‘Vacuumtronics’ could help make better superconductors

Vacuum fluctuations could be a non-invasive way to tune superconductivity The post ‘Vacuumtronics’ could help make better superconductors appeared first on Physics World .

  • Vacuumtronics concept proposed to enhance superconductivity in bulk materials.
  • Vacuum fluctuations, continuous virtual particle creation, linked to quantum effects.
  • Enhanced superconductivity observed in NbSe2 when partially embedded in dark cavity.

A famous galaxy's black hole has been hiding its most violent behavior

Astronomers have found that a nearby galaxy's black hole is blasting out a far more powerful and hidden gas outflow than previously realized. Studying NGC 1068, a well-known galaxy with an actively feeding black hole at its center, researchers combined new infrared observations with existing data to map how the black hole's energy is…
