where bits of information, or "qubits," are represented by the state of single atomic particles or photons of light, won't be of much use unless we can read the results. ... > full story -
Superconductors That Work by Themselves: Scientists Discover New Possibilities in Cryoelectronics
December 5, 2012 Scientists have experimentally demonstrated a new type of superconducting element -- named the phi-Josephson junction. Implemented in cryogenic devices, this element will make superconducting ... > full story
