The Flash Dance of Attosecond X-Rays
Berkeley Labs
July 14, 2004


Chemistry starts with the movement of electrons, a motion that takes place in a matter of attoseconds ??” a timescale almost too small to comprehend. An attosecond is one billionth of a billionth of a second, and there are more attoseconds in a minute than there have been minutes in the history of the universe. http://www.discoveriesandinventions.com/articles/display_word.html?ID=253

July 22, 2004


In November, Andy Abramson, of San Diego, took his new Internet phone on a two-week business trip to Europe. He spent 18 hours calling friends and clients in Canada, Italy, France and the United States, an international dialing spree that would normally have set him back hundreds of dollars. But all that talking cost him just $13. http://www.discoveriesandinventions.com/articles/display_word.html?ID=256

Mystery of Nanoparticles Concealed in the Blink of an Eye
August 4, 2004


Newswise ??” Scientists at the University of Chicago have discovered a better way to measure a confounding property of microscopic high-tech particles called quantum dots.
Quantum dots, also called nanocrystals, emit light in a rainbow of colors and are used in lasers, biological studies and other applications, but their tendency to blink hinders their technological value. Imagine the annoyance caused by a randomly flickering light bulb. http://www.discoveriesandinventions.com/articles/display_word.html?ID=257
