Superconducting transformers for the grid

Superconductivity (the ability to conduct electricity without loss of energy – no resistance) is still one of those relatively mysterious properties of some materials that scientists continually test. Some try to find new superconducting materials. Some research materials that become superconducting at higher temperatures (most materials need to be cooled to nearly absolute zero). Others [...]

Breakthrough will lead to further entanglements

The title of this post, “Breakthrough will lead to further entanglements” should be taken literally…and figuratively. An experiment by L. G. Herrmann in France, working with colleagues in France, Spain, and Germany, and published in Physical Review Letters has demonstrated for the first time in a solid state device the property of quantum mechanics called [...]
