“Predictions lay groundwork for experiments to create ‘Weyl-Kondo semimetal’ U.S. and European physicists searching for an explanation for high-temperature superconductivity were surprised when their theoretical model pointed to the existence of a never-before-seen material in a different realm of …
“Before scientists can effectively capture and deploy fusion energy, they must learn to predict major disruptions that can halt fusion reactions and damage the walls of doughnut-shaped fusion devices called tokamaks. Timely prediction of disruptions, the sudden loss of control …
“Carbon nanotubes are extremely lightweight, electrically highly conductive, and more stable than steel. Due to their unique properties, they are ideal for numerous applications, including ultra-lightweight batteries, high-performance plastics and medical implants. However, to date, it has been difficult for …
“A group of scientists led by Professor Mark Sadgrove at Tohoku University’s Research Institute for Electrical Communications (RIEC) has revealed a fundamental aspect of chirality of light in ultra-thin optical fiber. Nanofibers using the chiral property may be important …
“A reimagining of today’s computer chips by UNSW engineers shows how a quantum computer can be manufactured – using mostly standard silicon technology. A reimagining of today’s computer chips by Australian and Dutch engineers shows how a quantum computer …
“A KAIST research team observed a new quantum mechanical magnetic state ‘Jeff = 3/2.’ This first observation of ‘Jeff=3/2’ could be the foundation for future research on superconductivity and quantum magnetism. In quantum mechanics, total angular momentum is …
News Scientists Discover Process for Transitioning Two-Layer Graphene into a Diamond-Hard Material on Impact
“The innovation could enable development of a range of flexible, impenetrable materials capable of protecting the body and fragile objects Imagine a material as flexible and lightweight as foil that becomes stiff and hard enough to stop a bullet on …
“Imagine that instead of switching on a lamp when it gets dark, you could read by the light of a glowing plant on your desk. MIT engineers have taken a critical first step toward making that vision a reality. By …
“The Arm Mbed OS 5.7.0 release helps to further simplify the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded product development with the addition of several new features, such as the high-integrity embedded file system, which provides power loss resilient …
“Researchers have experimentally demonstrated how to harness a property called negative capacitance for a new type of transistor that could reduce power consumption, validating a theory proposed in 2008 by a team at Purdue University. The researchers used an extremely …
