An expert group for high performance calculations was officially established on
20 May 2009 at the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching near
Munich. The team, named "High-Level-Support-Team" and supported financially
by...

Were vast numbers of black holes spawned during our universe's earliest
moments? It is an intriguing idea, made possible by the extreme densities
associated with the big bang.
So far, there is no hard evidence that such primordial black...

Surmounting several distinct hurdles to quantum computing, physicists at
Harvard University have found that individual carbon-13 atoms in a diamond
lattice can be manipulated with extraordinary precision to create stable quantum
mechanical...

An electrical circuit that should carry
enough power to produce the long-sought goal of controlled high-yield nuclear
fusion and, equally important, do it every 10 seconds, has undergone extensive
preliminary experiments and computer...
