Found: Most Distant Black Hole

“ Scientists have uncovered a rare relic from the early universe: the farthest known supermassive black hole. This matter-eating beast is 800 million times the mass of our Sun, which is astonishingly large for its young age. Researchers report the find …

Google’s Quantum Simulator Gets Real Trippy And Generates A Butterfly

“Right when you thought quantum simulators could only crunch numbers, they throw on a drug rug and start making tapestries. This psychedelic image isn’t just something to stare at after a couple of bong rips. It’s called the …

‘Magnetoelectric’ material shows promise as memory for electronics

“Smartphones and computers wouldn’t be nearly as useful without room for lots of apps, music and videos. Devices tend to store that information in two ways: through electric fields (think of a flash drive) or through magnetic fields (like …

“We are pleased to announce the Mbed OS 5.6.6 release is now available. This is the latest patch release based on the feature set introduced by Mbed OS 5.6. Summary This patch release includes new target support …

Researchers develop graphene nano ‘tweezers’ that can grab individual biomolecules

“Discovery could lead to revolutionary handheld disease diagnostic system Researchers from the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering have found yet another remarkable use for the wonder material graphene—tiny electronic “tweezers” that can grab biomolecules floating in …

Study Confirms that Cuprate Materials Have Fluctuating Stripes that May Be Linked to High-temperature Superconductivity

“These stripes of electron spin and charge are exciting because of their possible link to a phenomenon that could transform society by making electrical transmission nearly 100 percent efficient. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory …

Watching a Quantum Material Lose Its Stripes

“Stripes can be found everywhere, from zebras roaming in the wild to the latest fashion statement. In the world of microscopic physics, periodic stripe patterns can be formed by electrons within so-called quantum materials. Scientists at the Department of Energy …

A space-time sensor for light-matter interactions

“LMU-Physicists have developed an attosecond electron microscope that allows them to visualize the dispersion of light in time and space, and observe the motions of electrons in atoms. The most basic of all physical interactions in nature is that …

Engineers 3-D print a “living tattoo”

“New technique 3-D prints programmed cells into living devices for first time. MIT engineers have devised a 3-D printing technique that uses a new kind of ink made from genetically programmed living cells. The cells are engineered to light up …

Panasonic Develops Unique Vacuum Insulated Glass Based on Its Plasma Display Panel Technology

“Panasonic Corporation today announced it has developed and succeeded in mass production of thin, high-performance vacuum insulated glass by applying technologies the company accumulated in the development and manufacturing of plasma display panels (PDPs). The glass achieves a heat transfer …
