New frontiers of the optical fibre manufacturing
The process of optical fibre manufacturing starting from raw material was consolidated long ago, but an innovative method developed by the researchers of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) might allow a new approach,…
Carbon nanotubes for electric cables
Carbon nanotubes, known since the late Nineties, are renowned for several characteristics, including a surprising electrical conductivity that can be about 1000 time higher than copper’s, even if much depends on their geometric…
Light to control superconductors
The superconductivity is a phenomenon that occurs in some particular materials where the electrical resistance almost zeroes at critical temperatures close to absolute zero, that is to say 0K (zero Kelvin degrees), value…
