Abstract:
Scientists on the hunt for an unconventional kind of superconductor have produced the most compelling evidence to date that they ve found one. In a pair of papers, researchers at the University of Maryland s (UMD) Quantum Materials Center (QMC) and colleagues have shown that uranium ditelluride (or UTe2 for short) displays many of the hallmarks of a topological superconductor a material that may unlock new ways to build quantum computers and other futuristic devices.

Last week’s news that the Associated Press had fired a young journalist because of her support for Palestinian rights while in college at Stanford broke Twitter.
The Stanford College Republicans (who had often railed about cancel culture) bragged about their successful cancelation of Emily Wilder, which seemed all the more appalling given that Israel had just bombed the AP office in Gaza.
