Discovery brings new type of fast computers closer to reality
Saturday, 26 Sep, 2009 – 1:17 | No Comment

Physicists at UC San Diego have created a successful rapid integration of circuits particles called “excitons” commercially operating in cold temperatures, so the possibility of a new type of extremely fast computer based on excitons closer to reality.
Their discovery, detailed this week in the advance online edition of the journal Nature Photonics, following the demonstration [...]

Prototype developed to detect dark matter
Friday, 25 Sep, 2009 – 22:00 | No Comment

A team of researchers at the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR, Spain) and the Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS, France) has developed a brilliant bolometer, a device that scientists use in efforts to detect dark matter of the universe, and has been tested in the Underground Laboratory Canfranc in Huesca, Spain.
“One of the biggest challenges in physics [...]

German scientists produce first Bose-Einstein condensate with calcium atoms
Tuesday, 22 Sep, 2009 – 22:00 | No Comment

Like a giant wave in a sea of gaseous calcium atoms, the Bose-Einstein condensate rises. It consists of approx. 20 000 atoms that are not normally visible to the human eye. However, the waves describing the quantum mechanics of atoms, all oscillate synchronously in the condensate and accumulate to form a dense tidal wave. Thus, [...]

Diamonds May Be the Ultimate MRI Probe, Say Quantum Physicists
Tuesday, 22 Sep, 2009 – 17:11 | No Comment

A nitrogen vacancy (small circles) within a diamond crystal is promising as a little ‘for quantum computers, in part due to its high sensitivity to magnetic fields, a sensibility that could also allow the RM-like studies objects as small as individual molecules or living cells. When the green light hits the nitrogen vacancy, which emits [...]
