(PhysOrg.com) -- For the first time, scientists have successfully operated a quantum gate between two remote particles of matter, marking an important step toward the development of a quantum computer. In previous experiments, researchers have used photons, which are difficult to store. Using matter qubits enables the researchers to store the obtained quantum information, opening up new possibilities for the generation of remote networks of entangled qubits. http://www.physorg.com/news165836423.html Physics Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:40:56 EST news165836423 Less than two weeks before President Barack Obama's visit to Moscow, the United States and Russia cannot agree how to counter the growing threat of cyberwar attacks that could wreak havoc on computer systems and the Internet, according to The New York Times. http://www.physorg.com/news165386409.html Technology Sun, 28 Jun 2009 05:40:57 EST news165386409 (PhysOrg.com) -- The last tests of the Ariane 5 rocket system have been finished and ESA's Planck satellite is sitting ready for launch at the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou. Together with ESA's space telescope Herschel, Planck will lift off into space on 14 May to begin its studies of the cosmic microwave radiation and of the clues it gives about the Big Bang, the earliest phases of the cosmic history, and the structure and composition of the Universe. The Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA) in Garching has developed important software components for Planck and is getting ready to participate in the analysis and scientific interpretation of the mission data. http://www.physorg.com/news161272207.html Space & Earth Mon, 11 May 2009 14:51:14 EST news161272207 (PhysOrg.com) -- Astronomers have found the most distant signs of water in the Universe to date. Dr John McKean of the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON) will be presenting the discovery at the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science in Hatfield on Wednesday 22nd April. http://www.physorg.com/news159636334.html Space & Earth Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:26:09 EST news159636334 (PhysOrg.com) -- The most accurate timekeepers in the world are atomic clocks, which tell time based on the absorption of a very specific and unchanging microwave frequency, which induces electrons in an atom to `jump` from one particular energy level to another. But to improve atomic clocks further, a new basis is needed. http://www.physorg.com/news159624756.html Physics Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:13:10 EST news159624756 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at North Carolina State University have discovered a new method for "switching on" enzymatic reactions with precise energy delivery: by using microwave radiation. http://www.physorg.com/news135962124.html Chemistry Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:15:24 EST news135962124
