First silicon-based, long-lasting nuclear spin qubit created by quantum researchers
2013-04-19 17:16:35| Extremetech
Researchers at the University of New South Wales in Australia have created the first quantum bit (qubit) based on the nuclear spin of an atom, within a silicon transistor. This breakthrough is significant for two reasons: The qubit produced by the researchers is highly stable -- and it's in silicon, meaning it can be wired up and controlled electronically, just like a conventional computer chip.

Nuclear fuel leaves French port for Japan, first since Fukushima
2013-04-18 12:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A shipment of highly radioactive nuclear fuel to Japan left the port of Cherbourg in northern France on Wednesday for the first time since the Fukushima disaster, French energy group Areva said on Thursday. The shipment of mixed oxide fuel (MOX) is likely to be controversial in Japan, where public opposition to nuclear power and reactor restarts remains strong a month after the second anniversary of the March 11, 2011 catastrophe. France's state-owned nuclear group, whose activities range from...
