A team of quantum physicists has established a new method to observe vortices in dipolar quantum gases. These quantum vortices are considered a strong indication of superfluidity, the frictionless flow of a quantum gas, and have now been experimentally detected for the first time in dipolar gases.
A technique for synthesizing many 'white graphene' nanotubes at a time paves the way for stronger, heat-resistant composites, and membranes for renewable energy.
Artificial intelligence, 'building-block' chemistry and a molecule-making machine teamed up to find the best general reaction conditions for synthesizing chemicals important to biomedical and materials research - a finding that could speed innovation and drug discovery as well as make complex chemistry automated and accessible.
