Researchers have found a way to trigger the innate, but previously hidden, ability of graphene to act as a superconductor – meaning that it can be made to carry an electrical current with zero resistance. The finding, reported in Nature Communications, further enhances the potential of graphene, which is already widely seen as a material …
Recent developments in nanoscience have led to dramatic decreases in computer components size. The inherent property of such small-size systems is the impossibility of separation of the environment from the system under consideration. For this reason, the investigation of open and, in particular, non-Hermitian systems has been among the main topics of physics over the …
1. The Paris Climate Change Agreement crossed the first of two thresholds required for it to enter into force after 31 governments yesterday formally submitted their instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession. It is expected to cross the second threshold – ratification by countries representing a total of 55% of global emissions – later …

LLNL researchers are exploring the use of metal 3D printing to create strong, lightweight structures for advanced laser systems – an effort they say could alter the way lasers are designed in the future. In a Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program, physicist Ibo Matthews and his team are experimenting with a new research-based …
Physicists from MIPT and the Russian Quantum Center have developed a method which is going to make it easier to create a universal quantum computer — they have discovered a way of using multilevel quantum systems (qudits), each one of which is able to work with multiple “conventional” quantum elements — qubits. Professor Vladimir Man’ko, …
Flying at speeds over 70 mph, Teal is the world’s fastest production drone. It also flips, rolls, and dives as fast as your gut lets you, while staying stable in winds up to 40 mph. Teal is powered by the NVIDIA TX1, a crazy powerful mini supercomputer (teraFLOP processing power). It handles machine learning, autonomous …
Meyer Lansky came up with the quote, We’re bigger than U.S. Steel. The we refers to organized crime. Meyer Lansky (1902-1983), known as the “Mob’s Accountant”, was a major organized crime figure who, along with his associate Charles “Lucky” Luciano, was instrumental in the development of the “National Crime Syndicate” in the United States. The …
