SUPERCONDUCTIVITY BREAKTHROUGH - ELECTRONS IN SINGLE FILE PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS, November 22
A team at the University of Innsbruck has been successful in conducting electrons in metals along predetermined channels. This behaviour, observed for the first time in metals, provides important insights into the interactions of electrons - and on how the phenomenon of the current flow without any resistance loss, termed superconductivity, can occur. Thereby this project aided by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) combines fundamental research, at its best, with potential applications in the future.

NEW BOOK SQUEEZES OUT INFORMATION ON QUANTUM PHYSICS, November 22
Quantum Squeezing, a new book by two University of Queensland researchers that presents the first comprehensive overview of this hot topic in quantum physics, will be launched today.
Edited by Professor Peter Drummond and Dr Zbyszek Ficek from the Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics, Quantum Squeezing explains the latest developments in this field, emphasising the enormous progress made over the past two decades in controlling quantum fluctuations, which are the origin of all quantum mysteries and paradoxes.
