Faster than light?
Article Abstract:
Research on nonlocality, or 'action at a distance,' casts doubt on the theory of physics that states that nothing can move faster than the speed of light. Additional research indicates that signals cannot be sent faster than the speed of light.

The single-atom laser: a new type of laser that harnesses the energy of individual atoms reveals how light interacts with matter
Article Abstract:
The design and construction of the single-atom laser is described. Construction of the single-atom laser is based upon the Rabi oscillation principle and can be used to study quantum interactions.
