Outside the small village of Meyrin, Switzerland, horses graze quietly in fields lined by the Jura mountains. You
A researcher at the Large Hadron Collider has turned data from the massive atom smasher into sound. She has two main goals: Create a new way to analyze and study the data, and get non-scientists interested in the research.

MIT is pushing the boundaries of the 3D printing technology (3DP) it helped pioneer nearly two decades ago. 3DP printers build 3D solid objects by
A startup called Bitcasa has developed a small piece of software that, when you install it, makes the capacity of your computer
Researchers led by ETH Zurich professor Yaakov Benenson and MIT professor Ron Weiss have incorporated a diagnostic biological “computer” network in
École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) physicists have developed a new theory that shows that dot symmetry in quantum dots (semiconductors that
The days of waiting for smartphones to upload video may be numbered. Rice University engineering researchers have made a breakthrough that could allow wireless phone companies to double throughput on their networks without adding a single cell tower.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have reached a crucial milestone that could lead to a new class of materials with useful electronic properties. In research reported in the Sept. 5 issue of Nature Physics, the team sandwiched two nonmagnetic insulators together and discovered a startling result: The layer where the two materials meet has both magnetic and superconducting regions – two properties that normally can’t co-exist.
Physicists in Austria have come considerably closer to their goal to investigate complex phenomena in a model system: They have developed a digital, and therefore, universal quantum simulator in their laboratory, which can, in principle, simulate any physical system efficiently.
