Quantum computers come closer to realityWashington, May 19 (ANI): Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. have taken one step towards creating quantum computers by developing an all-semiconductor quantum logic gate, a controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate.
The heart rules the head when we make financial decisionsOur 'gut feelings' influence our decisions, overriding 'rational' thought, when we are faced with financial offers that we deem to be unfair, according to a new study. Even when we are set to benefit, our physical response can make us more likely to reject a financial proposition we consider to be unjust.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. have taken one step toward this goal by creating an all-semiconductor quantum logic gate, a controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate. They achieved this breakthrough by ...
Soon, an 'unprinter' to remove ink from papersLondon, May 21 -- Scientists claim to have developed a new technique that can remove ink from printed papers so they can be reused in printers and photocopiers. The technique, developed by a team at the University of Cambridge, uses short pulses of laser light to delete words and images printed on paper.The laser vaporises the toner ink without damaging the paper and opens up the prospect of ...
