In a Real-world Setting, Quantum Networking has reached a new level
A team from the United States Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Stanford University, and Purdue University created and demonstrated a novel, fully functional…
Metal 3D Printing was used to create an Extreme Heat Exchanger
Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another. As a result, they are used…
Overheating in Electronics could be cooling down by a New Nano-scale Discovery
A CU Boulder team of physicists has solved the mystery of a perplexing phenomenon in the nano realm: why some ultra-small heat sources cool down…
A Unique Look at a Single Catalyst Nanoparticle in Action
A DESY-led research team used high-intensity X-rays to study a single catalyst nanoparticle in action. The experiment demonstrated for the first time how the chemical…
Extreme States can be found in the Centers of Planets
Extreme states can be found at the cores of planets: temperatures in the thousands of degrees Celsius, pressures a million times greater than atmospheric pressure.…
Superconducting Properties could improved by Induced Flaws in Quantum Materials
A superconductor is a material capable of conducting electricity with no resistance. This means that when the conductors become superconductors below the critical temperature, there…
NASA and MIT Scientists United with Fringe Theorists Last Year to Defeat Gravity
What do you get when you put a group of Star Trek fans and fringe hobbyists in a virtual room with hundreds of working scientists…
Experimental Detector may have Spotted a New Type of Gravitational Waves
Gravitational waves are minute ripples in the fabric of space-time created by some of the universe’s most awe-inspiring occurrences, such as the colliding of two…
A Breakthrough in the Manipulation of Droplets
Manipulation of microscale particles and fluid liquid droplets is a critical task for lab-on-a-chip devices used in a variety of biological research and applications, including…
Chalcogenide Glasses can now be used at Visible and Ultraviolet Wavelengths
Electrical engineers have discovered that altering the physical shape of a class of materials commonly used in electronics allows them to be used in the…
Difference between Energy and Power
The capacity of an object to perform work is defined as its energy. Power, on the other hand, denotes the rate at which work is…
