Miracles of Modern Science

The thing about science is that once you’ve figured out what appears to be a miracle, it is no longer a miracle. So science is more like realization of facts.

Quantum “Teleportation”
Quantum physicists have known about the ability of particles to instantaneously transport states with no regard for space for decades. This property of quantum physics has been coined, “entaglement“. Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have demonstrated that it is possible to “teleport” information from one so-called quantum dot to another (2). This demonstration may be progress toward a quantum computer.

more on quantum teleportation of states:
“Teleportation is a really unfortunate term,” says University of Michigan physicist Christopher Monroe. “It implies moving people from point A to point B,” when in fact it refers to “creating a quantum state in one place that used to exist somewhere else” with no intervening connection (1).

NanoWires: Nanodevice Synthesis Revolutionizes Biological Sensors
A novel approach to synthesizing nanowires (NWs) allows their direct integration with microelectronic systems for the first time, as well as their ability to act as highly sensitive biomolecule detectors that could revolutionize biological diagnostic applications, according to a report in Nature.  They’ve created molecule sized sensors that can detect antibodies in real time (3).

MIT Researchers Find Key Enzyme for Reversing Retardation in Mice                Researchers at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT have, for the first time, reversed symptoms of mental retardation and autism in mice (4).
