	Trapped, Imaged Single Atoms May Enable Powerful Quantum Computing Quantum computers have the potential to vastly out-perform present-day “classical” computers – if scientists can identify and manipulate promising quantum bits, or “qubits,” the basic information-storing units of a quantum computer. [ Monday 23rd July 2007 ]   [ Physics ] More ...   Supernova Theory Strengthened by New Observation Type Ia supernovae are used as cosmic yardsticks to measure distances in the Universe. That's because they always explode with roughly the same intensity. The theory goes: Type Ia supernovae occur when a white dwarf star consumes a specific amount of material from a binary partner. It can't hold the extra mass, and so it explodes.
