New Results Indicate That Particle Discovered at CERN Is a Higgs Boson
March 14, 2013 — Scientists working with CERN's Large Hadron Collider have presented preliminary new results that further elucidate the particle discovered last year. Having analyzed two and a half times more data ... > full storyMore: -
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 -
Life in the Universe: Foundations of Carbon-Based Life Leave Little Room for Error
March 13, 2013 — Life as we know it is based upon the elements of carbon and oxygen. Now a team of physicists is looking at the conditions necessary to the formation of those two elements in the universe. They've ... > full story -
Mechanical Micro-Drum Used as Quantum Memory
March 13, 2013 — Researchers have demonstrated that information encoded as a specific point in a traveling microwave signal -- the vertical and horizontal positions of a wave pattern at a certain time -- can be ... > full story -
Surprising Control Over Photoelectrons from a Topological Insulator
March 13, 2013 — Electrons flowing swiftly across the surface of topological insulators (TIs) are "spin polarized," their spin and momentum locked. The potential to control electron distribution in spintronic devices ... > full story -
Quantum Magnets Moving Along: Scientists Observes Coherent Propagation of a Single Spin Impurity in a Chain of Ultracold Atoms
March 13, 2013 — Many discoveries in physics came as a big surprise -- for example the phenomenon, that some materials loose almost all their electrical resistance at low temperatures, or that others become ... > full story -
Quantum Refrigerator Offers Extreme Cooling and Convenience
March 8, 2013 — Researchers have demonstrated a solid-state refrigerator that uses quantum physics in micro- and nanostructures to cool a much larger object to extremely low temperatures. What's more, the prototype ... > full story -
The Future of Ion Traps: Technology Will Continue to Be Leader in Development of Quantum Computing Architectures
March 7, 2013 — Scientists speculate on ion trap technology as a scalable option for quantum information ... > full storyMore: -
Engineering Breakthrough Promises Significantly More Efficient Solar Cells
March 7, 2013 — A new technique could lead to significantly more efficient solar cells. Quantum dot photovoltaics offers the potential for low-cost, large-area solar power -- however these devices are not yet highly ... > full story
