"From thunderous mountain landscapes viewed from above to the erratic trajectories of Brownian motion, fractal patterns exist at many scales in nature. Physicists believe that fractals also exist in the quantum world, and now a group of researchers in the US has shown that this is indeed the case. This image shows the fractal pattern that results when the waves associated with electrons start to interfere with each other." - Kurt Starnes

"Two new and powerful telescopes — the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) and the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) — are starting their work at ESO’s Paranal observatory in northern Chile, where the nightsky is so dark the the light from the Milky Way will cast your shadow. They are arguably the most powerful imaging survey telescopes in the world and will hugely increase the scientific discovery potential." - Kurt Starnes

"They're saying that by constantly squeezing the system, you can preserve entanglement at high temperatures. But how high? Galve and co say this depends on the coupling between the oscillators. But they calculate that entanglement between a pair of calcium ions in an rf trap--a standard set up in many labs--and show how it could be sustained at 50K. That's significantly better than the sub-4K systems that experimenters have to manage with today. "We believe this to be a huge experimental step," they say." - Kurt Starnes

It is blasphemous. - Louis Gray

Yeah, that's what I thought. But if it looked pretty . . . - Kurt Starnes

HAhaha, that's buzz has me floored! I think I'm having an epiphany... - sofarsoShawn

Maybe it's the angle but that looks like a piece of poo. - Mona Nomura

Well, if you're into that kind of thing. - Kurt Starnes

offer them donuts and beer? - Big Joe Silenced

I told 'em I was waiting on my Buzz. - Kurt Starnes
