How to Train Your Magnet

“New accelerator magnets are undergoing a rigorous training program to prepare them for the extreme conditions inside the upgraded Large Hadron Collider When training for a marathon, runners must gradually ramp up the distance of their runs. They know that …

Induced flaws in quantum materials could enhance superconducting properties

“In a surprising discovery, an international team of researchers, led by scientists in the University of Minnesota Center for Quantum Materials, found that deformations in quantum materials that cause imperfections in the crystal structure can actually improve the material’s …

ITMO Researchers Increase Productivity Using Smart Lighting

“You can’t help but notice that your mood and productivity depend on lighting. Many researchers study this phenomenon and ITMO scientists are no exception. Researchers from the Cognitive Non-Verbality Laboratory of ITMO University’s National Center for Cognitive Research …

Lightning in the water: Ultrafast X-ray provides new look at plasma discharge breakdown in water

“Lightning is fast, but how fast? A Laboratory collaboration recently turned to synchrotron X-rays for an answer. The story of the discovery of the connection between electricity and lightning is well-known—in the 1700s, Benjamin Franklin, unaware of the danger …

Liquid Metal Coating Creates Effective Antiviral, Antimicrobial Fabric

“An international team of researchers used liquid gallium to create an antiviral and antimicrobial coating and tested it on a range of fabrics, including facemasks. The coating adhered more strongly to fabric than some conventional metal coatings, and eradicated 99 …
