Bubble Fusion Research Under Scrutiny A Purdue University scientist stands by his findings of a hydrogen isotope undergoing fusion in imploding bubbles. Meanwhile, a group of researchers funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to reproduce his results saw no evidence of fusion. |

Going with the Flow Researchers say they can overcome the problems of modelling flow in fluids like mayonnaise, engine oil and snow by taking thixotropy into account. This insight may help to model fluid flow in avalanches and landslides. |

Repulsive Particles Particles that one might expect to mutually repel somehow manage to form clusters in solution. This finding could be important for understanding how polymers become organized and improve the prospects of the burgeoning field of soft matter research. |

Quantum Leap For Quantum Computing The most promising technology for constructing an ultrapowerful quantum computer is the ion trap, a nest of electrodes that holds ions in midair. Researchers have now built the first such ion-trap chips. |
