Surprising Stripes in a “Bad Metal” Offer Clues to High-Temperature Superconductivity

“Scientists measure subtle electronic fluctuations that could help pinpoint the mechanism behind high-temperature superconductors. High-temperature superconductivity offers perfect conveyance of electricity, but it does so at the price of extreme cold and an ever-elusive mechanism. If understood, scientists might push …

Tech researchers team up for advanced materials

“Ask Georgia Tech researchers working with advanced materials for examples, and they give a pop culture reference. Two of them even cite the same reference. “It’s like The Terminator, liquid metal that then becomes a solid,” says Alberto Fernandez-Nieves …

Astronomers Find Planet Hotter Than Most Stars

“A newly discovered Jupiter-like world is so hot, it’s being vaporized by its own star. With a dayside temperature of more than 7,800 degrees Fahrenheit (4,600 Kelvin), KELT-9b is a planet that is hotter than most …

Engineer Unveils New Spin on Future of Transistors with Novel Design

“A researcher with the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at UT Dallas has designed a novel computing system made solely from carbon that might one day replace the silicon transistors that power today’s electronic devices. “The …

First Developmental Flight of India’s GSLV MkIII Successfully launches GSAT-19 Satellite

“The first developmental flight (GSLV MkIII-D1) of India’s heavy lift launch vehicle GSLV Mk-III was successfully conducted today (June 05, 2017) evening from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota with the launch of GSAT-19 satellite. This was …

Giving robots a sense of touch

“Eight years ago, Ted Adelson’s research group at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) unveiled a new sensor technology, called GelSight, that uses physical contact with an object to provide a remarkably detailed 3-D map of …

IBM Research Alliance Builds New Transistor for 5nm Technology

“IBM, its Research Alliance partners GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Samsung, and equipment suppliers have developed an industry-first process to build silicon nanosheet transistors that will enable 5 nanometer (nm) chips. The details of the process will be presented at the 2017 Symposia …

Microsoft, Purdue collaborate to advance quantum computing

“That’s the forecast of Michael Manfra, Purdue University’s Bill and Dee O’Brien Chair Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Professor of Materials Engineering and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, on a new long-term enhanced collaboration between Purdue …

New ways of representing information could transform digital technology

“Many people who use computers and other digital devices are aware that all the words and images displayed on their monitors boil down to a sequence of ones and zeros. But few likely appreciate what is behind those ones and …

Oscillation instead of free fall – Science paper for Rudolf Mößbauer Tenure Track Professor Michael Knap

“In the quantum world, our intuition for moving objects is strongly challenged and may sometimes even completely fail. An international team of physicists of the Universities of Innsbruck, Paris-Sud and Harvard as well as the Technical University of Munich (TUM …
