This year, heat waves, floods, and hurricanes left a sobering impact on the planet. Climate models say these events will occur more often and with increasing severity as Earth’s overall temperatures ...

Sandia National Laboratories has designed a faster, more accurate style of test for quantum computers, such as the one pictured here. Credit: Bret Latter, Sandia National Laboratories What does a quan...

The apparatus consisted of a micron-scale aluminium superconductor separated from a normal conductor – metallic copper – by a thin insulating layer. When Cooper pairs in the superconductor broke, th...

Six different zwitterions all strongly increase the dielectric constant of soft matter (here demonstrated in ethylene glycol solutions). The 3-carbon propyl spacer connecting anion and cation has a sm...

The Argonne Gas-Filled Separator (AGFA) at Argonne National Laboratory's ATLAS facility. The Gammasphere array for HPGe detectors, which is also shown, was not used in this work, but will be a key com...

Schematic illustration of how vortices are pinned by low-angle grain boundaries in a (Ba,K)Fe2As2 superconductor. The pinning force density Fp of (Ba,K)Fe2As2 thin film fabricated in this study is alm...

Yavuz Oz, a postdoctoral researcher at the FSU-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, works on the next generation of superconducting magnets are getting more powerful every day and ha...
