Rationality is the crowning achievement of our species.

(PhysOrg.com) -- "Spatially entangled photons is a hot topic in quantum information science, and optical fibers are the cornerstone of our communication society," Wolfgang Loffler tells PhysOrg.com. "So far, though, no one that we know of has demonstrated that you can use a fiber to transport a photon entangled in its spatial degree of freedom."

Wieden + Kennedy epic "connected emotionally," edges out Puma To the surprise of no one, Nike’s Write the Future , a cinematic tour de force from Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam and director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu won the Grand Prix in the Film category at Cannes. It may surprise some to know how close a call it was, though.

Even though it's off the market, Tesla tells us they haven't given up on electric-powered speed machines. "The Roadster proved that EVs can outperform traditional combustion vehicles while producing zero emissions," says Tesla's Khobi Brooklyn. Say what you will about perennial electric vehicle startup Tesla Motors --the Roadster convertible changed the mainstream perception of EVs from clunky golf carts to sleek vehicles that can actually be driven on highways

Google has a small fleet of robotic cars that since autumn have driven themselves for thousands of miles on the streets of northern California without once striking a pedestrian, running a stoplight or having to ask directions. The cars’ ability to analyze enormous quantities of data--from cameras, radar sensors, laser-range finders--lies in the 18th-century math theorem known as Bayes’ rule.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers in the Materials Science and Technology division of the Naval Research Laboratory have recently demonstrated electrical injection, detection and precession of spin accumulation in silicon, the cornerstone material of modern device technology, at temperatures up to 225 degrees Celsius.
