Watching the Quantum Race of Electrons
June 21, 2012 For the first time ever, physicists have observed the race of two electrons that are liberated from atoms in the course of photoionization, i.e. under the influence of laser radiation. In order to ... > full story -
Black Holes as Particle Detectors
June 18, 2012 Black holes could serve as particle detectors, say scientists. Axions, a hypothetical but not improbable kind of particles, could accumulate around a black hole, creating a "boson cloud". After some ... > full story -
Quantum Computing? Quantum Bar Magnets in a Transparent Salt
June 15, 2012 Scientists have managed to switch on and off the magnetism of a new material using quantum mechanics, making the material a test bed for future quantum ... > full story -
Relocating LEDs from Silicon to Copper Enhances Efficiency
June 14, 2012 Chinese researchers have succeeded in transferring gallium nitride (GaN) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on a layer of silicon to a layer of copper. In comparison with LEDs on silicon substrates, ... > full story -

Helices of Light: Dark Helices With a Bright Future
June 11, 2012 Laser beams can be made to form dark as well as bright intensity helices, or corkscrews of light. Scientists have now shown that forming dark helices can have considerable advantages over ... > full story -
Quantum Computers Move Closer to Reality, Thanks to Highly Enriched and Highly Purified Silicon
June 7, 2012 Scientists have made the next step towards making quantum computing a reality -- through the unique properties of highly enriched and highly purified ... > full story -
Breaking the Limits of Classical Physics: Light's Quantum Mechanical Properties Demonstrated
June 7, 2012 With simple arguments, researchers show that nature is complicated! Researchers have made a simple experiment that demonstrates that nature violates common sense. The experiment illustrates that ... > full story -
Precise Measurement of Radiation Damage on Materials
June 5, 2012 Researchers have for the first time simulated and quantified the early stages of radiation damage that will occur in a given ... > full story -
Splitting the Unsplittable: Physicists Split an Atom Using Quantum Mechanics Precision
June 5, 2012 Researchers have just shown how a single atom can be split into its two halves, pulled apart and put back together again. While the word "atom" literally means "indivisible," the laws of quantum ... > full story
