A new brain-computer interface technology developed in Spain uses a chip technology based on graphene rather than metal. Tests in the near future will whether researchers' hopes are justified that the graphene chips will be far more effective in applications such as monitoring brain activity during surgery and mitigating Parkinson's disease. https://lnkd.in/eYGTUxAZ

Q: How do you get 200 tons of highly radioactive spent fuel from here to there? A: In a specially designed, $33-million train. (With a U.S. Navy escort vehicle, of course.) https://lnkd.in/ejMhbfGH

On 29 October 2020, astronomer Przemek Mróz from the University of Warsaw and an international group of collaborators reported a peculiar flicker of light originating from halfway across our galaxy. The signal was extremely subtle. It caused a single star to brighten and dim by about 20 percent over a 6-hour period, just once, never repeated. But the implication of that little flicker was huge: It was the first credible sighting of an Earth-size “rogue planet,” a world untethered to any star, floating freely between the stars. “It’s always exciting when you find a truly new thing. This is why I became a scientist,” Mróz says. And, oh boy, did he get what he wanted.

One of the great stories of invention concerns the building of the first laser, by Ted Maiman at Hughes Research. Less well known is the story about how that invention triggered a very-high-stakes, three-way race to build a semiconductor laser, among General Electric, IBM, and MIT's Lincoln Lab. https://lnkd.in/gpin4NrP

If the transition to a new energy regime isn't adeptly managed, warns Robert Charette, we could wind up with "a dystopian grid where energy costs are high and reliability is poor, decarbonization progress is stalled, and the economic gains that have been made over the last century are at risk." In a conversation with Deepak Divan of Georgia Institute of Technology, the two experts chart a path forward that would avoid the pitfalls https://lnkd.in/ek8xY967

A relatively new family of superconducting materials, the lanthanum hydrides, is fascinating researchers with their bizarre magnetic properties and astonishingly high superconducting "transition" temperatures. One of them can superconduct at -23 degrees C—the highest yet observed in a superconducting material https://lnkd.in/eB3XPyPV
