Quantum Computers Counting on Carbon Nanotubes
March 21, 2013 Carbon nanotubes can be used as quantum bits for quantum computers. A study by physicists has shown how nanotubes can store information in the form of vibrations. Up to now, researchers have ... > full story -
Tenfold Boost in Ability to Pinpoint Proteins in Cancer Cells
March 19, 2013 A new method for color-coding cells allows cancer researchers to illuminate 100 biomarkers, a ten-time increase from the current standard. This helps to analyze individual cells from cultures or ... > full story -
Laser-Like Photons Signal Major Step Towards Quantum 'Internet'
March 19, 2013 The realization of quantum networks is one of the major challenges of modern physics. Now, new research shows how high-quality photons can be generated from "solid-state" chips, bringing us closer to ... > full story -
Causing Collapse: Can One Affect an Atom's Spin Just by Adjusting the Way It Is Measured?
March 18, 2013 One of the most basic laws of quantum mechanics is that a system can be in more than one state -- it can exist in multiple realities -- at once. This phenomenon, known as the superposition principle, ... > full story -
Smallest Vibration Sensor in the Quantum World
March 15, 2013 Carbon nanotubes and magnetic molecules are considered building blocks of future nanoelectronic systems. Their electric and mechanical properties play an important role. Researchers have now found a ... > full story -
Chemical Chameleon Tamed: Researchers Give Floppy Molecule a Structure Through Solvent Effects
March 14, 2013 How you get the chameleon of the molecules to settle on a particular "look" has been discovered by chemists in Germany. The molecule CH5+ is normally not to be described by a single rigid structure, ... > full story -
Electrons Behaving Like a Particle and a Wave: Feynman's Double-Slit Experiment Brought to Life
March 13, 2013 The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment -- a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave -- has been ... > full story
