Incredible news from Otago Uni today:
"In a major physics breakthrough, University of Otago scientists in New Zealand
have developed a technique to consistently isolate and capture a fast-moving
neutral atom -- and have also seen and photographed this atom for the first
time."

The technique they've implemented swings quantum computing much closer to a
tenable reality. It has scientists the world over scratching their heads as news
has done the rounds today..
Honor blogged about it here also:
