Is Dark Energy Really "Repulsive Gravity"?
In 1998 scientists discovered that the universe is not only expanding but that its expansion is accelerating. This totally unexpected behavior has been called the "most profound problem" in physics , because our current understanding of gravity says that attractions between mass in the universe should be causing the expansion to slow down. The leading theory to explain the accelerating expansion is the existence of a hypothetical repulsive force called dark energy. (Related: "New Galaxy Maps to Help Find Dark Energy Proof?"

Snobbish photons forced to pair up and get heavy
Ordinarily, photons—particles of light—don't interact with each other. They interfere, but that's a characteristic that doesn't alter their wavelength or cause them to attract or repel. However, if photons can be induced to interact, it could open up a wide number of applications in quantum computing and optical materials.
Teleportation - StumbleUpon
Teleportation is the name given by science fiction writers to the feat of making an object or person disintegrate in one place while a perfect replica appears somewhere else. How this is accomplished is usually not explained in detail, but the general idea seems to be that the original object is scanned in such a way as to extract all the information from it, then this information is transmitted to the receiving location and used to construct the replica, not necessarily from the actual material of the original, but perhaps from atoms of the same kinds, arranged in exactly the same pattern as the original. A teleportation machine would be like a fax machine, except that it would work on 3-dimensional objects as well as documents, it would produce an exact copy rather than an approximate facsimile, and it would destroy the original in the process of scanning it. In 1993 an international group of six scientists, including IBM Fellow Charles H.

Tying Light in Knots [Slide Show]
Knots can help unravel some knotty (sorry!) situations. The mathematical study of knotted shapes has proved constructive for many branches of physics, from understanding how fluids flow to developing quantum computers. Now physicists have found that light itself can be knotted by discovering a new set of solutions to the famous Maxwell equations of electromagnetism. In the 1860s Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell wrote down a series of equations describing how electric and magnetic fields form and change. These foundational formulas, still printed in almost every physics textbook, led to the crucial realization that light is an electromagnetic phenomenon.
Quantum Entanglement and Information (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) - StumbleUpon
First published Mon Aug 13, 2001; substantive revision Thu Aug 26, 2010 Quantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, associated with the peculiar nonclassical correlations that are possible between separated quantum systems. Entanglement can be measured, transformed, and purified. A pair of quantum systems in an entangled state can be used as a quantum information channel to perform computational and cryptographic tasks that are impossible for classical systems.

Hot water freezes faster than cold - and now we know why.
Hot water seems to freeze faster than cold water, known as the Mpemba effect. The effect was named after the Tanzanian student who in 1963 noticed that hot ice cream mix freezes faster than a cold one. The effect was first observed by Aristotle in the 4th century BC, then later Francis Bacon and René Descartes. Mpemba published a paper on his findings in 1969. Theories for the Mpemba effect have included: faster evaporation of hot water, therefore reducing the volume left to freeze; formation of a frost layer on cold water, insulating it; and different concentrations of solutes such as carbon dioxide, which is driven off when the water is heated. Unfortunately the effect doesn’t always appear - cold water often does actually freeze faster than hot, as you would expect.
