Major discovery in controlling quantum states of single atoms (10/04/2018)
The
scientists identified which mechanisms destroy the quantum properties of
individual insulator. Using a Scanning Tunneling Microscope, which utilizes an
atomically sharp metal tip, they were able to precisely image individual iron
atoms and measure and control the time that the iron atom can maintain its
quantum behavior.
Printing of flexible, stretchable silver nanowire circuits (10/04/2018)
Researchers
have developed a new technique that allows them to print circuits on flexible,
stretchable substrates using silver nanowires. The advance makes it possible to
integrate the material into a wide array of electronic devices.
Ag robot speeds data collection, analyses of crops as they grow (10/04/2018)
A
new lightweight, low-cost agricultural robot could transform data collection
and field scouting for agronomists, seed companies and farmers. The TerraSentia
crop phenotyping robot measures the traits of individual plants using a variety
of sensors, including cameras, transmitting the data in real time to the
operator's phone or laptop computer.
A different spin on superconductivity (10/04/2018)
Researchers
have seen exotic superconductivity that relies on highly unusual electron
interactions. While predicted to occur in other non-material systems, this type
of behavior has remained elusive. The team's research reveals effects that are
profoundly different from anything that has been seen before with
superconductivity.
