"Nanoelectronics researchers discover a bizarre shaped molecule in one of their devices can acts as first known quantum state-manipulable atom Imagine a tiny arsenic atom embedded in a tiny strip of silicon atoms. An electric current is applied. Something strange arises on the surface -- an exotic molecule. On one end is the spherical submerged arsenic atom; on the other end is an "artificial" flat atom, seemingly 2D, created as an artifact. The pair form an exotic molecule, which has a shared electron, which can be manipulated to be at either end, or in an intermediate quantum state."

"Wouldn't it be great if you could become invisible whenever you wanted? Harry Potter can do it, and so could certain groups of futuristic creatures on "Star Trek." Graeme Milton and colleagues have come up with a theory for how small objects could become invisible. Such technology remains far off, but it may not be entirely impossible. Teams of scientists around the globe say they're making progress on theories and experiments involving cloaking -- that is, making things invisible. In theory, all that's needed to make a small object invisible is something called a superlens, says Graeme Milton, a mathematician at the University of Utah."
