A quantum physicist invented a new code from old tricks
Dr. Benjamin Brown from the School of Physics has developed a type of error-correcting code for quantum computers that will free up more hardware to do useful calculations. "Because quantum information is so fragile, it produces a lot of errors," said Dr. Brown, a research fellow at the University of Sydney Nano Institute.

US astronomers find cosmic missing link black hole
A team of astronomers led by Dr. Dacheng Lin at the University of New Hampshire in Durham believes it has discovered evidence for a particularly elusive kind of black hole that may be a missing link to a wider understanding of these mysterious bodies. Lin's team used the Hubble telescope along with two X-ray measurements to observe what is called an intermediate-mass black hole.

Legendary physicist Freeman Dyson dies aged 96
Freeman Dyson, the famous mathematician and iconic physics professor at Princeton University, has died aged 96 due to injuries sustained from suffering a fall during his visit to the university. Dyson's contributions to physics include the famous Dyson Sphere, which has been featured in Star Trek, and the Dyson Tree, a genetically modified plant that would be able to survive a journey into space.

Groundbreaking experiment cools particle to the quantum limit
An experiment designed by Markus Aspelmeyer and his team of researchers at the University of Vienna has successfully cooled a nanoparticle to the quantum cooling limit, reaching the particle's ground state at a minimum temperature of twelve millionths of a Kelvin, through the precise use of an array of lasers to levitate the particle in a specially constructed cavity.

New technique produces graphene flakes from waste material
A technique has recently been developed at Rice University's James Tour lab by graduate student Duy Luong, which allows waste coal, food and plastic to be transformed into graphene flakes in a 'flash' reaction, reducing carbon dioxide by-products and providing researchers with a new cheap method for producing large amounts of graphene for compositing with concrete, cars, clothing, etc.
