| Moments of silence point the way towards better superconductors Posted: 20 Dec 2021 09:06 AM PST High-precision measurements have provided important clues about processes that impair the efficiency of superconductors. Future work building on this research could offer improvements in a range of superconductor devices, such quantum computers and sensitive particle detectors. |
| Using sparse data to predict lab earthquakes Posted: 17 Dec 2021 02:28 PM PST A machine-learning approach developed for sparse data reliably predicts fault slip in laboratory earthquakes and could be key to predicting fault slip and potentially earthquakes in the field. |
| Using ergonomics to reduce pain from technology use Posted: 17 Dec 2021 09:38 AM PST The use of smartphones, tablets and laptops has become commonplace throughout the world and has been especially prevalent among college students. Recent studies have found that college students have higher levels of screen time, and they utilize multiple devices at higher rates compared to previous generations. |
| Redrawing the lines: Growing inexpensive, high-quality iron-based superconductors Posted: 17 Dec 2021 07:28 AM PST Superconducting materials show zero electrical resistance at low temperatures, which allows them to conduct 'supercurrents' without dissipation. Recently, a group of scientists developed an inexpensive, scalable way to produce high-temperature superconductors using 'grain boundary engineering' techniques. The new method could help develop stronger, inexpensive, and high operating temperature superconductors with impactful technological applications. |
| Rollercoaster of emotions: Exploring emotions with virtual reality Posted: 17 Dec 2021 07:28 AM PST To the left and right, the landscape drifts idly by, the track in front of you. Suddenly, a fire. The tension builds. The ride reaches its highest point. Only one thing lies ahead: the abyss. Plummeting down into the depths of the earth. These are scenes of a rollercoaster ride as experienced by participants in a recent study. However, not in real life, but virtually, with the help of virtual reality (VR) glasses. The aim of the research was to find out what happens in participants' brains while they experience emotionally engaging situations. |
| Posted: 16 Dec 2021 12:00 PM PST Researchers have pioneered a new fabrication technique that enables them to produce low-voltage, power-dense, high endurance soft actuators for an aerial microrobot. These artificial muscles vastly improve the robot's payload and allow it to achieve best-in-class hovering performance. |
