An international team of researchers, including the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of Twente in The Netherlands and the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory (CSA CSM), has announced the first observation of a dynamic Mott transition in a superconductor. The discovery experimentally connects the worlds of...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this month accepted the Device Master File (MAF) submission for BioCision's ThawSTAR automated cell thawing system. The ThawSTAR MAF encompasses information pertaining to the specifications, materials and quality and manufacturing processes used in producing the ThawSTAR system.

A study by Warwick Economics & Development (WECD) that was commissioned by the Science & Technology Facilities Council shows that the UK's strong cryogenics community delivers substantial economic impact to the country's economy. Based on supply chain analysis, WECD estimates that sectors broadly associated with cryogenics represent 17 percent of...

Physicists at the University of British Columbia have created the first-ever superconducting graphene sample by coating it with lithium atoms. Although superconductivity has already been observed in intercalated bulk graphite—3-D crystals layered with alkali metal atoms, based on the graphite used in pencils—inducing superconductivity in single-layer graphene has until now...

Three years after the announcement of the discovery of a new particle, the so-called Higgs boson, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN have combined their analyses of the data collected in 2011 and 2012 to draw the sharpest picture yet of this novel boson. ATLAS and CMS presented their...
