“Looking only at their subatomic particles, most materials can be placed into one of two categories. Metals — like copper and iron — have free-flowing electrons that allow them to conduct electricity, while insulators — like glass and rubbe r — keep their electrons …
“Simple-to-implement approach boosts accuracy and efficiency of creating 3D engineered tissue scaffolds A new way to monitor two-photon lithography nanoscale fabrication could help improve the accuracy and efficiency of creating 3D engineered tissue scaffolds, according to a new study. Tissue …
News Researchers show how to increase X-ray laser brightness and power using a crystal cavity and diamond mirrors
“The long – but not too long – cavity would ping-pong X-ray pulses inside of a particle accelerator facility to help capture nature’s fastest movements. At particle accelerator facilities around the world, scientists rely on powerful X-rays to reveal the structure …
News Researchers use commercial quantum computer to identify molecular candidate for development of more efficient solar cells
“Using the full capabilities of the Quantinuum H1-1 quantum computer, researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory not only demonstrated best practices for scientific computing on current quantum systems but also produced an intriguing scientific result …
“Single-photon imaging technique could be useful for biomedical and security applications Researchers have reported the first 3D measurements acquired with quantum ghost imaging. The new technique enables 3D imaging on a single photon level, yielding the lowest photon dose possible …
“Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a robotic gripping device that is gentle enough to pick up a drop of water, strong enough to pick up a 6.4 kilogram (14.1 pound) weight, dexterous enough to fold …
“Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, a team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, without …
“Among the cargo headed to the International Space Station is an upgrade for NASA’s quantum physics facility, the Cold Atom Lab. A Northrop Grumman Cygnus resupply spacecraft is on its way to the International Space Station with more than …
“An international team of scientists led by the University of Southampton has discovered that the breakup of tectonic plates is the main driving force behind the generation and eruption of diamond-rich magmas from deep inside the Earth. Their findings could …
“By fine-tuning the spin density in some materials, researchers may be able to develop new quantum sensors or quantum simulations. Electronic devices typically use the charge of electrons, but spin — their other degree of freedom — is starting to be exploited …
