Making a leap in quantum computing

Computers & Peripherals, Feb 8

A Princeton Univ. researcher has demonstrated a method that alters the properties of a lone electron without disturbing the trillions of electrons in its immediate surroundings. The feat is essential to the development of future varieties of superfast computers with near-limitless capacities for data.

Was Mendel Darwin’s Missed Opportunity?

Was Mendel Darwin’s Missed Opportunity?

Feb 8

The editors at Wired Magazine have pointed out that today is the anniversary of Gregor Mendel's presentation of a painstakingly produced paper about his breeding experiments on some 28,000 pea plants. It's too bad that Charles Darwin, who was sent a copy in 1866, never bothered to read it.

Fractal patterns may be key to semiconductor magnetism

Fractal patterns may be key to semiconductor magnetism

5 hours ago

A Princeton-led team of scientists has observed electrons in a semiconductor on the brink of the metal-insulator transition for the first time. Caught in the act, the electrons formed complex patterns resembling those seen in turbulent fluids, confirming some long-held predictions and providing new insights into how semiconductors can be turned into magnets.
