In this study, researchers demonstrate the superconducting diode effect in conventional superconducting thin films, such as niobium and vanadium, using external magnetic fields as small as 1 Oe. They also achieve a nonvolatile superconducting diode effect by interfacing the superconducting layer with a ferromagnetic semiconductor. Through control experiments and theoretical modeling, they show that the […]

Git is a widely used distributed version control system that is popular among software development teams. It allows teams to have multiple local copies of the project’s source code that are independent of each other. Git is considered the best version control program for new developers to start learning due to its popularity and availability […]

GNU/Hurd, despite being under development since 1990, is often considered vaporware and nonexistent. However, it does exist and is slowly evolving. The Debian GNU/Hurd 2023 has been recently released, making it available for use. There has been controversy surrounding the names GNU and Linux, but to simplify, GNU is a Unix-compatible operating system, while Linux […]
UCLA researchers have made a major breakthrough in the development of safer and more efficient lithium-metal batteries. These batteries have the potential to hold double the energy of lithium-ion batteries but are known for their fire and explosion risks. The researchers discovered a technique that prevents the corrosion that occurs when depositing lithium metal onto […]

Google is moving towards decoupling the Chrome browser from ChromeOS with the introduction of Lacros on Chromebooks. Lacros is essentially the Chrome browser for Linux, but with the necessary integrations for ChromeOS. This move will allow Google to update the Chrome browser on Chromebooks more quickly and efficiently. Additionally, Lacros could potentially continue to receive […]
In this report, the synthesis of modified Lead apatite (LK-99) with the potential for superconductivity at temperatures higher than boiling water has captivated the scientific community. Although there have been some attempts to replicate this superconductivity with LK-99, there have been both failures and partial successes. In this study, we have made further efforts to […]
A recent study led by scientists at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center reveals how malignant melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer, evades the immune system and targeted therapies. The research suggests new strategies for attacking not only melanoma but also other types of cancer. The team identified a cell surface protein called CD58, […]
