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

New quantum criticality discovered in superconductivity

Using solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) techniques, scientists have discovered a new quantum criticality in a superconducting material, leading to a greater understanding of the link between magnetism and unconventional superconductivity. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181102094744.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
