(AI photo) Dirk Morr, a physics professor at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), has developed a quantum imaging strategy that uses superconductors as tiny projectors. The research, published in Nature Physics, provides experimental support for an idea Morr first proposed two decades…

[ad_1] For decades, wind power has relied on a familiar formula: enormous towers, vast concrete foundations and specialised heavy-lift equipment capable of transporting and assembling components that can weigh hundreds of tonnes. While effective, these requirements have limited where wind turbines can be deployed and increased both costs and environmental impacts. Now, a new generation…
