On the road to fault-tolerant quantum computing: High temperature superconductivity in a toplogical insulator

more »

Reliable quantum computing would make it possible to solve certain types of extremely complex technological problems millions of times faster than today's most powerful supercomputers. Other types of problems that quantum computing could tackle would not even be feasible with today's fastest machines. The key word is "reliable." If the enormous potential of quantum computing is to be fully realized, scientists must learn to create "fault-tolerant" quantum computers. A small but important step toward this goal has been achieved by an international collaboration of researchers from China's Tsinghua University and the DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) working at the Advanced Light Source (ALS).

Invention jet prints nanostructures with self-assembling material

more »

A multi-institutional team of engineers has developed a new approach to the fabrication of nanostructures for the semiconductor and magnetic storage industries. This approach combines top-down advanced ink-jet printing technology with a bottom-up approach that involves self-assembling block copolymers, a type of material that can spontaneously form ultrafine structures.

Tadpole Nebula Auriga Constellation Wall Stickers

Here's a great wall decal featuring a beautiful image from deep space

what do you think of this one? I bumped into it and thought it was cool. By HightonRidley,

Tadpole Nebula Auriga Constellation Wall Stickers

tagged with: star forming activity, awesome astronomy images, tnitac, tadpole nebula, auriga constellation, new born stars, interstellar dust clouds, hot young stars, star nursery

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series An awesome outer space picture featuring the Tadpole Nebula, a star forming hub located about 12000 light years away in the Auriga constellation.
This nebula is brimming with new-born stars, many as young as only a million years of age. It's called the Tadpole nebula because the masses of hot, young stars are blasting out ultraviolet radiation that has etched the gas into two tadpole-shaped pillars, called Sim 129 and130, the yellow forms that seem to be swimming away from the three red stars close to the centre of the picture.

Graphene photodetector integrated into computer chip

more »

Today, most information is transmitted by light – for example in optical fibers. Computer chips, however, work electronically. Somewhere between the optical data highway and the electronic chips, photons have to be converted into electrons using light-detectors. Scientists have now managed to combine a graphene photodetector with a standard silicon chip. It can transform light of all important frequencies used in telecommunications into electrical signals.

Astronomers have for the first time found a jet of high-energy particles emanating from a dying star. The discovery is a crucial step in explaining how some of the most beautiful objects in space are formed – and what happens when stars like the sun reach the end of their lives.

On 30 September, CERN is organizing a "Bosons & More” party to celebrate the performance and the discoveries of the Large Hadron Collider. The Orchestre de la Suisse Romande which be performing with a 120-strong choir at the party, as will the Alan Parsons Live Project. The evening is primarily for CERN personnel and users, but 500 places will be allocated to members of the public through a lottery.
