Diamonds ‘entangled’ in physics feat
Written by Aaron Rowe – CNN By zapping diamonds with an enormous number of laser beam pulses, physics researchers have created several cases of what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance.” A team of scientists showed that two diamonds can entangle with one another, meaning that vibrations in one of the crystals share an invisible, long-range connection with vibrations … Read More
Quantum Levitation
Tel-Aviv University demos quantum superconductors locked in a magnetic field (www.quantumlevitation.com). For an explanation of the physics behind this demonstration, visit here. With the theme “Knowledge that Works: From Theory to Practice,” the 2011 ASTC Annual Conference featured more than 100 sessions, which highlighted how science centers and museums are putting new ideas to practical use to serve their communities. … Read More
