Correlations of quantum particles help in distinguishing physical processes Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:21 AM PST Communication security and metrology could be enhanced through a study of the role of quantum correlations in the distinguishability of physical processes, scientists say.

Google-style ranking used to describe gene connectivity Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:21 AM PST Coining the term "Gene Rank" (GR), a researcher has captured a new characterization of gene connectivity by using a computer algorithm to compare tissues across or within organisms at great speed with a simple laptop computer.

Weird 'strings' attached to future high temperature superconductivity Posted: 12 Feb 2015 03:51 AM PST The behavior of strongly correlated electron systems, such as high temperature superconductors, defies explanation in the language of ordinary quantum theory. A seemingly unrelated area of physics, string theory, might give physicists a better understanding of the weird behavior of this kind of collective electron systems.
