Modern science as a photorealistic online game

A multinational research team at the University of Vienna under the direction of quantum physicist Markus Arndt has made significant progress in the identification of protein ions: At low energies, superconducting nanowire detectors outperform conventional ion detectors in terms of detection efficiency by a ratio of up to 1,000 due to their high energy sensitivity, which allows for about 100% quantum efficiency.

Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment originally served to prove that light is a wave — but later quantum versions have made for a much fuzzier picture.

A matter-wave interferometer can probe the magnetism of a broad range of species, from single atoms to very large, weakly magnetic molecules.

Through some kind of weird synchronicity, the title question came up twice yesterday, once in a comment to my TED@NYC talk post, and the second time on Twitter, in a conversation with a person whose account is protected, thus rendering it un-link-able. Trust me.
