Scientists unlock the secret of the Kondo effect

The Kondo effect, one of the few examples in physics where many particles collectively behave as one object (a single quantum-mechanical body), has intrigued scientists around the world for decades. Now, using a technique that was developed by the same team in 2007, the IBM researchers have shown, for the first time anywhere, that it is possible to predict when the Kondo effect will occur – and to understand why.
The key turns out to be in the geometry of a magnetic atom’s immediate surroundings. By carefully studying how this geometry influences the magnetic moment (or “spin”) of the atom, the emergence of the Kondo effect can now be predicted and understood. This result represents a major advancement in fundamental physics..."

So wouldn't this technology be as important to finding out about our origins as the discovery of the "higgs Boson" they hope to discover with the LHC? It seems that when we break things down to their most simplistic form, or what we believe may be their most simplistic form, It is going to be very important to know how or at least have a theory as to how to manipulate those simplistic particles. I am not trying to be as briliant as the minds in question I am only trying to understand and piece this stuff together!!

I want them to uncover the science behind the "quantum entanglement" effect, where two particles separated by vast distances, can react in the same way as if by magic.

rwylie:
i heard that is only a theory
i might be wrong but,
i don't think it has been provenbut that also has almost nothing to do with this
