New Inexpensive Solar Cell Design
August 3, 2010 One of the most promising technologies for making inexpensive but reasonably efficient photovoltaic cells just got much cheaper. Scientists in Canada have shown that inexpensive nickel can work just ... > full story -
Physicists Develop Model That Pushes Limits of Quantum Theory, Relativity
August 3, 2010 Physicists recently developed a new theoretical model to explain how the Pauli exclusion principle can be violated and how, under certain rare conditions, more than one electron can simultaneously ... > full story -
Cold Atoms Image Microwave Fields
August 3, 2010 Microwaves are an essential part of modern communication technology. Mobile phones and laptops, for example, are equipped with integrated microwave circuits for wireless communication. Sophisticated ... > full story -
Ultra-Strong Interaction Between Light and Matter Realized: One More Step on the Path to Quantum Computers
July 30, 2010 Researchers around the world are working on the development of quantum computers that will be vastly superior to present-day computers. The strong coupling of quantum bits with light quanta plays a ... > full story -
Quantum Fractals at the Border of Magnetism
July 28, 2010 Physicists are reporting new results from experiments on the perplexing class of materials that includes high-temperature superconductors. The team reports the unexpected discovery of a simple ... > full story -
Quantum Phenomenon Observed: Atoms Form Organized Structure from Unorganized One
July 28, 2010 Physicists have experimentally observed a quantum phenomenon, where an arbitrarily weak perturbation causes atoms to build an organized structure from an initially unorganized ... > full story -
Scientists Watch a Chemical Bond Break Using Molecule's Electrons
July 28, 2010 Scientists followed a bromine chemical bond as it broke apart using an image that was obtained from a single molecular orbital. The experiment used an attosecond-duration X-ray burst to take a ... > full story -
More Accurate Than Heisenberg Allows? Uncertainty in the Presence of a Quantum Memory
July 27, 2010 Quantum cryptography is the safest way to encrypt data. It utilizes the fact that transmitted information can only be measured with a strictly limited degree of precision. Scientists have now ... > full story -
Position-Based Quantum Cryptography: New Method for Securing Location-Sensitive Data
July 26, 2010 Computer scientists have proved that cryptography, the practice and study of hiding information, based solely on location is possible by using quantum mechanics. This allows one to encrypt and ... > full story -
Quantum Mechanics Not in Jeopardy: Physicists Confirm a Decades-Old Key Principle Experimentally
July 22, 2010 When waves -- regardless of whether light or sound -- collide, they overlap creating interferences. Austrian and Canadian quantum physicists have now been able to rule out the existence of ... > full story
