1. Entanglement Unties A Tough Quantum Computing Problem
   09-30-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Error correction coding is a fundamental process that underlies all of information science, but the task of adapting classical codes to quantum computing has long bumped up against what seemed to be a fundamental limitation. But a new approach by three theorists working at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering dramatically changes the rules of the game. Adding entangled photons as part of the message stream, they report in Science, opens the door to use of the entire error coding playbook.

4. MIT's assistive robot adapts to people, new places
   04-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In the futuristic cartoon series "The Jetsons," a robotic maid named Rosie whizzed around the Jetsons' home doing household chores -- cleaning, cooking dinner and washing dishes. Such a vision of robotic housekeeping is likely decades away from becoming reality. But at MIT, researchers are working on a very early version of such intelligent, robotic helpers -- a humanoid called Domo who grasp objects and place them on shelves or counters.
