- Spin qubits feel the strain
- The next frontier in information processing is the quantum computer. Such a device, which relies on the precise control of quantum states, promises revolutionary fast algorithms and the prospect of unbreakable codes [1]. Because most of our existing information technology relies on electrical and magnetic phenomena, the quantum magnetic moment, or spin of an object is a natural component of a quantum computer.

- Cosmic Nudity
- In a paper published in Physical Review Letters, Luis Lehner from the University of Guelph and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, both in Canada, and Frans Pretorius from Princeton University, US, perform a detailed numerical study of extended black hole solutions, known as black strings, in five dimensions.

- Why Black Holes Slow Down
- When two black holes merge, the resulting larger black hole usually shoots away from its birthplace, but it immediately slows down in some cases, according to computer simulations. In the 4 June Physical Review Letters, a team offers an explanation for this puzzling deceleration.
