Nearly all of them were detected as a > result of the planet causing the star around which it > orbits to "wobble". Now, Andrew Cameron from the > University of St Andrews and colleagues claim to have > seen light reflected by the planet orbiting around the > star tau Bootis (Nature 402 751). The > planet - first discovered in 1997 - is eight times the > mass and 1.8 times the size of Jupiter, and blue-green in > colour. Tau Bootis is 50 light years from Earth. > [ http://PhysicsWeb.org/article/news/3/12/9 ] > ---------------------------------------------------------- > * The decay route to teleportation: (16 Dec) > A new way to "teleport" a quantum state has been proposed > by physicists from Imperial College, London and Oxford > University. The proposed technique teleports the quantum > state of an atom trapped in a cavity to a second atom in > a distant cavity (Phys. Rev. Lett. 83 > 5158). The technique is simpler than current methods that > rely on "entangled" pairs of photons. > [ http://PhysicsWeb.org/article/news/3/12/10 ] > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > ---------------------------------------------------------- >/ This alert was generated according to your settings. >| To change your alerting settings visit User Options at >\ http://PhysicsWeb.org/users/options/alert > ========================================================== > >Copyright (C)IOP Publishing Ltd. 1999.
