Scientists Discover Hidden Superconducting Patterns Inside Diamond

Diamond’s importance in science extends far beyond its brilliance and luxury appeal. Researchers value the material for its exceptional hardness, remarkable ability to conduct heat, and transparency across much of the light spectrum. About 20 years ago, scientists uncovered another surprising property: under specific conditions, diamond can behave as a superconductor, allowing electrical current to […]

Using chirality for faster, smaller, and more efficient data storage devices

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are pursuing a completely new and unconventional strategy to improve the way data can be processed and – in particular – stored. The team members, based in Mainz and Jerusalem, have come up with the idea of bringing together two different forms of chirality to develop new data […]
