PHYSICISTS SHOW COHERENCE OF BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES EXTENDS TO SPIN STATE OF ATOMS, November 10

New research shows that the unique properties of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates extend to the internal spin states of the atoms from which the condensates are formed. Bose-Einstein condensates are an unusual form of matter in which all atoms exist in the same quantum state.

FLUIDS RACE THROUGH NEARLY FRICTIONLESS CARBON NANOTUBES, November 11
Within the cells of our bodies, fluids flow rapidly through miniscule, nearly frictionless, protein channels. Until now, human-made nanoscale structures have not been able to mimic those same speeds because the fluids flow slowly along the walls of the tiny structures.

ARTICLE EXAMINES A DISPUTED EINSTEIN PAPER, November 11
Apparently, even Einstein wasn't always an "Einstein." A University of Arkansas professor's article relates physicist Albert Einstein's reaction to a negative critique on a paper he had written on gravitational waves.

MESSENGERS FROM THE EXTREME UNIVERSE, November 10
A unique observatory in a remote location in Argentina is starting to unravel the mysteries of High Energy Cosmic Rays. There is no scientific consensus on the source of these particles which the shower the Earth at energies 10 million times higher than can be produced in particle accelerators! But the Pierre Auger Observatory is shedding new light on these energetic particles from space and using them as messengers to tell us more about the wider Universe.
