Memoirs of a qubit: Hybrid memory solves key problem for quantum computing
(27 Oct 2008)
An international team of scientists has performed the ultimate miniaturisation of computer memory: storing information inside the nucleus of an atom. This breakthrough is a key step in bringing to life a quantum computer - a device based on the ...

Engineering nanoparticles for maximum strength
(23 Oct 2008)
Because they are riddled with defects, bulk crystalline materials never achieve their ideal strength; nanocrystals, on the other hand, are so small there's no room for defects. Yet while nanocrystalline materials may approach ideal strength in their ...

Scientists determine strength of 'liquid smoke'
(31 Jul 2008)
Researchers have created a 3D image of a material referred to as "liquid smoke." Aerogel, also known as liquid smoke or "San Francisco fog," is an open-cell polymer with pores smaller than 50 nanometers in diameter. For the first time, Lawrence ...

Smaller is Stronger - Now Scientists Know Why
(07 Jan 2008)
As structures made of metal get smaller - as their dimensions approach the micrometer scale or less - they get stronger. Scientists discovered this phenomenon 50 years ago while measuring the strength of tin "whiskers" a few micrometers in diameter ...
