- 22/07/2021 Invisible graphene veil protects paintings from fading A transparent layer of graphene, just a few atoms thick, can prevent pigments in paintings from fading by protecting them from ultraviolet light, moisture and air pollutants.
- 21/07/2021 Using ultra-low temperatures to understand high-temperature superconductivity A surprising discovery at TU Wien could help solve the riddle of high-temperature superconductivity: A famous "strange metal" turned out to be a superconductor.
- 15/07/2021 New 3D printable phase-changing composites can regulate temperatures inside buildings Changing climate patterns have left millions of people vulnerable to weather extremes. As temperature fluctuations become more commonplace around the world, conventional power-guzzling cooling and heating systems need a more innovative, energy-efficient alternative, and in turn, lessen the burden on already struggling power grids.
- 13/07/2021 A new theory of superconductivity A scientist from the Division of Quantum Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Tsukuba has formulated a new theory of superconductivity. Based on the calculation of the 'Berry connection', this model helps explain new experimental results better than the current theory. The work may allow future electrical grids to send energy without losses.
