In the last few decades, the speed of computers has increased, and storage chips and hard disks have attained tremendous capacities. However, there have been physical limits restricting silicon-based computer technology from achieving any remarkable speed gains from the current level.
A team of researchers has demonstrated that particular superconductors can also carry currents of ‘spin’. The successful combination of superconductivity and spin could result in a revolution in high-performance computing, by greatly minimizing energy consumption.
Fourteen new coloring agents have been synthesized with solvatochromic properties, i.e. their color changes according to the type of plastic they are applied on or the substance in which they dissolve.
A researcher has designed a smooth, durable, clear coating that quickly sheds oils, water, alcohols, as well as peanut butter. This indeed could be a step towards grime-proof camera lenses, phone screens, countertops, and numerous other daily items.
Using the same technology as facial recognition, researchers have successfully developed chiral crystals. This is the first research reporting the use of this technology, known as logistic regression analysis, to predict which chemical groups are ideal for creating chiral molecules.
Researchers could observe the minutest details of hydrogen production using pentlandite, a synthetic mineral. This enables the development of approaches for designing cost-efficient and rugged catalysts for hydrogen production.
Metamaterials researchers from the Duke University have shown the design and structure of a thin material that can regulate the redirection and reflection of sound waves with nearly flawless efficiency.
For years, physicists have predicted that the fundamental quantum states superconductivity and superinsulation occur as mirrored reflections of one another, and a new study published in Scientific Reports has validated this prediction.
Researchers have demonstrated the high-temperature superconductivity of actinium hydrides and discovered a general principle for calculating the superconductivity of hydrides based on the periodic table.
An international team of scientists jointly discovered the chemical composition, crystal structure, and properties of Na2B30 ‒ a compound that remains stable at standard conditions and has long been the subject of heated debate.
