Production Of High-fidelity Entangled Photons Exceeds 1 Million Per Second

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Like virtuosos tuning their violins, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have tuned their instruments and harmonized the production of entangled photons, pushing rates to more than 1 million pairs per second.

Okaaaay, I was going to check it out but.....now I wont.

And if you believe that....well, I've got a bridge to sell ya!

Quantum Computing, Secure Communication Closer

The UCLA team succeeded in flipping a single electron spin upside down in an ordinary commercial transistor chip, and detected that the current changes when the electron flips.

'Cool' Fuel Cells Could Revolutionize Earth's Energy Resources

HOUSTON, July 22, 2004 — As temperatures soar this summer, so do electric bills. Researchers at the University of Houston are striving toward decreasing those costs with the next revolution in power generation.

New Theory Links Neutrino's Slight Mass To Accelerating Universe Expansion

Two of the biggest physics breakthroughs during the last decade are the discovery that wispy subatomic particles called neutrinos actually have a small amount of mass and the detection that the expansion of the universe is actually picking up speed.

Now three University of Washington physicists are suggesting the two discoveries are integrally linked through one of the strangest features of the universe, dark energy, a linkage they say could be caused by a previously unrecognized subatomic particle they call the "acceleron."

And I've always wondered about those invisible microbes that cats chase around on the floor.

Physicists Discover Dramatic Difference In Behavior Of Matter Versus Antimatter

Today, physicists conducting the BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), a Department of Energy laboratory operated by Stanford University, announced exciting new results demonstrating a dramatic difference in the behavior of matter and antimatter.

(A difference in behavior between matter and antimatter? Now there's a difference that matters! (Well, somebody had to say that...))

Babar's a physicist now?

Certainly - and the best part? He works for peanuts!
