“First successful test of the particle accelerators of the future There is a good chance that soon a new door will open to physicists, offering them new insights into the mysteries of the universe. The international AWAKE collaboration has made …
“Scientists find a theoretical optical device may have uses in quantum computing. Nearly 150 years ago, the physicist James Maxwell proposed that a circular lens that is thickest at its center, and that gradually thins out at its edges, should …
News Hierarchical 3D printing of nanoporous gold could ‘revolutionize’ electrochemical reactor design
“Nanoporous metals are superior catalysts for chemical reactions due to their large surface area and high electrical conductivity, making them perfect candidates for applications such as electrochemical reactors, sensors and actuators. In a study published today in the journal Science …
“Six years after its discovery, the Higgs boson has at last been observed decaying to fundamental particles known as bottom quarks. The finding, presented today at CERN by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is …
“Permanent magnets used in electric cars and wind turbines currently contain rare earth metals. Reducing the amount of these elements in magnets is important, as mining them is harmful both to health and the environment. Researchers have now developed a …
“The dynamic programming language, which is free and open source, combines the speed and popular features of the best scientific and technical software. After years of tinkering, the dynamic programming language Julia 1.0 was officially released to the public …
“Serendipitous discovery could increase efficiency in jet engines, reduce plane noise, more A group of new smart materials discovered by researchers at Texas A&M University and their colleagues has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of fuel burn …
“Wood foam and metal sponge – can they be combined? That was the question that experts at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research, Wilhelm-Klauditz-Institut WKI delved into in a project entitled “HoMe Foam” – with HoMe being a German acronym for wood-metal …
“An international research team featuring scientists from the Terahertz Spectroscopy Lab at MIPT has made a direct observation of the Mott transition. In this phenomenon, the electrostatic repulsion of electrons in a metal causes it to lose the ability to …
“Researchers use acoustic forces to print droplets that couldn’t be printed before Harvard University researchers have developed a new printing method that uses soundwaves to generate droplets from liquids with an unprecedented range of composition and viscosity. This technique …
