 Physicists Build a Quantum Gambling MachineQuantum gambling machines may not be popping up at futuristic casinos any time soon, but the devices could have other uses – such as enabling physicists to study game theory in situations where cheating is ... |
Looking at neurons from all sidesA new technique that marries a fast-moving laser beam with a special microscope that look at tissues in different optical planes will enable scientists to get a three-dimensional view of neurons or nerve cells as they interact, ... |
 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. |
Measurement precision beats standard quantum limitFor physicists, measuring the precise magnitude of a physical quantity is a key to understanding quantum mechanics. However, there is a limit to how precise a measurement can be made, which is governed by quantum mechanical ... |
Can three-photon absorption lead to better bio-imaging?One of the more interesting concepts being looked at in terms of quantum chemistry is that of three-photon absorption (3PA). 3PA works when three photons are simultaneously absorbed in one event. Because three photon absorption ... |
Scientists discover how nanocluster contaminants increase risk of spreadingFor almost half a century, scientists have struggled with plutonium contamination spreading further in groundwater than expected, increasing the risk of sickness in humans and animals. |
 Computer Science Fog Machine Improves Computer GraphicsUC San Diego computer scientists have created a fog and smoke machine for computer graphics that cuts the computational cost of making realistic smoky and foggy 3-D images, such as beams of light from a lighthouse ... |
Disturbances in brain circuitry linked to chronic exposure to solventsChronic occupational exposure to organic solvents, found in materials such as paints, printing and dry cleaning agents, is widespread all over the world, and is thought to damage the central nervous system. The pattern of ... |
Argonne scientists develop techniques for creating molecular moviesThey may never win an Oscar, but scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed techniques for creating accurate movies of biological and chemical molecules, a feat only theorized ... |
 World's shortest single photon pulse createdThe world’s shortest light pulse containing just one photon has been produced by Oxford University scientists. |
Entanglement on demandOne of the problems in quantum information processing is inefficiency. Photon entanglement is generally considered a leading candidate for quantum computing (it is used for teleportation and cryptography), but right now it ... |
 T-REX is monster light source with multiple applicationsWhen it comes to laser-based light sources, there are few brighter than T-REX, an LLNL project developed jointly by the NIF & Photon Science Principle Directorate and the Physical Sciences Directorate. |
 Bon MOT: Innovative atom trap catches highly magnetic atomsA research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Maryland has succeeded in cooling atoms of a rare-earth element, erbium, to within two millionths of a degree of ... |
The future of computing -- carbon nanotubes and superconductors to replace the silicon chipThe future of computing is under the spotlight at the Institute of Physics’ Condensed Matter and Materials Physics conference at the Royal Holloway College of the University of London on 26-28 March. |
'Superdense' coding gets denserThe record for the most amount of information sent by a single photon has been broken by researchers at the University of Illinois. Using the direction of “wiggling” and “twisting” of a pair of hyper-entangled photons, they ... |
