This ‘beautiful’ herringbone-like pattern could give rise to unique features that scientists are just starting to explore.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced awards totaling more than $68 million that will go to 53 small businesses that are solving scientific problems.
If scaled up successfully, the team's new system could help answer questions about certain kinds of superconductors and other unusual states of matter.
Small-displacement turbocharged internal combustion engines can experience "knock" without suffering lasting damage. Knock happens when the fuel ignites earlier than expected. Much more damaging is "super-knock." Unlike normal knock, super-knock is caused by a detonation wave due to a feedback loop between the heat release associated with the flame and pressure inside an engine cylinder.
A new type of analog quantum computer has been invented that can tackle physics problems that digital supercomputers can't solve.
