Breakthrough in deciphering birth of supermassive black holes

“A research team led by Cardiff University scientists say they are closer to understanding how a supermassive black hole (SMBH) is born thanks to a new technique that has enabled them to zoom in on one of these enigmatic cosmic …

Building a Better Battery - Faster

“Machine learning helps researchers and developers design lithium-metal batteries Battery experts at PNNL and elsewhere focus on developing rechargeable lithium-metal batteries because of their high energy density. Lithium-metal batteries have the potential to double the energy of lithium-ion batteries commonly …

Cherned up to the maximum

“In topological materials, electrons can display behaviour that is fundamentally different from that in ‘conventional’ matter, and the magnitude of many such ‘exotic’ phenomena is directly proportional to an entity known as the Chern number. New experiments establish for the …

Don’t miss Comet NEOWISE in the evening sky now. It won’t be back for 6,800 years.

“An amazing comet that thrilled early-morning stargazers earlier this month is now visible in the evening sky, and it’s a sight you won’t want to miss. After all, this comet won’t be back for 6,800 years …

Fermilab achieves 14.5-tesla field for accelerator magnet, setting new world record

“The Fermilab magnet team has done it again. After setting a world record for an accelerator magnet in 2019, they have broken it a year later. In a June 2020 test, a demonstrator magnet designed and built by the magnet …

Innovations in science and engineering lead to 3D printed latex rubber breakthrough

“Virginia Tech researchers have discovered a novel process to 3D print latex rubber, unlocking the ability to print a variety of elastic materials with complex geometric shapes. Latex, commonly known as the material in gloves or paint, refers to a …

JEDEC Publishes New DDR5 Standard for Advancing Next-Generation High Performance Computing Systems

“JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, the global leader in the development of standards for the microelectronics industry, today announced the publication of the widely-anticipated JESD79-5 DDR5 SDRAM standard. The standard addresses demand requirements being driven by intensive cloud and …

Lab Resolves Origin Of Perovskite Instability

“Researchers in the Cava Group have demystified the reasons for instability in an inorganic perovskite that has attracted wide attention for its potential in creating highly efficient solar cells. Using single crystal X-ray diffraction performed at Princeton University and X-ray …

Letting robots manipulate cables

“Robotic gripper with soft sensitive fingers developed at MIT can handle cables with unprecedented dexterity. For humans, it can be challenging to manipulate thin flexible objects like ropes, wires, or cables. But if these problems are hard for humans, they …

Liquid crystal integrated metalens for versatile color focus

“Researchers integrated photo-patterned liquid crystal into a dielectric metasurface to achieve achromatic and chromatic focusing with a single metalens. The development of metasurfaces opened a horizon for the advance of planar optics. Among various metadevices, the metalens has attracted widespread …
