 Quantum computers take step toward practicality with demonstration of new deviceComputers based on the powerful properties of quantum mechanics have the potential to revolutionize information technology and security, but for decades they have remained more theoretical than practical, ... |
Researchers demonstrate for the first time how light squeezes through small holesHow does light pass through a tiny hole" For the first time, Dr Aurele Adam and Prof. Paul Planken of Delft University of Technology, in conjunction with two South Korean and one German research groups, have succeeded in ... |
 A 'squeeze' in cuprates may explain superconducting temperaturesNew experiments at Cornell have verified a theory that variations in the distance between atoms in cuprate superconductors account for differences in the temperature at which the material begins to superconduct. ... |
 NTT Introduces Commercial RedTaction 'Firmo' Security DeviceNTT has developed a means to harness the Human Area Network to create Firmo. Firmo utilizes RedTaction which is a human body communication technology. It uses the surface of the human body as a transmission ... |
Children more vulnerable to harmful effects of leadContrary to prevailing assumptions, children are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of lead exposure at the age of 6 than they are in early childhood, according to a Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center study ... |
 Spiraling nanotrees offer new twist on growth of nanowiresSince scientists first learned to make nanowires, the nano-sized wires just a few millionths of a centimeter thick have taken many forms, including nanobelts, nanocoils and nanoflowers. |
 Graphene-based gadgets may be just years awayResearchers at The University of Manchester have produced tiny liquid crystal devices with electrodes made from graphene – an exciting development that could lead to computer and TV displays based on this ... |
 Simulations may explain nanoparticles 'pinned' to grapheneIt was hard to understand how a graphene sheet — a featureless, flat sheet of carbon atoms — lying on an equally featureless iridium surface, somehow converted itself into a kind of muffin tin that formed ... |
 Study Captures Brain's Activity Processing SpeechRad, Lad. You might be able to hear the difference, but to many children and adults, these words sound exactly the same. The problem isn’t that they can’t hear the sounds. The problem is that they ... |
 Scientists discover exotic quantum state of matterA team of scientists from Princeton University has found that one of the most intriguing phenomena in condensed-matter physics -- known as the quantum Hall effect -- can occur in nature in a way that no one ... |
European light research opens door for optical storage and computingThe goal of replacing electronics with optics for processing data in computers is coming closer through cutting edge European research into the mysterious properties of “fast and slow” light. The long term aim is to boost ... |
 Researchers reveal structure of protein that repairs damage to cancer cellsA team of University of Chicago scientists has shown how two proteins locate and repair damaged genetic material inside cells. |
Nanotubes grown straight in large numbersDuke University chemists have found a way to grow long, straight cylinders only a few atoms thick in very large numbers, removing a major roadblock in the pursuit of nano-scale electronics. |
 Nanobacteria – Are They Alive?Tiny particles called nanobacteria have intrigued researchers in many ways since their discovery 20 years ago, but perhaps the most controversial question they pose is whether or not they are alive. |
First-class protein crystals thanks to weightlessness on earthDutch chemist Paul Poodt has developed two attractive alternatives for allowing protein crystals to grow under weightless conditions. If the crystals are grown upside down in a strong magnetic field, fluid flows that disrupt ... |
