#Polymers can fine-tune attractions between suspended nanocubes

“#Polymers can fine-tune attractions between suspended nanocubes” Colloids are complex mixtures in which microscopic particles of one substance are suspended evenly throughout another. They can be prepared in many different ways, but to achieve desirable properties in the final mixture, researchers must maintain a delicate control over the interactions which take place between the particles….

#Is teleportation possible? Yes, in the quantum world

“#Is teleportation possible? Yes, in the quantum world” A quantum processor semiconductor chip is connected to a circuit board in the lab of John Nichol, an assistant professor of physics at the University of Rochester. Nichol and Andrew Jordan, a professor of physics, are exploring new ways of creating quantum-mechanical interactions between distant electrons, promising…
