| Laser light used to cool object to quantum ground state Posted: 05 Oct 2011 10:16 AM PDT For the first time, researchers have managed to cool a miniature mechanical object to its lowest possible energy state using laser light. The achievement paves the way for the development of exquisitely sensitive detectors as well as for quantum experiments that scientists have long dreamed of conducting.  |
| Monkeys 'move and feel' virtual objects using only their brains Posted: 05 Oct 2011 10:16 AM PDT In a first ever demonstration of a two-way interaction between a primate brain and a virtual body, two trained monkeys learned to employ brain activity alone to move an avatar hand and identify the texture of virtual objects.  |
| New technique offers enhanced security for sensitive data in cloud computing Posted: 05 Oct 2011 08:09 AM PDT Researchers have developed a new, experimental technique to better protect sensitive information in cloud computing -- without significantly affecting the system's overall performance.  |
| Most ancient supernovas discovered Posted: 05 Oct 2011 06:04 AM PDT Astronomers have just discovered 12 of the most distant and ancient supernovas ever seen, 10 of them in a part of the sky called the Subaru Deep Field.  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2011 05:02 AM PDT The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is awarding the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2011 to Daniel Shechtman for the discovery of quasicrystals: non-repeating regular patterns of atoms that were once thought to be impossible. The breakthrough has fundamentally altered how chemists conceive of solid matter.  |
