To better understand the fundamental behavior of molecules at surfaces, researchers are combining the powers of neutron scattering with chemical analysis.

Ten-second dance of electrons is step toward exotic new computers

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 11:52 AM PST

Scientists have achieved a 100-fold increase in the ability to maintain control the spins of electrons in a solid material, a key step in the development of ultrafast quantum computers.

The perfect liquid -- now even more perfect

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 11:35 AM PST

How liquid can a fluid be? This is a question particle physicists have been working on. The "most perfect liquid" is nothing like water, but the extremely hot quark-gluon-plasma which is produced in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. New theoretical results show that this quark-gluon plasma could be even less viscous than was deemed possible by previous theories.
