Switching Cause and Effect in Quantum World? A Causes B Causes A
October 2, 2012 A deeply rooted concept in everyday life is causality; the idea that events in the present are caused by events in the past and, in turn, act as causes for what happens in the future. Physicists have ... > full story -
Quantum Physics: First Images of Landau Levels Revealed
October 1, 2012 Physicists have directly imaged Landau Levels – the quantum levels that determine electron behavior in a strong magnetic field – for the first time since they were theoretically conceived ... > full story -
Electrons Confined Inside Nano-Pyramids
September 28, 2012 Quantum dots are nanostructures of semiconducting materials that behave a lot like single atoms and are very easy to produce. Given their special properties, researchers see huge potential for ... > full story -
Novel Materials Become Multifunctional at Ultimate Quantum Limit
September 25, 2012 Physicists have examined the lower limits of novel materials called complex oxides and discovered that unlike conventional semiconductors the materials not only conduct electricity, but also develop ... > full story -
A Clock That Will Last Forever: Proposal to Build First Space-Time Crystal
September 24, 2012 Imagine a clock that will keep perfect time forever or a device that opens new dimensions into the study of quantum phenomena such as emergence and entanglement. Researchers have proposed a ... > full story -
Squeeze Light 'Till It Hurts' on a Quantum Scale: Researchers Push the Boundaries on Ultra-Precise Measurement
