| NASA launches satellite to study how sun's atmosphere is energized Posted: 28 Jun 2013 11:48 AM PDT NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) spacecraft launched Thursday at 7:27 p.m. PDT (10:27 p.m. EDT) from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The mission to study the solar atmosphere was placed in orbit by an Orbital Sciences Corporation Pegasus XL rocket.  |
| Large-scale quantum chip validated: Prototype quantum optimization chip operates as hoped Posted: 28 Jun 2013 10:10 AM PDT A team of scientists has verified that quantum effects are indeed at play in the first commercial quantum optimization processor.  |
| Microscopy technique could help computer industry develop 3-D components Posted: 28 Jun 2013 10:10 AM PDT A technique developed several years ago at NIST for improving optical microscopes now has been applied to monitoring the next generation of computer chip circuit components, potentially providing the semiconductor industry with a crucial tool for improving chips for the next decade or more.  |
| Tiny nanocubes help scientists tell left from right Posted: 28 Jun 2013 07:29 AM PDT A team of scientists has developed a new, simpler way to discern molecular handedness, known as chirality, which could improve drug development, optical sensors and more.  |
| New system uses low-power Wi-Fi signal to track moving humans -- even behind walls Posted: 28 Jun 2013 06:21 AM PDT A system being developed at MIT could give all of us the ability to spot people in different rooms using low-cost Wi-Fi technology.  |
| Complex activity patterns emerge from simple underlying laws, ant experiments show Posted: 28 Jun 2013 06:19 AM PDT A new study uses mathematical modeling and experiments on ants to show that a group is capable of developing flexible resource management strategies and characteristic responses of its own.  |
| Posted: 27 Jun 2013 09:53 AM PDT For the first time, a team of researchers has managed to observe growth of high-efficiency chalcopyrite thin film solar cells in real time and to study the formation and degradation of defects that compromise efficiency. To this end, the scientists set up a novel measuring chamber at the Berlin electron storage ring BESSY II, which allows them to combine several different kinds of measuring techniques.  |
