Scientists Create First Free-Standing 3-D Cloak
Posted on January 27, 2012 at 07:48:44 am
Researchers in the US have, for the first time, cloaked a three-dimensional object standing in free space, bringing the much-talked-about invisibility cloak one step closer to reality.

Scientists Create First Atomic X-Ray Laser
Posted on January 26, 2012 at 08:31:05 am
Scientists working at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have created the shortest, purest X-ray laser pulses ever achieved, fulfilling a 45-year-old prediction and opening the door to a new range of scientific disc

Cooling Semiconductors by Laser Light
Posted on January 23, 2012 at 08:54:31 am
Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have combined two fields -- quantum physics and nano physics -- and this has led to the discovery of a new method for laser cooling semiconductor membranes

Researcher Nears Creation of Superlens
Posted on January 20, 2012 at 08:15:14 am
A superlens would let you see a virus in a drop of blood and open the door to better and cheaper electronics. It might, says Durdu Guney, make ultra-high-resolution microscopes as commonplace as cameras in our cell phones

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 08:08:36 am
Scientists from IBM and the German Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) have built the world's smallest magnetic data storage unit

Multi-Purpose Photonic Chip Paves the Way to Programmable Quantum Processors
Posted on December 12, 2011 at 10:19:57 am
A multi-purpose optical chip which generates, manipulates and measures entanglement and mixture -- two quantum phenomena which are essential driving forces for tomorrow's quantum computers has been developed

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 05:20:18 pm
A team of researchers have developed the world's lightest material -- with a density of 0.9 mg/cc -- about one hundred times lighter than Styrofoam™.

Super-Black Material Opens New Frontiers
Posted on November 09, 2011 at 10:30:30 am
NASA engineers have produced a material that absorbs on average more than 99 percent of the ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and far-infrared light that hits it -- a development that promises to open new frontiers in space technology

New Hybrid Technology Could Bring 'Quantum Information Systems'
Posted on October 31, 2011 at 09:34:03 am
The merging of two technologies under development -- plasmonics and nanophotonics -- is promising the emergence of new "quantum information systems" far more powerful than today's computers

New Radar Sees Through Solid Walls
Posted on October 19, 2011 at 09:26:21 am
The ability to see through walls is no longer the stuff of science fiction, thanks to new radar technology developed at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory
