Trilayer Graphene Could Decode Secrets of High-Temperature Superconductivity
The breakthrough
discovered
that when an ultrathin carbon layer, known as graphene, is stacked together and twisted to a magic angle, that novel double-layered structure changes into a superconductor, enabling electricity to flow without energy waste or any kind of resistance.

In what seemed to be a literal twist, Harvard University researchers have now taken that superconducting system to a whole new level by adding a third layer and rotating it, paving the way for continued developments in graphene-based superconductivity.
Polymers Made from Lipoic Acid Fully Depolymerize Under Mild Conditions
Written by AZoMFeb 5 2021
In this modern age, plastics are one of the most successful materials. But they also contribute to a huge problem of waste.
Scientists from the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) and the East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) in Shanghai produced different polymers from lipoic acid, a natural molecule. These polymers are easily depolymerized under mild conditions. Some 87% of the monomers can be recovered in their pure form and re-used to make new polymers of virgin quality. Image Credit: Qi Zhang
Researchers from the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) and the East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) in Shanghai generated various polymers from lipoic acid, which is a natural molecule.

Despite being lauded as a digital posterchild, Estonia’s e-governance fell short during the Covid-19 crisis. Its Baltic neighbours, Latvia and Lithuania, fared no better. Keegan McBride reports.
This digital governance excellence, combined with low rates of Covid-19 in the so called ‘Baltic Bubble’ during the first wave of the pandemic, created an international story that if only governments were digital then they too could handle and manage the pandemic better.
While Estonia was the most active in marketing this idea abroad, both Latvia and Lithuania have also proudly presented their digital response to the pandemic.
