To exploit the quantum world to the fullest, a key commodity is entanglement—the spooky, distance-defying link that can form between objects such as atoms even when they are completely shielded from one another. Now, physicists at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), a collaborative organization of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland, have developed a promising new source of entangled photons using quantum dots tweaked with a laser.
If you're watching the complex processes in a living cell, it is easy to miss something important—especially if you are watching changes that take a long time to unfold and require high-spatial-resolution imaging
In an advance with overtones of Star Trek phasers and other sci-fi ray guns, scientists in Canada are reporting development of an internal on-off "switch" that paralyzes animals when exposed to a beam of ultraviolet light. The animals stay paralyzed even when the light is turned off. When exposed to ordinary light, the animals become unparalyzed and wake up. Their study appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). It reports the first demonstration of such a light-activated switch in animals.

Green-display technology, awareness, regulations and labelling have accelerated greatly in the last year, and technical advances are rapidly reducing power consumption. Regulatory requirements (such as RoHS and CEC) and voluntary labelling programs (such as Energy Star, EPEAT, and TCO) are changing the playing field on which displays and display products are designed, manufactured, marketed, and sold in fundamental ways. Recycling efforts are expanding rapidly for e-waste - and displays are a key element of this waste stream.
