Hidrogenii, the joint venture between Plug Power Inc. and Olin Corporation, has announced the commissioning of its 15 metric-ton-per-day (TPD) hydrogen liquefaction plant in St. Gabriel, Louisiana. Among the largest electrolytic hydrogen liquefaction facilities in North America, the site marks a major milestone in strengthening the regional hydrogen supply chain...

Using artificial intelligence shortens the time to identify complex quantum phases in materials from months to minutes, finds a new study published in Newton. The breakthrough could significantly speed up research into quantum materials, particularly low-dimensional superconductors. The study was led by theorists at Emory University and experimentalists at Yale...

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) and collaborators have discovered a groundbreaking way to control superconductivity—an essential phenomenon for developing more energy-efficient technologies and quantum computing—by simply twisting atomically thin layers within a layered device. By adjusting the twist angle, they were able to finely tune...

Bluefors, the world leading manufacturer of cryogenic measurement systems for quantum technology, announced the opening of a new lab facility in Chicago. The facility will be used to provide the Bluefors Lab service, bringing the service into the United States for the first time. Bluefors Lab provides startups, research groups,...

A team of researchers from the Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, have successfully visualized the atomic structure of CXCR2, a key human receptor involved in cancer progression and respiratory disorders. This discovery, published in the prestigious journal Molecular Cell, paves the way for...

Vacuum technology is essential to the modern world—especially for fields like cryogenics, semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and environmental engineering. Yet for all their significance, vacuum pumps are rarely seen outside of labs and industrial settings. Now, Leybold is taking a novel approach to spotlighting these critical machines—by turning them into LEGO®...
