Entangled diamonds.
It’s, Ars Technica explains, a quantum thing – but looking bigger: Normally, two particles that can be described using separate mathematical descriptions. But, under certain […]

Did they just find the God Particle? (Answer…)
…Probably. And now, they know where to look the next time they fire up the big collider – in the 124 to 126 GeV (gigaelectron […]
Did they just find the God Particle?
On the BBC, a CERN physicist just dramatically announced that they’ve found the Higgs boson… maybe: The two teams of scientists work independently, using two […]

Science Daily points the way for the next information revolution. Not using electrons, but light itself: The merging of two technologies under development — plasmonics […]
Violin and quanta.
New Scientist listens to the art of subatomic particles: The performance is the brainchild of composer and computer scientist Alexis Kirke from the University of […]
Quantum eyes.
Migrating robins have something better than magnets in their heads, Wired reports. They’ve got quantum sensors in their eyes: European robins may maintain quantum entanglement […]
Subatomic sound.
NPR takes us on an audio tour of the Large Hadron Collider with a physicist who’s translating subatomic particles into sounds: “I have some musician […]

A tiny Golden Mean.
Science Daily looks at the hidden symmetry lying inside all things where we can’t see it: Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie […]
Every circle is alive.
This sounds awfully New Agey for Yale, but apparently, physicists there have discovered that metal circles have a tiny amount of persistent energy flowing through […]
We can see electrons.
Or, well, their valences, which is as good as it gets without Heisenberg getting in the way. Yeah, the Corante Pipeline has a post describing […]
I’ve been saying it all along.
This science comic tells the truth. They do, you know.
