Scientists Enter Unexplored Territory in Superconductivity Search

“Combo of experimental techniques plots points in previously unmapped region of a high-temperature superconductor’s “phase diagram.” Scientists mapping out the quantum characteristics of superconductors—materials that conduct electricity with no energy loss—have entered a new regime. Using newly …

Stretched Quantum Magnetism Uncovered by Quantum Simulation

“By studying ultracold atoms trapped in artificial crystals of light, Guillaume Salomon, a postdoc at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics and a team of scientists have been able to directly observe a fundamental effect of one-dimensional quantum systems. By detecting …

“Sun in a box” would store renewable energy for the grid

“Design for system that provides solar- or wind-generated power on demand should be cheaper than other leading options. MIT engineers have come up with a conceptual design for a system to store renewable energy, such as solar and wind power …

Supercomputers without waste heat

“Physicists from the University of Konstanz explore superconductivity for information processing Generally speaking, magnetism and the lossless flow of electrical current (“superconductivity”) are competing phenomena that cannot coexist in the same sample. However, for building supercomputers, synergetically combining both states …

Terahertz laser for sensing and imaging outperforms its predecessors

“High-power, tunable design could be used for chemical detection in outer space, medical imaging, more. A terahertz laser designed by MIT researchers is the first to reach three key performance goals at once — high constant power, tight beam pattern, and …

Tiny bubbles break each other up

“Rice University engineers demonstrate mechanics of making foam with bubbles in distinct sizes It’s easy to make bubbles, but try making hundreds of thousands of them a minute – all the same size. Rice University engineers can do that and …

Two-dimensional materials skip the energy barrier by growing one row at a time

“Confirming a century-old prediction could help scientists construct new classes of materials A new collaborative study led by a research team at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and University of California, Los Angeles could provide engineers …

World’s smallest wearable device warns of UV exposure, enables precision phototherapy

“Smaller than an M&M and thinner than a credit card, device can optimize treatment of neonatal jaundice, skin diseases, seasonal affective disorder and reduce risk of sunburns and skin cancer. The world’s smallest wearable, battery-free device has been …

2 kids get artificial limbs using 3D printing facility at Kasturba Hospital

“Two children with deformities have received artificial limb printed (manufactured) at “ Hastha” Department of Orthopaedics, Kasturba Hospital, Manipal. The revolutionary 3D printing facility for artificial limb manufacturing at “Hastha” was inaugurated by Dr. H. Vinod Bhat, Vice Chancellor, MAHE, Manipal …

A new light on significantly faster computer memory devices

“In an article published online today in Science Advances, a team of scientists from Arizona State University’s School of Molecular Sciences and Germany offer an explanation of how a particular phase-change memory (PCM) material can work a thousand times …
