Technology
Measuring extremely faint magnetic fields with a minuscule instrument
A new SQUID for nanostructures.
Science
Scientists discovered superconducting currents traveling along the outer edges of a superconductor
Scientists at Princeton University have detected superconducting currents along the exterior edge of a superconducting material. This discovery indicates a pathway for topological superconductivity...
Science
Measuring strong magnetic fields using neutrons
In the future, it will be possible to measure the fields of magnets that are already installed in devices and thus are inaccessible by other probing techniques.
Space
Astrophysical shock phenomena reproduced in the laboratory
The lab-scale experiment could help scientists understand interstellar and galactic-scale smashups.
Robotics
Researchers Control Soft Robots Using Magnetic Fields
Conventional robotic grippers struggle to handle items that are delicate and of varying size, shape, and weight. So, scientists had built soft robotic grippers...
