...breakthrough that allowed for this new precision include a new technique to cool an electron until it reached its quantum-mechanical ground state, according to physics graduate student David A. Hanneke, who co-authored the paper. The researchers then carefully controlled the planar and axial motions of the electron through a combination of electric and magnetic forces to measure precisely the frequency responses of the electron...
...Abbas may finally have achieved an agreement to govern alongside Hamas, but the Palestinian Authority president has limited political authority even over his own Fatah movement.
