The Hub - Johns Hopkins University: When Johns Hopkins University announced that in-person classes were suspended for the 2020 fall semester, Helena Hahn was disappointed. A fourth-year undergraduate student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a member of Professor James West’s lab,…
C&EN: Every year, C&EN highlights 10 start-ups developing potentially world-changing chemistry innovations. And while 2020 has felt unlike any other year, the drive of science-based entrepreneurs to bring technologies that benefit people, the environment, and the economy to market hasn’t…
Wired: IN THE INTRO to the HBO sci-fi series Westworld, a 3D printer churns out humanoid robots, delicately assembling the incredible complexities of the human form so that those robots can go on to—spoiler alert—do naughty things. It takes a…
Chemistry World: A pulsating polymer gel has been used to make sheets that can ripple in a similar way to a muscle contracting. The work could aid the development of autonomous soft machines with life-like actuators for locomotion. Self-oscillating Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ)…
Physics World: Superconducting materials are traditionally classed into two types: s-wave and d-wave. A third type, p-wave, has long been predicted. Now, however, researchers in the US, Germany and Japan say they may have discovered a fourth, unexpected type of superconductor: g-wave. The result, obtained thanks to high-precision resonant ultrasound…
