Read moreDass Licht entgegen unserer Intuition nicht immer mit W�rme gleichzusetzen ist, macht sich die Quantenphysik bei der Erforschung von Atomen und deren Eigenschaften zunutze. Der Arbeitsgruppe Atomoptik am Institut f�r Laserphysik der Universit�t Hamburg ist es nun gelungen, mit Licht Gas-Atome so stark herunter zu k�hlen, dass sie sich zu einer Materiewelle zusammenschliessen.

A team of scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and University of Cambridge has made a significant advance in using nano-devices to create accurate electrical currents. Electrical current is composed of billions and billions of tiny particles called electrons. They have developed an electron pump - a nano-device - which picks these electrons up one at a time and moves them across a barrier, creating a very well-defined electrical current.
