Roughly one billion cars and trucks zoom about the world’s roadways. Only a few run on hydrogen. This could change after a breakthrough achieved by researchers at the University of Copenhagen. The breakthrough? A new catalyst that can be used to produce cheaper and far more sustainable hydrogen powered vehicles. Hydrogen vehicles are a rare Read more about A paradigm shift for hydrogen vehicles[…]
COMPUTER SCIENCE Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980’s. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem and had just given away much of the solution in a research article. The Read more about Solving a math riddle from the 1980’s could be used for computer electronics[…]
Due to magnetism iron should – theoretically – be a poor superconductor. Nevertheless certain ironbased materials possess fine superconducting properties. Why? Because the five unbound electrons found in iron – as a result of individual modes of operation, it turns out – facilitate superconductivity. This new, long sought-for explanation – appearing in this weeks issue Read more about Iron secrets behind superconductors unlocked[…]
All light sources work by absorbing energy – for example, from an electric current – and emit energy as light. But the energy can also be lost as heat and it is therefore important that the light sources emit the light as quickly as possible, before the energy is lost as heat. Superfast light sources Read more about Superfast light source made from artificial atom[…]
