"QUANTUM: mechanical effects quell resonating bar"

Quantum mechanics predicts that measurements motivate mass--that the act of observing can affect the observed. Now a former National Security Agency scientist turned physics professor has demonstrated that motion can be elicited and quelled by quantum-level observations. Indeed, observations alone changed not only the physical motion of a device but also the motion's thermal consequence, according to Cornell University in a report on the largest device in which quantum mechanical effects have been observed. The device was an aluminum-on-silicon nitride resonating bar measuring 8.7 microns long by 200 nanometers wide, contained 10 trillion atoms.
