A sensor that can withstand the crushing forces inside a diamond anvil cell

Posted on by Haptic

Since their invention more than 60 years ago, diamond anvil cells have made it possible for scientists to recreate extreme phenomena – such as the crushing pressures deep inside the Earth’s mantle – or to enable chemical reactions that can only be triggered by intense pressure, all within the confines of a laboratory apparatus that Read more about A sensor that can withstand the crushing forces inside a diamond anvil cell[…]

How memory could be boosted

Posted on by Haptic

The ability to remember sounds, and manipulate them in our minds, is incredibly important to our daily lives — without it we would not be able to understand a sentence, or do simple arithmetic. New research is shedding light on how sound memory works in the brain, and is even demonstrating a means to improve Read more about How memory could be boosted[…]

New magnetism research brings high-temp superconductivity applications closer

Posted on by Haptic

A research team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Argonne National Laboratory has discovered that only half the atoms in some iron-based superconductors are magnetic, providing a conclusive demonstration of the wave-like properties of metallic magnetism in these materials. The discovery allows for a clearer understanding of the magnetism in some compounds of Read more about New magnetism research brings high-temp superconductivity applications closer[…]
