Researchers have long sought to make semiconductors—essential for computer chips and solar cells—function as superconductors, which can carry electricity without resistance for faster, more efficient performance. This has been difficult because it requires a precise atomic structure that enables free electron movement. Now, an international team has achieved a breakthrough by creating a form of […]
Shimadzu Corporation, Japan, launched the inspeXio 7000 microfocus X-ray CT system, a high-end industrial model that builds on the high-resolution, high-contrast imaging capabilities of its predecessor while offering improved image quality through new scanning modes and a larger maximum sample capacity.
Allium Engineering, Billerica, Mass., founded by two MIT PhDs, is tripling the lifetime of bridges and other structures with a new technology that uses a stainless steel cladding to make rebar resilient to corrosion.
This is video from Sawblade University describes Tantalum and its heat treatment. Tantalum is an exotic metal commonly used in the healthcare industry. It is hard, dense, and ductile, but also easily machined – a rarity when it comes to exotic metals.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming everything from national security to scientific research. This video explores how Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is leading the charge with decades of AI experience, cutting-edge supercomputing, and a new National Security AI Office driving innovation across government, industry, and academia.
