IBM Takes First 3D Image of Atomic Bonds
From what I remember of chemistry, molecules were presented on computer screens, or at the very least with dowels and balls. Thanks to this incredible discovery, however, I'm jealous of how tomorrow's engineers will view—and control—nature's building blocks. More » -

Giz Explains: Why Quantum Computing Is the Future (But a Distant One)
Over 400 million transistors are packed on dual-core chips manufactured using Intel's 45nm process. That'll double soon, per Moore's Law. And it'll still be like computing with pebbles compared to quantum computing. More » -

First Quantum Processor Performs Simple Tasks, Illustrates the Concept
Yale researchers just made the first, albeit simple, quantum processor. The processor is made of two artificial atoms (each made of a billion aluminum atoms) that act like single atoms that can occupy two distinct states. More »
