How To Herd Atoms: Researchers Observe Self-organization Of Atoms In Circular Atomic Pens Science Daily
Max Planck researchers in Halle observe self-organization of atoms in circular atomic pens.
How to herd atoms PhysOrg
It has long been known that it is possible to confine electrons or atoms in atomic structures in the same way as sheep can be shut in a pen. Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics in Halle have now discovered a strange thing: if the atomic fences have the right shape and the substrate, temperature and other parameters are adjusted appropriately, then randomly
Strontium Atomic Clock Demonstrates Super-fine 'Ticks' Science Daily
Using an ultra-stable laser to manipulate strontium atoms trapped in a "lattice" made of light, scientists at JILA (a joint institute of NIST and the University of Colorado at Boulder) have demonstrated the capability to produce the most precise "ticks" ever recorded in an optical atomic clock--techniques that may be useful in time keeping, precision measurements of high frequencies, and quantum
Magnetic Needles Turn Somersaults: Researchers Discover New Possibilities For Magnetic Storage Science Daily
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Metals Research in Stuttgart have discovered a new mechanism with which it is possible to use weak magnetic fields to reverse tiny magnetic structures, called vortex cores, quickly and with no losses. Up until now, very strong magnetic fields have been necessary to accomplish this, requiring highly complex technology. The new method might open up new
Yvonne Yamanaka '08 Duke University
Yvonne Yamanaka made an early discovery at Duke – faculty members are quite accessible. “A few weeks after beginning my freshman year at Duke I e-mailed a professor in the chemistry department to ask if I could get involved in the research that his lab was doing,” she says.

Nearly Unbreakable: Novel Nanoscale Construction Principle Prevents Bones From Breaking At Science Daily
Max Planck Scientists discover a novel construction principle at the nanoscale which prevents bones from breaking at excessive force.
Ultra-intense Laser Blast Creates True 'Black Metal' Science Daily
"Black gold" is not just an expression anymore. Scientists at the University of Rochester have created a way to change the properties of almost any metal to render it, literally, black. The process, using an incredibly intense burst of laser light, holds the promise of making everything from fuel cells to a space telescope's detectors more efficient -- not to mention turning your car into the
On The Cutting Edge: Carbon Nanotube Cutlery Science Daily
Researchers at NIST and the University of Colorado at Boulder have designed a prototype carbon nanotube "knife" that would work like a tight-wire cheese slicer for cutting cells, allowing scientists to study them more precisely than they can today.
