Here's something new: a microscope that uses the properties of quantum entanglement.
The researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan say it "works by focusing two beams of photons into spots next to each other on a flat sample and measuring the interference pattern they create after they have been reflected. When both spots hit a flat part of the sample, they travel the same path length and create a corresponding interference pattern. But when the spots hit areas of different heights, the interference pattern changes".
Who says that physics isn't useful?
