These are microscope images of WGM microcavities fabricated by femtosecond laser 3-D processing.
Australian scientists design a full-scale architecture for a quantum computer in silicon
Scientists and engineers from the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T), headquartered at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), are leading the world in the race to develop a...
Physicists mimic quantum entanglement with laser pointer to double data speeds
Quantum entanglement is a phrase more likely to be heard on popular sci-fi television shows such as "Fringe" and "Doctor Who." Described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance," when two quantum things are entangled, if one is 'touched'...
Saturn's Geyser Moon Shines in Close Flyby Views
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has begun transmitting its latest images of Saturn's icy, geologically active moon Enceladus, acquired during the dramatic Oct. 28 flyby in which the probe passed about 30 miles (49 kilometers) above the moon's south polar...

Halloween Skies to Include Dead Comet Flyby
The large space rock that will zip past Earth this Halloween is most likely a dead comet that, fittingly, bears an eerie resemblance to a skull.
NASA's K2 Finds Dead Star Vaporizing a Mini 'Planet'
In this artist's conception, a tiny rocky object vaporizes as it orbits a white dwarf star. Astronomers have...
