Please forgive this sort of article; i love physics and raising awareness about it but.. At this time in human history, physics seems secondary to all the issues we're facing.. The previous article comparing...
There are two kinds of conventional physicists: those that have open minds about the physics of our universe and those that dogmatically adhere to probability theory. There are many of both kinds.. So it's unfair of me to accuse the entire physics community of the latter.....
"Plasmonic nanolithography" focuses light by exciting electrons on metal lenses, which write data on photo-sensitve disks. According to UC Berkeley professor Zhang, storage capacity 10 to 100 times today's may be possible."Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley,...

Yet another solar breakthrough- the article goes into detail, but this pretty much sums it up:"Researchers have created a new material that overcomes two of the major obstacles to solar power: it absorbs all the energy contained in sunlight, and generates electrons in a way...
"An international team of researchers has shown that it can control the quantum state of a single electron in a silicon transistor--even putting the electron in two places at once. Their discovery could help pave the way toward a practical quantum computer. Quantum computers...

A zero-emisions spacecraft. The genii at Kampula Space Center have submitted documentation suggesting that it's possible: a positively-charged electron sail that would repel the negatively-charged solar wind, driving the craft away from the sun. Such a craft would have to be...
NASA researchers at Johnson Space Center, Houston have found organic materials that formed in the most distant reaches of the early Solar System preserved in a unique meteorite. The study was performed on the...
