Oxford Quantum Circuits will leverage these features to enhance the scaling of its unique 3D architecture, paving the way towards quantum-focused Measurements as a Service capability. OQC is the first company to take delivery of Proteox. Find out more. A tribute to educational TV Physics Today editors take a trip down memory lane with recollections of the television shows that most influenced their younger selves. Borexino detector catches neutrinos from the Sun's CNO cycle The neutrinos amount to just 1% of the Sun's output but are dominant in heavier stars. R. Mark Wilson Webinar Probing local magnetic field patterns Discover how to probe nanostructures locally with high-spatial-resolution techniques such as NV-centers and nanowire MFM microscopy. Learn about their applications, characteristics and required operating conditions, and find out how to use lock-in amplifiers to enhance the sensitivity and contrast of these methods. Register now! FROM THE VAULT: January 2000 Motile behavior of bacteria E. coli, a self‐replicating object only a thousandth of a millimeter in size, can swim 35 diameters a second, taste simple chemicals in its environment, and decide whether life is getting better or worse. Howard C. Berg Dark excitons outnumber bright ones An improved photoelectron spectroscopy technique detects both types of quasiparticles and uncovers an unexpected imbalance in their populations. Christine Middleton New books: January 2021 A listing of newly published books spanning several genres of the physical sciences. FROM THE JANUARY MAGAZINE S is for Science: The making of 3-2-1 Contact The beloved after-school show of the 1980s was the product of a then revolutionary idea: asking children what they wanted in a television science series.
