Light stopped completely for a minute inside a crystal: The basis of quantum memory
2013-07-25 12:49:51| Extremetech
Scientists at the University of Darmstadt in Germany have stopped light for one minute. For one whole minute, light, which is usually the fastest thing in the known universe and travels at 300 million meters per second, was stopped dead still inside a crystal. This effectively creates light memory, where the image being carried by the light is stored in crystals. Beyond being utterly cool, this breakthrough could lead to the creation of long-range quantum networks.

Independent: Huge amounts of heat equivalent to the power of 150 billion electric kettles are being continuously absorbed by the deep ocean, which could explain why global warming has paused over the past 10 to 15 years, scientists have concluded in a series of reports to explain why the Earths rate of warming has slowed down. Global average temperatures are higher now than they have ever been since modern records began. However, after a period of rapid temperature increases during the 1980s and 1990s...

Has the Republican Party stopped denying climate science
2013-07-03 01:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Given that nearly 70 percent of Republicans in Congress and 90 percent of the party's congressional leadership deny the reality of human-caused global warming, you might expect them to attack President Obama's climate plan on scientific grounds. On the contrary, Republican politicians have critiqued President Obama's plan almost entirely on the economics. Even Senator James Inhofe, who wrote an entire book based around the absurd premise that "global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated...
