Superfluorescence Seen from Solid-State Material: Many Bodies Make One Coherent Burst of Light
January 30, 2012 — In a flash, the world changed for Tim Noe -- and for physicists who study what they call many-body problems. The graduate student was the first to see, in the summer of 2010, proof of a theory that ... > full story -
Bright Lights of Purity: Why Pure Quantum Dots and Nanorods Shine Brighter
January 30, 2012 — Researchers have discovered why a promising technique for making quantum dots and nanorods has so far been a disappointment. Better still, they've also discovered how to correct the ... > full story -
Speed Limit on the Quantum Highway: Physicists Measure Propagation Velocity of Quantum Signals in a Many-Body System
January 25, 2012 — A quantum computer based on quantum particles instead of classical bits, can in principle outperform any classical computer. However, it still remains an open question, how fast and how efficient ... > full story -
Lab Mimics Jupiter's Trojan Asteroids Inside a Single Atom
January 24, 2012 — Physicists have built an accurate model of part of the solar system inside a single atom. Scientists have shown that they could make an electron orbit the atomic nucleus in the same way that ... > full storyMore: -
New Breed of Electron Interactions in Quantum Systems
January 23, 2012 — Physicists have observed a new kind of interaction that can arise between electrons in a single-atom silicon transistor, offering a more complete understanding of the mechanisms that govern electron ... > full story -
Cooling Semiconductors by Laser Light
January 22, 2012 — Researchers have combined two fields -- quantum physics and nano physics -- and this has led to the discovery of a new method for laser cooling semiconductor membranes. Semiconductors are vital ... > full story -
Hyperthermia Treatment of Cancer Using Magnetic Nanoparticles
January 22, 2012 — Scientists have investigated theoretically the mechanism of hyperthermic potentiation of cancers using magnetic nanoparticles, which enables selective heating of hidden micro cancer tissue, and ... > full story
