Quantum leap in lasers brightens future for quantum computing Posted: 22 Jul 2014 10:07 AM PDT Scientists have devised a breakthrough laser that uses a single artificial atom to generate and emit particles of light. The laser may play a crucial role in the development of quantum computers, which are predicted to eventually outperform today's most powerful supercomputers.

'Comb on a chip' powers new atomic clock design Posted: 22 Jul 2014 08:19 AM PDT Researchers have demonstrated a novel design for a small atomic clock that is based on a chip-scale frequency comb, or a microcomb.

A new multi-bit 'spin' for magnetic random access memory storage Posted: 22 Jul 2014 08:14 AM PDT Interest in magnetic random access memory (MRAM) is escalating, thanks to demand for fast, low-cost, nonvolatile, low-consumption, secure memory devices. MRAM boasts all of these advantages as an emerging technology, but so far it hasn't been able to match flash memory in terms of storage density. A research team reports an intriguing new multi-bit MRAM storage paradigm with the potential to rival flash memory.

High-precision software developed for diagnosing eye sensitivity Posted: 22 Jul 2014 06:14 AM PDT High-precision software for diagnosing eye sensitivity has been developed by researchers. This is a new technology that allows to quantify the degree of opacity in the posterior capsule of the eye caused by the growth of cells in the intraocular lens.

Computer privacy: Share button may share your browsing history, too Posted: 22 Jul 2014 06:14 AM PDT One in 18 of the world's top 100,000 websites track users without their consent using a previously undetected cookie-like tracking mechanism embedded in 'share' buttons. The researchers traced 95 percent of canvas fingerprinting scripts back to a single company.

Connection between human translation and computerized translation programs Posted: 17 Jul 2014 06:46 AM PDT A number of new discoveries relating to the unique linguistic features of text that has been translated by a person that can significantly improve the capabilities of computerized translation programs, research shows.
