One step closer to complex quantum teleportation

For future technologies such as quantum computers and quantum encryption, the experimental mastery of complex quantum systems is inevitable. Scientists have now succeeded in making another leap. While physicists are trying to increase the number of so-called qubits, the other researchers are pursuing the idea to use more complex quantum systems. The developed methods and technologies could in the future enable the teleportation of complex quantum systems. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181102105953.htm

To fight email scammers, take a different view, literally

A team of researchers is helping law enforcement crack down on email scammers, thanks to a new visual analytics tool that dramatically speeds up forensic email investigations and highlights critical links within email data. Email scams are among the most prevalent, insidious forms of cybercrime. The research team has already begun sharing Beagle with law enforcement agencies at no cost to assist in their investigations, and will continue to refine its capabilities based on real-world feedback. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181101133756.htm

Cryo-electron microscope bears fruit in its first year

In November 2017, a Titan Krios cryo-electron microscope (cryo-EM) was inaugurated at the ESRF, the European Synchrotron, France. Data collected on this cryo-EM describes the activation cycle of a serotonin receptor, which is targeted by medication against chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced nausea. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181031141610.htm

Alcohols as carbon radical precursors

Carbon radicals are attractive intermediates for organic synthesis because of their diversity and high reactivities. In this research, we realized radical C-C bond formation reactions using alcohols as straightforward carbon radical precursors. We used a newly developed low-valent titanium reagent to cleave the C-O bonds of benzyl alcohol derivatives to generate the corresponding carbon radicals. This method was successfully applied to radical coupling reactions with several electron-deficient alkenes. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181102095507.htm

Atomic path from insulator to metal messier than thought

Vanadium dioxide has the unusual ability to switch from electrical insulator to conductor at the low temperature of 152 degrees Fahrenheit. By optically triggering this phase transition and pinging its atoms with X-ray pulses, researchers have watched the transition unfold in full detail for the first time, finding that the atoms arrive at their destinations through unpredictable routes independently of each other. This study is important to understanding the behavior of photo-excited materials. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181101142913.htm
