The energy needed to expel an electron from a material is a fundamental characteristic that governs electron flow and is a crucial consideration in device design.

X-ray technology plays a vital role in medicine and scientific research, providing non-invasive medical imaging and insight into materials.

MIT researchers found evidence that topology can stabilize magnetic ordering, even well above the point at which magnetism normally breaks down. Their work reveals how topological structures known as Weyl nodes found in an exotic semi-metal can significantly increase the working temperature for magnetic devices.

Despite growing international competition, appropriations for research agencies have fallen quite short of the CHIPS and Science targets.
