"...We show that any theory with a classical limit must contain entangled states, thus establishing entanglement as an inevitable feature of any theory superseding classical theory. "

One overview about a recent publication (10/06/2014 http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.236802) showing room temperature operation of a new type of laser 'discovered' in 2013, the polariton laser. This new type of laser shows extremely low threshold current density - 2 orders of magnitude below Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSEL) - and it is believed to become one important component of nanophotonic integrated components.

I agree soooo very much. An increasing number of journal and scientists are finally coming on board with this open science philosophy and I bet we will soon see a radical change of the whole peer review process and publication business

This is a social sciences paper trying to make use of ML. Quote from text: "Social scientists studying the life course must find a way to reconcile a widespread belief that understanding has been generated by these data-as demonstrated by more than 750 published journal articles using the Fragile Families data (10)-with the fact that the very same data could not yield accurate predictions of these important outcomes." "(...) In other words, the submissions were much better at predicting each other than at predicting the truth."
