{FEATUREDTYPE}: {FEATUREDCAPTION} view more  Credit: {FEATUREDCREDIT}{FEATUREDCREDITMORE} A discovery that long eluded physicists has been detected in a laboratory at Princeton. A team of physicists detected superconducting currents — the flow of electrons without wasting energy — along the exterior edge of a superconducting material. The finding was published in the May 1 issue of the journal

The light from this laser can be used as a type of “optical spanner” to or

As the UK government looks for an exit strategy to Britain’s COVID-19 lockdown a nanomedicine expert from The University of Manchester believes a care model usually applied to cancer patients could provide a constructive way forward.
