This uses laser beams and magnetic fields to cool and guide about 10 billion rubidium-87 atoms at temperatures as low as 25 μK. Others will not lose energy (or will even gain energy)...
Credit: YMO/Tsinghua Researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing have recently used a technique called zero-kinetic energy photoelectron spectroscopy to obtain a list in unprecede...

Virginia Commonwealth University and University of Richmond researchers recently teamed up to explore the inner workings of cells and shed light on the 400–600 million years of evolu...
In quantum mechanics, symmetry describes more than just the patterns that matter takes—it is used to classify the nature of quantum states. Using a magnetic field, internal states of...
They have extremely long necks and two pairs of paddle-like limbs that they use to swim underwater. Picture the mythical Loch Ness monster and you have a pretty good idea what it loo...
Alexandria, Va. - It now appears that, of the many moons of Jupiter and Saturn, two of them may have oceans beneath their icy exteriors. ### For more on how scientists identified lu...
Members of conservationist group WWF Bulgaria release baby sturgeons in the Danube river, near the village of Vetren, northeastern Bulgaria Europe’s last wild sturgeons got a rare b...
The study of 142 isolated teeth from the Campanian-Maastrichtian of the South Pyrenean Basin suggests six additional species of toothed theropods (five small, one large) were present...
Not only do we see the community structure of these lizards has remained stable for 20 million years, it’s also difficult to tell some of these fossil lizards apart from those alive ...
The Government of India (GOI) has adopted a comprehensive and supportive open source policy. It is centered on three key areas: Digital Infrastructure as a Utility to Every Citizen ...

And in the comments on that video, ABitOfTheUniverse threw down, he wants to know what it would take to terraform Jupiter. The mass of the core is still a mystery, but recent compute...
In this post, let’s take a look at six open source CI server tools that you can use in your agile setup. Buildbot installation has one or more masters and a collection of slaves. You...
Pick a toolchain that leads from input to final docs consistently The key is that the tool needs to produce the output automatically and consistently. Always have translations in mi...
Alice would then interact the unknown quantum state with her half of the entangled particle, measure the combined quantum state and send the result through a classical channel to Bob...
This image was taken by turning an electron microscope on a laser-charged nanowire. Light moved down the wire in both directions, creating a standing wave of photons, which the elect...
The spin—a measure of the intrinsic angular momentum—can be thought of as an equivalent of the spin of a top. In the research published in Science, the team found that photons share ...
The core circuits of quantum teleportation, which generate and detect quantum entanglement, have been successfully integrated into a photonic chip by an international team of scienti...
In an atomic clock, electrons jumping from one orbit to another decides the clock’s frequency. To get the electrons to jump, researchers shine light on the atoms using stabilised las...
However, some quantum systems can be extremely sensitive to external magnetic fields, and this is why scientists believe that some birds could navigate by making quantum measurements...
Quantum criticality in proteins. In suggesting that biomolecules, or at least most of them, are quantum critical conductors, Kauffman and his group are claiming that their electronic...
The new theory could lead to faster and smaller electronic components, for which quantum tunneling is a significant factor. Professor Kheifets and Dr. Igor Ivanov, from the ANU Resea...
Connect the dots: the energy-harvesting device Two quantum dots have been used to generate an electrical current from voltage noise. However, team member Fabian Hartmann explains th...
Caught in a loop: has time travel been simulated? They say they have prepared photons that behave as if they are travelling along short cuts in space–time known as “closed time-like ...
