A synthetic compound long known to exhibit interesting transition properties may hold the key to new, non-magnetic forms of information storage, say researchers at the RIKEN SPring-8 Center and their collaborators. The team's latest findings shed light on the complex relationship between a compound's electron spin arrangement and its transport properties, an area researchers have long struggled to understand.

(Phys.org) -- Researchers from Michigan State University, the NIST Center for Neutron Research, and the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology have discovered the key to controlling and enhancing the lossless flow of a current with a single electron spin state in a standard superconducting device.

Roche's Genentech unit said Tuesday that the fake products do not contain the key ingredient in Avastin

Working long hours linked to depression; Ultrasounds could be the key to male birth control; And, a special "What the Health" segment on babies, from CBSNews.com's Nick Dietz

People who work 11-plus hours a day are two-and-a-half times more likely to become depressed than those clock out after seven or eight; Also, ultrasounds could be the key to birth control for men; And, a special "What the Health" segment on babies.

(PhysOrg.com) -- In the development of quantum information processing, one of the key requirements is achieving quantum entanglement. But recently, physicists have been investigating other forms of quantum correlations besides entanglement, and wondering if they may be useful and if they may play a role in future quantum communication and computation. In a new study, scientists have found that other forms of quantum correlations can be used to obtain useful entanglement of macroscopic systems, providing new insight and potentially leading to novel quantum technologies.

Exercise may be the key to living a long life. Dr. Jon LaPook caught up with some senior citizens who are pushing the limits of age.

New research using graphene presents the most precise measurements of the quantum Hall effect ever made, one of the key steps in the process to redefine two SI units.

By Daniel Cressey of Nature magazine Chaperone proteins could be the key to treating a range of diseases, including some cancers. [More]

War fatalities--and especially those from terrorist or insurgent attacks--seem particularly and cruelly random. But some scientists think they have found the key to predicting just when these deadly assaults will come. [More]

NEW YORK -- Could coal be the key to manufacturing lighter, more energy-efficient vehicles, including electric cars? It may seem counterintuitive to use coal to reduce a vehicle's fuel consumption, and thus its CO2 output. But one scientist at a New York technical school thinks he's found a way, and hopes to market it to automakers and the growing electric vehicle industry.

Clinical psychologist and nutritionist Amanda Baten tells Erica Hill that balance in sleep, work, diet and exercise is the key to a healthier life.

One of the key theories underpinning modern physics is being tested by the latest results from the LHC’s ATLAS experiment.
