by University of Innsbruck An international collaboration involving researchers from the University of Innsbruck has developed a novel luminescent material that enables particularly robust and precise optical temperature sensing across an exceptionally broad temperature range. Optical luminescence thermometry has been gaining increasing attention, as it allows contactless temperature measurement even under...

NV centers are among the most promising qubit platforms, combining fast electron-spin control with exceptionally stable nuclear-spin memories. However, until now, these systems have depended on room-temperature electronics connected by long cables to the cryogenic environment: a setup that considerably hinders scalability and reliability. The new cryo-CMOS controller solves this...

Energy transformation is not simply a fuel switch – it’s a redesign of the systems that underpin economic growth and national energy security. Electricity demand is rising sharply, driven by the electrification of end uses and the rising demand from data centres and AI. At the same time, power systems...

written by Ryan Weber  Following Booster 18’s failure during a pressure test, SpaceX went ahead and set a new record for stacking a booster in the Starship Program, to try and get Block 3 and the program at large back on track. And this weekend, crews rolled Booster 19 out to...

By Dominic Ellison  Australian hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage and transport firm Provaris Energy has completed the phase-one delivery of an LCO2 tank front end engineering and design (FEED) program. The programme included detailed engineering and material and weld testing of a 25,000 cbm LCO2 low-pressure tank and class approval with...

The University of Bath has entered a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Druck, a Crane Company business, to develop the world’s first flight-certified cryogenic hydrogen pressure sensor, helping pave the way for net-zero aviation. Hydrogen is one of the most promising solutions to decarbonising air travel, with aviation currently accounting...
