Houston TX (SPX) May 19, 2023
Extreme environments in several critical industries - aerospace, energy, transportation and defense - require sensors to measure and monitor numerous factors under harsh conditions to ensure human safety and integrity of mechanical systems. In the petrochemical industry, for example, pipeline pressures must be monitored at climates ranging from hot desert heat to near arctic cold. Various

Klosterneuburg, Austria (SPX) May 19, 2023
Quantum computers promise to solve challenging tasks in material science and cryptography that will remain out of reach even for the most powerful conventional supercomputers in the future. Yet, this will likely require millions of high-quality qubits due to the required error correction. Progress in superconducting processors advances quickly with a current qubit count in the few hundreds

Demystifying vortex rings in nuclear fusion, supernovae
Write a comment
Ann Arbor MA (SPX) May 19, 2023
Better understanding the formation of swirling, ring-shaped disturbances - known as vortex rings - could help nuclear fusion researchers compress fuel more efficiently, bringing it closer to becoming a viable energy source. The model developed by researchers at the University of Michigan could aid in the design of the fuel capsule, minimizing the energy lost while trying to ignite the reac

A better way to study ocean currents
Write a comment
Boston MA (SPX) May 19, 2023
To study ocean currents, scientists release GPS-tagged buoys in the ocean and record their velocities to reconstruct the currents that transport them. These buoy data are also used to identify "divergences," which are areas where water rises up from below the surface or sinks beneath it. By accurately predicting currents and pinpointing divergences, scientists can more precisely forecast t

Boston MA (SPX) May 19, 2023
The materials key to many important applications in aerospace and energy generation must be able to withstand extreme conditions such as high temperatures and tensile stresses without failing. Now a team of MIT-led engineers reports a simple, inexpensive way to strengthen one of the key materials used today in such applications. Further, the team believes that their general approach, which
