Fleeting fluctuations in superconductivity disappear close to transition temperature
UPTON, NY — As part of an ongoing effort to uncover details of how high-temperature superconductors carry electrical current with no resistance, scientists at Johns Hopkins University and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Labora…
Texas A&M professor helps develop first high-temp spin-field-effect transistor
COLLEGE STATION, Dec. 23, 2010 — An international team of researchers featuring Texas A&M University physicist Jairo Sinova has announced a breakthrough that gives a new spin to semiconductor nanoelectronics and the world of information technolog…
Eindhoven University builds affordable alternative to mega-laser X-FEL
Stanford University in the USA has an X-FEL (X-ray Free Electron Laser) with a pricetag of hundreds of millions. It provides images of ‘molecules in action’, using a kilometer-long electron accelerator. Researchers at Eindhoven University of T…
Theoretical breakthrough: Generating matter and antimatter from the vacuum
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Under just the right conditions—which involve an ultra-high-intensity laser beam and a two-mile-long particle accelerator—it could be possible to create something out of nothing, according to University of Michigan researche…
MIT researchers develop a way to funnel solar energy
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Using carbon nanotubes (hollow tubes of carbon atoms), MIT chemical engineers have found a way to concentrate solar energy 100 times more than a regular photovoltaic cell. Such nanotubes could form antennas that capture and focus …
