Quantum Physicists Show a Small Amount of Randomness Can Be Amplified Without Limit
May 16, 2012 — Once again quantum physics gives us philosophical implications: physicists have shown how a small amount of randomness can be amplified without ... > full story -
New 'Metamaterial' Practical for Optical Advances
May 15, 2012 — Researchers have taken a step toward overcoming a key obstacle in commercializing "hyperbolic metamaterials," structures that could bring optical advances including ultrapowerful microscopes, ... > full story -
Beyond the High-Speed Hard Drive: Topological Insulators Open a Path to Room-Temperature Spintronics
May 15, 2012 — Theorists and experimenters have explored the unique properties of topological insulators, where electrons may flow on the surface without resistance, with spin orientations and directions intimately ... > full story -
Watching the 'Birth' of an Electron: Ionization Viewed With 10 Attosecond Resolution
May 15, 2012 — A strong laser beam can remove an electron from an atom – a process which takes place almost instantly. This phenomenon could now be studied with a time resolution of less than ten attoseconds ... > full story -
You Can't Play Nano-Billiards on a Bumpy Table
May 14, 2012 — There's nothing worse than a shonky pool table with an unseen groove or bump that sends your shot off course: a new study has found that the same goes at the nano-scale, where the "billiard balls" ... > full story -
In Metallic Glasses, Researchers Find a Few New Atomic Structures
May 11, 2012 — Drawing on powerful computational tools and a state-of-the-art scanning transmission electron microscope, materials science and engineering researchers have discovered a new nanometer-scale atomic ... > full story -
Photonics: New Approach to Generating Terahertz Radiation Will Lead to New Imaging and Sensing Applications
May 10, 2012 — A new approach to generating terahertz radiation will lead to new imaging and sensing applications. The low energy of the radiation means that it can pass through materials that are otherwise opaque, ... > full story -
Significant Water Anomaly Explained
May 9, 2012 — Physicists have just explained a puzzling water anomaly -- a deviation from the common form -- of water ice that has been largely neglected and never before ... > full story -
Quantum Dots Brighten the Future of Lighting
May 8, 2012 — Researchers have boosted the efficiency of a novel source of white light called quantum dots more than tenfold, making them of potential interest for commercial ... > full story -
Chemistry: Scientists Unlock Mystery of How 'Handedness' Arises in Proteins, Other Functional Molecules
May 8, 2012 — Chemists have solved a molecular mystery. The overwhelming majority of proteins and other functional molecules in our bodies display a striking molecular characteristic: They can exist in two ... > full story -
New Material Class Developed: Pentamode Metamaterial
May 8, 2012 — Engineers have succeeded in realizing a new material class through the manufacturing of a stable crystalline metafluid, a pentamode metamaterial. Using new nanostructuring methods, these materials ... > full story -
Billiard Game in an Atom: Physicists Trace Double Ionization of Argon Atoms on Attosecond Time Scales
May 8, 2012 — Physicists have traced the double ionization of argon atoms on attosecond time scales. When an intense laser pulse interacts with an atom it generates agitation on the micro scale. The most likely ... > full storyMore:
