New York Times: Researchers at the University of Arizona report in Nature that they have succeeded in transmitting moving three-dimensional images from one place to another in almost real time. Their device can update images every 2 seconds. The technology uses holograms, two-dimensional images that reconstruct the light that would have bounced off a physical object, making it look 3D. The new technology could be used for such applications as holographic surgery and movies that literally surround the viewer.
An ultracold atomic gas can sync into a single quantum state. Researchers uncovered a speed limit for the process that has implications for quantum computing and the evolution of the early universe.
