Scientists Establish Superconductivity at Record Temperatures

August
2019
Researchers at the Univ. of Chicago (UC) have created a unique metal-hydride material that achieves superconductivity at the highest temperatures ever recorded: 250 K (–23°C), 50 K more than the previous record.

Reversible Adhesive Mimics Snail Slime

August
2019
Like many graduate students, Gaoxiang Wu’s desk was often in disarray. When he finally got around to sifting through the clutter in his desk drawer at the Univ. of Pennsylvania (UPenn), he unearthed a hydrogel sample sandwiched between two glass slides. For months, Wu had been studying the material’s mechanical stability and structure as part of his graduate engineering research. When he tried to unstick the slides by pulling them apart, the glass cracked and then shattered.

Rapid DNA Analysis for Infected Crops

August
2019
To help diagnose common crop infections, chemical engineers at North Carolina State Univ. (NCSU) have developed a unique microneedle patch that can quickly extract plant DNA for analysis.
