Technology Research News August 11, 2004 Eric Smalley	Chips measure electron spin Practical quantum computers are at least a decade away, and some researchers are betting that they will never be built. But a pair of recent experiments may prove them wrong.
Chemistry World April 29, 2009 Matt Wilkinson	World's first 'naked' uranium-transition metal bond formed UK scientists have made 'naked' uranium-transition metal bonds, providing vital evidence that valence orbitals can play a role in actinide bonding.
Technology Research News August 13, 2003 Eric Smalley	Quantum computer keeps it simple Controlling fleeting quantum particles usually requires making extraordinarily precise devices. A proposal that calls for chaperoning pairs of particles and getting all of the particles in a quantum computer to sing the same tune could ease this burden.
Technology Research News June 1, 2005	Magnetic Resonance Goes Nano Researchers have built a nuclear magnetic resonance device that has the potential to overcome the quantum bit limit because it is small enough to fit on a computer chip.
Technology Research News September 10, 2003	Quantum computing has limits Researchers from the University of Arkansas and Texas A&M University have shown that quantum computers, while theoretically useful for very large problems, are likely to always need very large amounts of power.

Technology Research News November 3, 2004 Eric Smalley	Single Field Shapes Quantum Bits Researchers have recently realized that it may be possible to control the electrons in a quantum computer using a single magnetic field rather than having to produce extremely small, precisely focused magnetic fields for each electron.
Chemistry World September 3, 2014 Philip Ball	Does life play dice? Those two attention-grabbers, physics and biology, are appropriating what essentially belongs to chemistry. All of the facets of quantum biology that are so far reasonably established, or at least well grounded in experiment and theory, are chemical ones.
Technology Research News December 11, 2002 Eric Smalley	Design links quantum bits Realizing the potential of phenomenally fast quantum computers means having to link thousands of quantum bits, which are the transistors of such computers. So far researchers have been able to connect only a few. A scheme for linking many tiny superconducting loops may pull it all together.
Chemistry World May 17, 2012 David Bradley	Plutonium in a Spin Spectroscopists have finally pinned down the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of plutonium-239. The finding might point the way to improved approaches to the long-term storage of nuclear waste.
Technology Research News June 30, 2004	Chip protects single atoms Researchers have found a way to closely control the quantum states, or traits, of single atoms trapped in a microchip. The method is a step toward building devices like miniature atomic clocks that are an order of magnitude more accurate than those that exist today.
