An  innovative super conductor cable for the reactor  DEMO,  designed  by the Superconductivity   team of the ENEA Nuclear Fusion Department,  has offered a 30% superior performance  compared to ITER superconductors, the  experimental facility under construction in  France. Section of the rectangular cable designed for the  project DEMO by the Superconductivity team of  the ENEA Nuclear Fusion Department,  coordinated by the European Consortium  EUROfusion and  implemented  with the  collaboration of the Italian Companies TRATOS  Cavi and CRIOTEC Impianti. Record performance for the new superconductor  cable designed by ENEA for DEMO, the reactor  that –once feasibility and cost effectiveness of  nuclear fission are demonstrated- it’s going to

Giuseppe  Cotellessa /  Reported by Dr. Joseph  Cotellessa Researchers have developed a table-top instrument that obtains measurements more normally acquired in national high magnetic field laboratories. The advance means that research into the development of next generation electronic devices employing 2D materials can now be done at most research universities. Dr Darren Graham and a team of researchers from Manchester University’s Photon Science Institute collaborated with colleagues from Cambridge University and industry partners from Germany to develop the new instrument that overcomes obstacles to the widespread use of a magnetic field technique called cyclotron resonance. According to the American Institute of Physics, in a magnetic field, charged particles i

Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Joseph Cotellessa Scanning electron microscope image of the seed inside a MOF crystal More efficient fuel cells for transportation could be developed thanks to efforts to investigate the movement of charge through a new type of material. Researchers at Manchester and Nottingham Universities have mapped the structure of the material, known as a metal-organic framework, or MOF, and how charge flows through it. The performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, used in transportation, depends on the efficiency of the electrolyte material at their centre, which controls the flow of charge between the positive and negative electrodes. So researchers are attempting to improve the effici

Engineers from the University of California San Diego have developed and tested a wearable sensor capable of measuring biochemical and electrical signals. Known as the Chem-Phys patch, the device measures electrocardiogram (EKG) signals, while at the same time tracking levels of lactate, which builds up in the body during physical effort. Receiving feedback on these two biomarkers from a single wearable device could be particularly useful for athletes monitoring their training, as well as for treating patients with conditions such as heart disease. The work is outlined  in the latest issue of  Nature Communications .
