Laser light cools microchip
Ground-state cooling should in principle be possible in the 'resolved-sideband regime', as demonstrated with trapped atom and ions. Researchers have now been able to demonstrate just this very regime experimentally - taking a key step towards ground state cooling.

Read moreWhere's the glue? Scientists find a surprise when they look for what binds in superconductivity
Provocative results yielded by two years of experiments carried out at Princeton University have a group of scientists saying that high-temperature superconductivity does not hinge on a magical glue binding electrons together. The secret to superconductivity, they say, may rest instead on the ability of electrons to take advantage of their natural repulsion in a complex situation.
