R�ntgenstrahlen in einer Box 'auf Eis zu legen' und sp�ter nach Belieben wieder freizusetzen, klingt nach Science Fiction. Neue Rechnungen zeigen jedoch, dass mithilfe eines Magnetfelds einzelne R�ntgenquanten eingefangen und ohne Qualit�tsverlust wiedergewonnen werden k�nnen. Ausserdem ist es m�glich, das gespeicherte R�ntgenquant zu manipulieren, insbesondere seine Phase kontrolliert zu �ndern.

Cell phones as thin and flex�ible as a sheet of paper. Energy-??storing house paint. Roll-??up touch screen dis�plays. But if any of them is to work, said North�eastern Uni�ver�sity mechan�ical and indus�trial engi�neering pro�fessor Yung Joon Jung, experts also need to create a thin and flex�ible energy-??storage system. His lab has devel�oped such a system.
