Moving a Step Closer with the Demonstration of an 'Entanglement' Filter

A team of physicists and engineers has demonstrated an optical device that filters two particles of light (or photons) based on the correlations between their polarisation that are only allowed in the seemingly bizarre q...

New Theoretical Analysis Could Help Design Better Microlasers

Tiny disk-shaped lasers as small as a speck of dust could one day beam information through optical computers. Unfortunately, a perfect disk will spray light out, not as a beam, but in all directions. New theoretical resu...

Researchers Investigate Whether Laser Printers Emit Pathogenic Toner Particles into the Air

Could the humble laser printer be responsible for poor health among office workers? These printers, it has been said, could be to blame for the release of tiny particles of toner-like material into the air. These particles would then be inhaled by consumers deep into their lungs, triggering health-related problems. Now scientists investigating this preconception have come up with surprising results.

Achievement Paves Way for Manufacturing Reliable Electronic Nanocircuits at the Nanoscale

After announcing last April a method for growing exceptionally long, straight, numerous and well-aligned carbon cylinders only a few atoms thick, a Duke University-led team of chemists has now modified that process to create exclusively semiconducting versions of these single-walled carbon nanotubes.
