Chautala is still not able to understand how come a person vanishes in the pool without coming out of the pool thus, she spots a Rat in Lord Ganesha's idol and reveals her team that the unknown person who is troubling people in the water comes through the pipe and takes an exit too. Chautala reveals a rocking plan and sends Billu in the water thus, Billu as old Man tries to swim and suddenly he feels as if some one is pulling his leg inside the water, so he calls Chautala and Chautala gets hold of the unknown person who later reveals her in Imaan Chowki that he was following a Lady's order. Has Chautala succeeded in finding the unknown person who is pulling leg of innocent people in the pool? FIR presents to you a female inspector and her funny sub-inspector trying to solve cases. Their sincere attempts to crack the mysteries are hilarious and worth a hearty laugh. The sitcom is set in a Police Station where constables indulge in amazing antics. A space you must vis it to experience an amusing and entertaining comedy. FIR - Episode 801 - 28th September 2012

Stockholm --

A French-American pair shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for experiments on quantum particles that have already resulted in ultra-precise clocks and may one day help lead to computers many times faster than those in use today.

Serge Haroche of France and American David Wineland showed in the 1990s how to observe individual particles while preserving their bizarre quantum properties, something that scientists had struggled to do before.

A quantum particle is one that is isolated from everything else. In this situation, an atom or electron or photon takes on strange properties. It can be in two places at once, for example. It behaves in some ways like a wave. But these properties are instantly changed when it interacts with something else, such as when somebody observes it.

Working separately, the two scientists, both 68, developed "ingenious laboratory methods" that allowed them to manage and measure and control fragile quantum states, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.

Wineland traps ions - electrically charged atoms - and measures them with light, while Haroche controls and measures photons, or light particles.

"Their ground-breaking methods have enabled this field of research to take the very first steps toward building a new type of superfast computer based on quantum physics," the academy said. "The research has also led to the construction of extremely precise clocks that could become the future basis for a new standard of time."

Haroche is a professor at the College de France and Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. Wineland is a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, and the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado.

Haroche said quantum research could help make GPS navigating systems more accurate.

Quantum computers could radically change people's lives in the way that classical computers did last century, but a full-scale quantum computer is still decades away, the Nobel judges said.

Only two women have won the physics prize since it was first awarded in 1901: Marie Curie in 1903 and Maria Goeppert-Mayer in 1963.

The prizes are always handed out on Dec. 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel's death in 1896.
