Yale scientists make 2 giant steps in advancement of quantum computing

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.

4. Stanford scientists make major breakthrough in regenerative medicine
   04-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Findings described in a new study by Stanford scientists may be the first step toward a major revolution in human regenerative medicine -- a future where advanced organ damage can be repaired by the body itself. In the May 2007 issue of The FASEB Journal, researchers show that a human evolutionary ancestor, the sea squirt, can correct abnormalities over a series of generations, suggesting that a similar regenerative process might be possible in people.

6. Optic flow: A step in the right direction
   11-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The way objects appear to stream by us as we move through the world is a phenomenon called optic flow. Think of the street signs and storefronts that sail across the car windshield as we drive. That's optic flow in action. Brown University cognitive scientists have now shown, in research to be featured on the cover of Current Biology, that optic flow plays a critical role in continuously recalibrating our steps as we walk.

7. Getting to the heart of the heart
   11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Helping to change scientists' thinking about how the heart is formed, investigators at Children's Hospital Boston have identified a type of stem cell that gives rise to at least two different cell types that make up the heart's tissues. The findings, to be published in the Dec. 15 Cell, bring researchers a step closer to being able to regenerate tissues to repair congenital heart defects in children and damage caused by heart attacks in adults.

9. Hidden Order Found in a Quantum Spin Liquid
   07-26-2007 · Brookhaven National Laboratory
   Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborating institutions around the world have detected a hidden "string order" that extends over a length of 30 nanometers (billionths of a meter) in a material that is otherwise apparently disordered. The findings could have implications for the design of materials at the nanoscale, including those used for a developing concept known as quantum computing.

10. Atoms under the mantle
    03-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
    French CNRS scientists have succeeded in modelling the defects of the earth’s mantle responsible for its deformation. These results, obtained using a novel approach which combines numerical calculus and quantum mechanics, constitute the first step towards modelling deformation of this layer and its effects on the mantle. They are published in the March 1st, 2007 issue of Nature.
