Researchers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and Lehigh University have developed a nanostructured copper alloy (Cu-Ta-Li) with exceptional thermal stability and mechanical strength, potentially redefining high-temperature materials for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. This groundbreaking alloy is one of the most resilient copper-based materials ever created. The research, supported by a $25 million cooperative […]
Rice University researchers have directly observed a superradiant phase transition (SRPT), a quantum phenomenon predicted over 50 years ago, which could revolutionize quantum computing, communication, and sensing. This occurs when quantum particles fluctuate collectively without external triggers, forming a new state of matter. The discovery was made in a crystal of erbium, iron, and oxygen, […]
Today’s technology, from computer chips to camera image sensors, relies heavily on silicon semiconductors, which have been shrinking for decades. However, physical limitations will soon halt further advancements. Consequently, scientists and engineers are developing a new generation of technology based on quantum mechanics. Electrons in “quantum materials” exhibit unique behaviors, such as magnetism and superconductivity, […]
LIFT, a Department of Defense-supported national advanced materials manufacturing innovation institute, has opened the Advanced Metallic Production and Processing (AMPP) Center in Detroit’s Corktown district. This facility will enhance the U.S. industrial base by accelerating the design, development, and deployment of novel metallic materials, addressing a critical gap in defense manufacturing. By producing metals across […]
In this video, see the new Enhanced Remote Tools for Bruker AXS service, which combines advanced software and hardware with augmented reality technology to enable faster, more efficient initial problem diagnosis and technical support by connecting customers’ smart devices with global helpdesk engineers.
