A week in the materials industry: February 11th 2014
A roundup of news from the past week in the materials science industry.
Nanowires greatly increase solar cell efficiency
Nanowire solar cells created at EPFL could absorb 12 times as much light as the current standard.
New machine learning tool could transform how we study neutron star mergers
A new machine learning algorithm that can rapidly pinpoint the location of a neutron star merger using gravitational wave signals alone.
A new type of dark matter could explain mysterious radiation from the Milky Way’s core
Dark matter could be composed of much lighter particles, with masses roughly ten times smaller than that of a proton.
XRISM solves star formation mystery in galaxy clusters
New high-resolution X-ray data reveal that turbulent gas motion, not just black hole activity, prevents star formation in cluster cores.
A theory of frozen stars challenges our understanding of black holes
Linking string theory with observations, frozen stars shed new light on black holes and the clash between quantum mechanics and relativity.
Butterflies inspire magnetic robots that fly more efficiently
Monarch butterflies have inspired the design of 3D-printed robotic wings that rely on magnetic fields to generate their delicate movements.
Hollow planets could help find primordial black holes
Small primordial black holes could have consumed the interiors of planets or asteroids, leaving their outer shells intact.
New radar system to help protect first responders in smoky situations
SmokeNav combines an inertial sensor and millimeter-wave radar to enhance situational awareness for first responders in hazardous conditions.
