Engineers solve energy puzzle: How energy levels align in a critical group of advanced materials

Posted: 06 Nov 2011 12:10 PM PST

Materials science and engineering researchers have demonstrated for the first time the key mechanism behind how energy levels align in a critical group of advanced materials. This discovery is a significant breakthrough in the development of sustainable technologies such as dye-sensitized solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes.

Not one, not two, not three, but four clones: First quantum cloning machine to produce four copies

Posted: 06 Nov 2011 12:07 PM PST

Scientists in China have produced a theory for a quantum cloning machine able to produce several copies of the state of a particle at atomic or sub-atomic scale, or quantum state. The advance could have implications for quantum information processing methods used, for example, in message encryption systems.

Volunteers end simulated mission to Mars

Posted: 06 Nov 2011 11:20 AM PST

The record-breaking simulated mission to Mars has ended with smiling faces after 17 months. Mars500's six brave volunteers stepped out of their 'spacecraft' Nov. 4, 2011 to be welcomed by the waiting scientists -- happy that the venture had worked even better than expected. Mars500, the first full-length, high-fidelity simulation of a human mission to our neighbouring planet, started 520 days earlier, on 3 June 2010, at the Institute of Biomedical Problems in Moscow.
