World's 'coolest' Lego set could help develop quantum computing

If you thought that Lego's were the coolest toys on the planet while you were growing up, it turns out that you were right. Scientists at Lancaster University in England conducted an experiment in which they froze several Lego blocks to the lowest possible temperature, and what they discovered could be useful in the development of quantum computing. Led by Dr. Dmitry Zmeev, the scientists used a custom-made dilution refrigerator, which the university says is the most effective refrigerator in th
