New Path For Designing Novel Nanomaterials Discovered
October 12, 2007 Scientists have found a novel way to "look" at atomic orbitals, and have directly shown for the first time that they change substantially when interacting at the interface of a ferromagnet and a ... > full story -

Quantum Computing Possibilites Enhanced With New Material
October 8, 2007 A newly developed material could be to computers of the future what silicon is to the computers of today. The material -- a compound made from the elements potassium, niobium and oxygen, along with ... > full story -
Quantum Device Traps, Detects And Manipulates The Spin Of Single Electrons
September 27, 2007 Engineers have made a novel device that simply and conveniently traps, detects and manipulates the single spin of an electron, overcoming some major obstacles that have prevented progress toward ... > full story -
A New Look At The Proton
September 25, 2007 A young scientist has investigated more than three million collisions between electrons and protons. In his PhD thesis he demonstrates -- for the first time -- that the spin contribution of quarks to ... > full story -
Imaging Quantum Entanglement
September 21, 2007 Scientists have demonstrated the dramatic effects of quantum mechanics in a simple magnet. The importance of the work lies in establishing how a conventional tool of material science -- neutron beams ... > full story -
Deep Earth Model Challenged By New Experiment
September 20, 2007 In the first experiments able to mimic the crushing, searing conditions found in Earth's lower mantle, and simultaneously probe telltale properties of iron, scientists have discovered that material ... > full story -
Could Graphene Replace Silicon in Electronics?
September 14, 2007 A game of billiards may never get smaller than this. Physicists have demonstrated that graphene -- a one-atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal rings -- can act as an atomic-scale ... > full story -
Missing Link In The Evolution Of Magnetic Cataclysmic Stars?
September 14, 2007 Astronomers might have discovered the missing link in the evolution of the so-called magnetic cataclysmic variable stars. They determined the spin and orbital periods of the binary star Paloma. They ... > full story -
Probing A Rare Material Spin State
September 14, 2007 A group of physicists has found experimental evidence of a highly sought-after type of arrangement of atomic magnetic moments, or spins, in a series of materials. Their work, one of the very few ... > full story -
Ability To Write And Store Information On Electronic Devices Improved
September 13, 2007 Research provides a more thorough understanding of new mechanisms, which makes it possible to switch a magnetic nanoparticle without any magnetic field and may enable computers to more accurately ... > full story
