Database of H98y2 and fGr for DIII-D discharges. More than 3,600 discharges are included. Violet diamonds show high-βP experiments performed in 2019 with impurity injection. Blue squares are the new high-βP experiments performed in 2022 without impurity injection. Yellow circles represent all other experiments performed in 2019–2022. The area shaded in orange indicates the parameter […]
A laser beam hits thorium nuclei, embedded in a crystal. Credit: Tu Wien Physicists have been hoping for this moment for a long time: For many years, scientists all around the world have been searching for a very specific state of thorium atomic nuclei that promises revolutionary technological applications. It could be used, for example, […]
From deep-earth exploration to the depths of space, discover how this durable technology could power the future of AI and beyond. When smartphones shut down during a beach day, it’s typically due to their electronic components failing to withstand the heat. This failure occurs because the memory chips aren’t designed to handle extreme temperatures, causing […]
In today’s electronics market, the surge of counterfeit electronic components poses escalating challenges for manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers. Driven by complex global supply chains and rising demand for cost-effective alternatives, this trend threatens not only financial stability but also safety and reliability. Detecting and mitigating these counterfeit components has become crucial. The risks associated with […]
This is where the Swedish qubits are going | The Canadian underground laboratory SNOLAB has the world’s lowest flux of muons – particles formed when cosmic rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere – and advanced testing capabilities that make it an ideal locatio.

By varying the chemical environment of the surface and applying electric fields from the scanning tunneling microscope tip, the authors can switch the material from a Mott insulator (with an energy gap) to an electrical conductor (without an energy gap). Credit: FLEET An Australian-led study has found unusual insulating behavior in a new atomically-thin material—and […]
Millions of industrial robots are active in Industry 4.0 factories around the world. They are used to increase production rates, improve quality, reduce costs, and support more flexible and sustainable operations. Because of the importance of industrial robots, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed standard 8373:2021, Robotics Vocabulary, to define terms used in robotics […]
Triad Semiconductor, Inc., a pioneer in analog mixed-signal integrated circuit designs, has announced the opening of its new design centre located in the heart of Pocatello, Idaho. Nestled within The Sterling Building at 353 North Fourth Avenue, the facility began operations in early April, marking a significant stride in Triad’s ongoing pursuit of growth and […]
