- NIST physicists boost 'entanglement' of atom pairs
10-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
Physicists at NIST have taken a significant step toward transforming entanglement -- an atomic-scale phenomenon described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance" -- into a practical tool. They demonstrated a method for refining entangled atom pairs, a process called purification, so they can be more useful in quantum computers and communications systems, emerging technologies that exploit the unusual rules of quantum physics for pioneering applications such as "unbreakable" data encryption.

- Yale scientists make 2 giant steps in advancement of quantum computing
09-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Two major steps toward putting quantum computers into real practice -- sending a photon signal on demand from a qubit onto wires and transmitting the signal to a second, distant qubit -- have been brought about by a team of scientists at Yale. The accomplishments are reported in sequential issues of Nature on Sept. 20 and Sept. 27, on which it is highlighted as the cover.

- International effort takes critical steps to accelerate growth of global biofuels market
02-01-2008 · EurekAlert!
Led by the world's three major producers of biofuels, an international effort seeks to harmonize standards for bioethanol and biodiesel, two key renewable energy sources and important commodities in the global marketplace. A report identifying standards differences is the first step. Next is for the US and Brazilian national measurement labs to address those differences and work toward worldwide compatibility of biofuels standards.
