For the first time scientists have provided clear evidence that tropical tree lifespan decreases above a critical temperature threshold. For the first time scientists have provided clear evidence that ...

Recent theoretical and experimental work has conclusively demonstrated that using metamaterials in dielectric response engineering can increase the critical temperature of a composite ...

Superconductivity in two-dimensional (2D) systems has attracted much attention in recent years, both because of its relevance to our understanding of fundamental physics and because of potential ...

A superconductor is a material with zero electrical resistance when cooled to a critical temperature. Generally, this temperature is quite low and therefore expensive to maintain. In addition, many ...

For the first time in the world, researchers (From Korea University, Sukbae Lee, Ji-Hoon Kim, Hyun-Tak Kim) have succeeded in synthesizing a room-temperature superconductor (Tc≥400 K, 127∘C) working ...

Materials researchers have investigated the superconductor YBCO using advanced X-ray spectroscopy. YBCO is a well-known ceramic copper-based material that can conduct electricity without loss ...

Superconductivity was first seen in metals cooled down to close to absolute zero. But after exhausting every metal on the periodic table, the critical temperature at which the metal transitions to ...

Rising temperatures as a result of climate change are making tropical forests hotter, which translates into shorter life spans for tropical tree species, a new study shows. Tropical forests host about ...

Professor Lewis Halsey as a participant in an experiment led by PhD student Chris Wolfe. The experiment primarily involves comparing the participant’s resting metabolic rate at room temperature and at ...
