Ultracold Experiments Heat Up Quantum Research
March 16, 2012 Physicists have experimentally demonstrated for the first time that atoms chilled to temperatures near absolute zero may behave like seemingly unrelated natural systems of vastly different scales, ... > full story -
Nanomanufacturing Using DNA Origami
March 7, 2012 In recent years, scientists have begun to harness DNA's powerful molecular machinery to build artificial structures at the nanoscale using the natural ability of pairs of DNA molecules to assemble ... > full story -
Nanomaterials: A Coating Protocol
March 5, 2012 A robust approach for preparing polymer-coated quantum dots may find use in a wide range of ... > full story -
Direct Measurement of the Formation Length of Photons
February 28, 2012 How long does it take an electron to form a photon? The answer would normally be: so short a time that it cannot be measured. However, the scientists responsible for experiment NA63 have now ... > full story -
World's Smallest Radio Stations: Two Molecules Communicate Via Single Photons
February 28, 2012 We know since the dawn of modern physics that although events in our everyday life can be described by classical physics, the interaction of light and matter is down deep governed by the laws of ... > full story -
Quantum Microphone Captures Extremely Weak Sound
February 27, 2012 Scientists have demonstrated a new kind of detector for sound at the level of quietness of quantum mechanics. The result offers prospects of a new class of quantum hybrid circuits that mix acoustic ... > full story -
Squeezing What Hasn't Been Squeezed Before: Another Victory Over Uncertainty in Quantum Physics Measurements
February 26, 2012 Uncertainty affects the accuracy with which measurements can be made in quantum physics. To reduce this uncertainty, physicists have learned to "squeeze" certain measurements. Researchers are now ... > full story -
Nanoscale Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Quantum Computer Get Nudge from New Research
February 23, 2012 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the nanoscale and the ever-elusive quantum computer are among the advancements edging closer toward the realm of possibility, and a new study may give both an ... > full story -
Observing Single Atoms During Relaxation Toward Equilibrium
February 22, 2012 Scientists have succeeded for the first time in simulating the dynamic behavior of strongly correlated individual atoms in solids. They were able to string atoms in so-called optical lattices and ... > full story -
One Step Closer to a New Kilogram
February 20, 2012 Researchers have produced technology capable of accurate measurements of Planck's constant, which is a significant step towards changing the international definition of the kilogram -- currently ... > full story
