Physicists at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (Germany) have succeeded in producing a Bose-Einstein condensate from the alkaline earth element calcium. The use of alkaline earth atoms creates new potential for precision measurements, for example for the determination of gravitational fields. http://www.physorg.com/news172824034.html Physics Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:42:14 EST news172824034 Berkeley Lab researchers have produced non-toxic magnesium oxide nanocrystals that efficiently emit blue light and could also play a role in long-term storage of carbon dioxide, a potential means of tempering the effects of global warming. http://www.physorg.com/news167417135.html Nanotechnology Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:46:09 EST news167417135 (PhysOrg.com) -- "There are a number of different proposals for quantum computing," Andrew Daley tells PhysOrg.com. "These include solid state or semiconductor as well as atomic and molecular systems. We are considering atomic systems, and more specifically alkaline earth metals." http://www.physorg.com/news145883039.html Physics Fri, 14 Nov 2008 11:03:59 EST news145883039
