Quantum computing gets a boost from new form of light
WASHINGTON DC: It is possible to create a new form of light by binding light to a single electron, combining the properties of both, according to a recent study. Scientists from Imperial College London showed that the coupled light and electron would have properties that could lead to circuits that work with packages of light - photons - instead of electrons. It would also allow researchers to study quantum physical phenomena, which govern particles smaller than atoms, on..>> view originalFirst map of thawing under Greenland ice
NASA said on August 3, 2016 that its researchers have helped produce a first-of-its-kind map showing where the Greenland ice sheet is likely thawed at its base. The thawing comes in part from Earth’s heat and affects how fast the ice flows to the sea. The Journal of Geophysical Research – Earth Surface published the new study last month. How can we know what’s happening under Greenland’s ice? The sparse direct observations available come from through fewer than two dozen boreholes that have r..>> view originalTruro Beaches Reopen After Being Closed Due to Shark Sightings
COURTESY OF THE CENTER FOR COASTAL STUDIES TRURO – Three Truro beaches reopened to swimming Saturday after they were closed due to the presence of six great white sharks feedig on a deceased whale carcass near Noons Landing. Noons Landing, Beach Point and Cold Storage beaches were are all closed to swimming on Friday. Town officials ask that people report any sightings on the bay side beaches to Truro Police. Members of the Center for Coastal Studies (CCS) reported on Thursday afternoon that the..>> view original
