A Stanford team announced that it has created the world's first dipolar quantum fermionic gas from the metal dysprosium. The team heated particles in a crucible to around 1,300 degrees Celsius and shot them into a powerful vacuum. Using a continuous-wave blue laser, the particles were then cooled to within a thousandth of a degree of absolute zero. Subsequent lasers and an … [Read more...]
Silicon Carbide’s Potential in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
Encouraged by silicon carbide’s superior material properties, major automotive manufacturers involved in developing hybrid and electric vehicles are currently testing SiC-based MOSFETs and other transistors as a viable alternative to silicon-based transistors, particularly for under-the-hood applications where the operating conditions are challenging. The wide-bandgap material … [Read more...]
Server Failures Don’t Rise Along With the Heat
Researchers at the University of Toronto, who studied data on equipment failures at data centers operated by Google, Los Alamos National Labs, and Canada’s SciNet HPC consortium, conclude that the effect of high data center temperatures on system reliability is smaller than often assumed. For DRAM failures and node outages, no evidence for a correlation with higher … [Read more...]
Researchers Improve Infrared Detectors
A team of researchers from Peking University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Duke University is harnessing the remarkable properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to create highly sensitive, “uncooled” photovoltaic infrared detectors. This new type of detector may prove useful for industrial, military, manufacturing, optical communications, and scientific … [Read more...]
