The US Department of Energy announced today that it will invest $16 million over the next four years to accelerate the design of new materials through use of supercomputers.
Using todays advanced microscopes, scientists are able to capture exponentially more information about the materials they study compared to a decade agoin greater detail and in less time.
Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors materials that can transport electricity with perfect efficiency at or near liquid nitrogen temperatures (minus-196 degrees Celsius) scientists have been working to develop a theory that explains
When physicists Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Muller discovered the first high-temperature superconductors in 1986, it didnt take much imagination to envision the potential technological benefits of harnessing such materials.
