    While most humans are right-handed, our proteins are made up of lefty molecules. In the same way your left and right hands mirror one another, molecules can assemble in two reflected structures. Life prefers the left-handed version, which is puzzling since both mirrored types form equally in the laboratory.

  • Could quantum entanglement help a flock of birds fly south for the winter? A team of scientists at the Akademie der Wissenschaften and the Universität Innsbruck, both in Austria, is looking at how concepts central to the field of quantum information—entanglement and coherence—play a role in the chemistry of magnetodetection that animals use for navigation.

  • The process is done 20 times to create a 20-bit binary number that represents the energy of the hydrogen molecule to a precision of about one part per million.
  • Aspuru-Guzik described the two-qubit calculation as a "baby step forward," and added that a 128-qubit system would be needed to work out the energy levels of a simple molecule such as water.

  • Scientists have used microfluidic technology to improve the survival rates of frozen cells.
  • Utkan Demirci, at Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, US, and colleagues have increased the chance of cell survival by 25 per cent over standard cryopreservation methods.

    You've heard of the catastrophic effects of radiation on environments, animals and humans. A seemingly silent and invisible destroyer, radiation can make whole cities inhabitable for hundreds of years. But have you ever wondered what radiation actually looks like? There may be one image that jumps to mind. We saw the same detector setup in the room opposite to ours during the Open Day! Using uranium is just cooler. :)
