...This is the first situation that cells have been taken out of someone and put back onto that person," says G. Gregory Gallico, assistant clinical professor of surgery at the Medical School and a plastic surgeon at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). "It's a quantum leap...
Though beyond this author's meager comprehension, another of Rueckner's popular demonstration--this one for quantum physics classes--illustrates how light interference patterns occur, even when "particles" of light are sent though double slits, one by one. It might not mean much to most, but to physics fiends, its a blast...
...breakup of the Bell Telephone System more than seven years ago appeared to place the industry at the threshold of a quantum leap into the Information Age. But the telephone companies were legally barred from the computerized- data business. Last month U.S. District Court Judge Harold Greene brought the future closer by freeing the Baby Bells to use their phone lines to provide such services as electronic Yellow Pages and home shopping...
...police have been investigating West Tsusho, which press reports say is an arm of a company controlled by Susumu Ishii, onetime head of Japan's second largest crime syndicate. Documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission show that Bush helped West Tsusho invest heavily in two American firms: Quantum Access, a Houston-based software company, and Asset Management International Financing & Settlement, a New York City-based firm...
...concept dates back to the late '70s, when some enterprising disco deejay played a disembodied bit of an old record over and over again to give it a funky new spin. That technique took a quantum leap when the first electronic samplers were introduced around 1980. Unlike synthesizers, which generate tones artificially, samplers record real sounds. Anything audible is eligible: prerecorded music, drumbeats, human voices, even ordinary noise like a slamming door. Samplers transform these sounds into digital codes, which in turn can be manipulated to produce melodies, rhythm tracks and complicated webs of sounds...
