Research Sheds Light on Electronic Properties of Unconventional Topological Superconductor

Since the discovery two decades ago of the unconventional topological superconductor Sr2RuO4, scientists have extensively investigated its properties at temperatures below its 1°K critical temperature (Tc), at which a phase transition from a metal to a superconducting state occurs.

Research Reveals that Distance at Which Supernova Would Spark Mass Extinctions Increased

In 2016, researchers published “slam dunk” evidence, based on iron-60 isotopes in ancient seabed, that supernovae buffeted the Earth — one of them about 2.6 million years ago. University of Kansas researcher Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy, supported those findings in Nature with an associated letter, titled “Supernovae in the neighborhood.”

Scientists Get Closer to Using Quantum Computing Instead of Traditional Computing

In the last six decades, computers have become faster, compact, and cheaper. However, for engineers, the options have almost saturated for how small the silicon transistors can be made and how fast they can transfer electricity via devices to form digital ones and zeros.

NASA's NuSTAR Telescope Observes Enshrouding of Black Holes by Galaxy Mergers

In popular culture, black holes get a bad rap for swallowing everything existing in their environments. In reality, dust, gas and starts are capable of orbiting black holes for prolonged time periods, until the material is pushed in by a major disruption.

IBM Q Quantum System is Sure to Revolutionize the Field of Quantum Computing

Although technologies such as Watson that at present run on classical computers can assist in finding insights and patterns hidden in huge amounts of prevailing data, quantum computers have the ability to provide solutions to significant challenges in which patterns cannot be observed as the data are not available and the probabilities of having to investigate to obtain the answer are highly extensive to be processed by classical computers at any point in time.

Researchers Discover the Existence of Graphene's Electrons in Andreev States

In the case of copper and silver, which are normal conductive materials, there are differing degrees of resistance to the flow of electric current. These resistances are caused by individual electrons that generate defects, thereby dissipating energy when they move.

VISTA Provides Clear Picture of the Small Magellanic Cloud Galaxy

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a dwarf galaxy considered to be the more petite twin of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). These are two of the closest galaxy neighbors in space with the SMC located about 200 000 light-years away, just a twelfth of the distance to the more famous Andromeda Galaxy.
