A New Route to Dissipationless Electronics
August 19, 2012 — A team of researchers has demonstrated a new material that promises to eliminate loss in electrical power transmission. The surprise is that their methodology for solving this classic energy problem ... > full story -
Electronic Read-out of Quantum Bits
August 16, 2012 — Quantum computers promise to reach computation speeds far beyond that of today’s computers. As they would use quantum effects, however, they would also be susceptible to external interferences. ... > full story -
First Direct Observations of Quantum Effects in an Optomechanical System
August 15, 2012 — Using a unique optical trapping system that provides ensembles of ultracold atoms, scientists have recorded the first direct observations of distinctly quantum optical effects -- amplification and ... > full story -
Behaviors of the Tiniest Water Droplets Revealed
August 15, 2012 — A new study has uncovered fundamental details about the hexamer structures that make up the tiniest droplets of water, the key component of life -- and one that scientists still don't fully ... > full story -
Structure of Superheavy Elements in 'Island of Stability': Nucleus 256Rf Can Now Be Studied in Depth
August 15, 2012 — One of the most sought-after goals in nuclear physics is an understanding of the structure of superheavy elements in the so-called "island of stability". These nuclei contain a large number of ... > full story -
Speedy Ions Could Add Zip to Quantum Computers
August 13, 2012 — Take that, sports cars! Physicists can accelerate their beryllium ions from zero to 100 miles per hour and stop them in just a few microseconds. The researchers think their zippy ions may be useful ... > full story -
Quantum Cryptography Theory Has a Demonstrated Security Defect
August 10, 2012 — Researchers have just demonstrated the incompleteness and limit of the security theory in quantum key distribution. The present theory cannot guarantee unconditional ... > full story -
Higgs Transition of North and South Poles of Electrons in a Magnet
August 7, 2012 — Minimal evidence of a Higgs transition;1 of north and south poles of electron spins was observed in a magnet Yb2Ti2O7 at the absolute temperature;2 0.21 K. A fractionalization of these monopoles from ... > full story -
Quantum Physics: New Insights Into the Remote Control of Quantum Systems
August 6, 2012 — Physicists shine new light on the question of the resources required for achieving quantum information processing. The scientists demonstrate that less demanding resources, which are easier to ... > full story -
Information Advantage Gained from Surprising Quantum Source
August 6, 2012 — New research lends hope that a phenomenon called quantum discord could be harnessed to bring quantum technologies within easier reach than ... > full story
