Webcams Offer a Low-Cost Way to Tune Lasers for Serious Science
December 4, 2012 Using a handful of inexpensive components -- including an off-the-shelf computer webcam and a small diffraction grating, a device for splitting and diffracting light into several beams -- researchers ... > full story -
Bismuth Provides Perfect Dance Partners for Quantum Computing Qubits
December 2, 2012 New research has demonstrated a way to make bismuth electrons and nuclei work together as qubits in a quantum ... > full story -
The Beginning of Everything: New Paradigm Shift for the Infant Universe
November 29, 2012 A new paradigm for understanding the earliest eras in the history of the universe has been developed. The new paradigm shows, for the first time, that the large-scale structures we now see in the ... > full story -
Illuminating the No-Man's Land of Waters' Surface: Strong Electric Charge Observed at the Interface Between Oil and Water Is Not Due to Impurities
November 27, 2012 Scientist are refuting previously held theories and offering a new explanation of electrochemical phenomena occurring at the interface between water and a hydrophobic matter. A new paradigm may be on ... > full story -
Undisturbed Excitation With Pulsed Light
November 22, 2012 The best method to obtain the most precise information on the inner structure of atoms and molecules is to excite them by means of resonant laser light. Unfortunately, just this laser light (above a ... > full story -
Lava Dots: Hollow, Soft-Shelled Quantum Dots Created
November 19, 2012 Serendipity proved to be a key ingredient for newly created nanoparticles. The new "lava dot" particles were discovered accidentally when researchers stumbled upon a way to use molten droplets of ... > full story -
BaBar Experiment Confirms Time Asymmetry: Time's Quantum Arrow Has a Preferred Direction, New Analysis Shows
November 19, 2012 Digging through nearly 10 years of data from billions of BaBar particle collisions, researchers found that certain particle types change into one another much more often in one way than they do in ... > full story -
Beating the Dark Side of Quantum Computing
November 16, 2012 A future quantum computer will be able to carry out calculations billions of times faster than even today's most powerful machines by exploit the fact that the tiniest particles, molecules, atoms and ... > full story -
Physicists Skirt Thermal Vibration, Transfer Optical Signal Via Mechanical Oscillator
November 15, 2012 Using tiny radiation pressure forces, physicists converted an optical field, or signal, from one color to another, aided by a "dark mode." The conversion occurs through the coupling between light and ... > full story -
Sisyphean Task for Polar Molecules
November 14, 2012 A new cooling method for polyatomic molecules paves the way for the investigation of molecular gases near absolute zero ... > full story
