Currently, mobile phones use microwaves for communication and infrared in their cameras. If the problem of creating cheap and efficient terahertz devices can be solved, then it would have various useful applications in security, materials science, communications and medicine. Researchers from University of Cambridge have invented a new type of terahertz detector which is more sensitive due to a new phenomena discovered.

Summary: Machine learning and AI have been playing a major part in the advancement of materials science & engineering as it speeds up the invention and discovery of more new materials and material properties everyday. Using machine learning and AI, researchers from Texas A&M have created the material with the lowest hysteresis ever recorded. This material can therefore be the best material for thermal energy harvesting and storage, which means cooler AC’s in this hot and humid Singapore. Credit: Acta Materialia (2022).

Summary: Superconductors are a class of materials which researchers are interested in, especially in the use of quantum computing. However, not much progress has been made in using these materials for quantum computing because a fundamental property for computing had not been overcome while using superconductors; making electrons travel in the direction u need it to instead of conducting it in all directions. Researchers from TU Delft have figured out a way to make this happen and now only have to figure out how to scale it up to make it available for servers or in supercomputers at the moment. The lead researcher says that there is a very real chance and not of making this happen and not just at a research stage. Read more to figure out how they made this happen! Credit: TU Delft
