World record set for entanglement of twisted light quanta

R&D Magazine – The Vienna research team led by Anton Zeilinger has achieved a new milestone in the history of quantum physics: The scientists were able to generate and measure the entanglement of the largest quantum numbers to date.

One of the most fascinating phenomena of quantum physics is that of entanglement. Entangled quanta of light behave as if able to influence each other—even as they are spatially separated. more> http://tinyurl.com/caddgtg

Recycle-ready Trains

Siemens – Environmental lifecycle assessments are playing an ever more important role in the rail industry. Siemens Rail Systems in Vienna is a pioneer, constructing its trains, subway cars and light rail vehicles so that they use as few resources and energy as possible during the manufacturing process as well as during operation. More and more attention is being paid to the reuse of obsolete rail vehicles as well. Through skillful selection of materials and manufacturing processes, the vehicles can be designed so that they can later be easily recycled. This enables Siemens Rail Systems to already recycle 95 percent of the materials. more> http://is.gd/MdxL02
