The Potential of Spintronics
In this Q & A session with Physics World, David Awschalom discusses the current uses and future possibilities of harnessing the spin of electrons. This emerging field is called spintronics, and it's potential applications range from massively increased memory storage to the building of functional quantum computers.
Sean Carroll and the Arrow of Time
Why does time move in only one direction? Why are some events cyclical and some others happen only once? What is the relationship between these two experiences we have of time? These are some of the questions that Dr. Carroll explores in this lecture he recently delivered at the Quantum 2 Consciousness festival in Waterloo, Ontario. I'm really glad that they made this lecture and others available online so those of us who couldn't make it can still listen in.
