Testing the Best-yet Theory of Nature
Wed, 30 Jun 2010 09:38:00 -0500

spin stat experiment Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have tested one of the major theoretical pillars of quantum field theory, the spin-statistics theorem. With a confidence level of 100 billion to one, they found that photons really are perfect bosons.

Enterprise PCs Work While They Sleep--Saving Energy and Money--With New Software
Wed, 30 Jun 2010 11:40:00 -0500

Yuvraj Agarwal 2010 SleepServer Personal computers (PCs) in enterprise environments save energy and money by "sleep-working," thanks to new software called SleepServer created by computer scientists from the University of California, San Diego. Sleep-working enterprise PCs are accessible via remote connections and maintain their presence on voice over IP, instant messaging, and peer-to-peer networks even though the PCs are in low-power sleep mode.
