Beam me up Scotty! Researchers teleport particle of light six kilometres

Collaboration between quantum scientists and City of Calgary sets a distance record for teleporting a photon state over a fibre network What if you could behave like the crew on the Starship Enterprise and teleport yourself home or anywhere else in the world? As a human, you’re probably not going to realize this any time

Detecting disease in beef cattle using ear tag units

A smartphone switches its orientation from portrait to landscape depending on how it’s tilted. A car’s airbags inflate when it senses collision forces. By detecting earth’s vibrations, a computer can measure the magnitude and aftershocks of an earthquake. These technologies are made possible by accelerometers—small, electromechanical devices that measure acceleration. The devices are able to

Changes to fisheries legislation have removed habitat protection for most species in Canada

Revisions to Fisheries Act were unscientific, biologists at universities of Calgary and Dalhousie say Federal government changes to Canada’s fisheries legislation have eviscerated the ability to protect habitat for most of the country’s fish species, scientists at the universities of Calgary and Dalhousie say in a new study. The changes were politically motivated, unsupported by

Fecal transplant pill knocks out recurrent C. diff infection, study shows

Other research shows treatment leads to high patient satisfaction Swallowing pills containing a concentrate of fecal bacteria successfully stops recurrent bouts of debilitating Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection by rebalancing the bacteria in the gut, suggests a study being presented at the IDWeek 2013™ meeting today. Infection from C. diff bacteria is such a concern that the Centers for

UMass Amherst Chemists Develop Nose-like Sensor Array to ‘Smell’ Cancer Diagnoses

A rapid, sensitive way to detect microscopic levels of many different metastatic cell types in living tissue In the fight against cancer, knowing the enemy’s exact identity is crucial for diagnosis and treatment, especially in metastatic cancers, those that spread between organs and tissues. Now chemists led by Vincent Rotello at the University of Massachusetts

Combating climate change

The idea of pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere is a beguiling one. Could it ever become real? THOSE who worry about global warming have a simple answer to the problem. Simple in theory, that is: stop pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In practice that is rather hard to do. But there is

Nanoparticle vaccine cures type 1 diabetes in mice

According to the American Diabetes Association around one in every 400 to 600 children and adolescents has type 1 diabetes – also known as IDDM, or juvenile diabetes. Currently there is no known way to prevent the disease which requires sufferers to administer insulin usually via injection or a pump. Using a nanotechnology-based “vaccine,” researchers
