'Spooky Action at a Distance' Aboard the International Space Station
April 9, 2013 Albert Einstein famously described quantum entanglement as "spooky action at distance"; however, up until now experiments that examine this peculiar aspect of physics have been limited to relatively ... > full story -
Don't Call It Vaporware: Scientists Use Cloud of Atoms as Optical Memory Device
April 4, 2013 Talk about storing data in the cloud. Scientists have taken this to a whole new level by demonstrating that they can store visual images within quite an ethereal memory device -- a thin vapor of ... > full story -
Quantum Tricks Drive Magnetic Switching Into the Fast Lane
April 3, 2013 Researchers in the U.S. and Greece have found a new way to switch magnetism that is at least 1000 times faster than currently used in magnetic memory technologies. Magnetic switching is used to ... > full story -
Building Quantum States With Individual Silicon Atoms
April 3, 2013 By introducing individual silicon atom 'defects' using a scanning tunneling microscope, scientists have coupled single atoms to form quantum ... > full story -
Quantum Cryptography: On Wings of Light

Quantum Dot Commands Light: A Solid State Ultrafast Logic Gate on a Photon
April 1, 2013 If you could peek at the inner workings of a computer processor you would see billions of transistors switching back and forth between two states. In optical communications, information from the ... > full story -
Quantum Computing? Physicists' New Technique for Cooling Molecules May Be a Stepping Stone to Quantum Computing
March 27, 2013 At the heart of next-generation computers may be a collection of ultracold molecules held at temperatures a mere fraction of a degree above absolute zero. By combining two traditional atomic cooling ... > full story -
Speed of Light May Not Be Fixed, Scientists Suggest; Ephemeral Vacuum Particles Induce Speed-of-Light Fluctuations
March 25, 2013 Two new articles challenge established wisdom about the nature of vacuum. In one article scientists have identified a quantum level mechanism for interpreting vacuum as being filled with pairs of ... > full story -
Quantum Computers Counting on Carbon Nanotubes
March 21, 2013 Carbon nanotubes can be used as quantum bits for quantum computers. A study by physicists has shown how nanotubes can store information in the form of vibrations. Up to now, researchers have ... > full story -
Tenfold Boost in Ability to Pinpoint Proteins in Cancer Cells
March 19, 2013 A new method for color-coding cells allows cancer researchers to illuminate 100 biomarkers, a ten-time increase from the current standard. This helps to analyze individual cells from cultures or ... > full story
