Scientists Pave the Way for Element 120 Using Titanium Ions

Key Points: Scientists aim to create element 120 using electrically charged titanium ions and a californium target. Livermorium (element 116) was successfully created using titanium ions, paving the way for the search for element 120. Traditional methods using calcium-48 are becoming impractical due to radioactive and short-lived target elements. Discovering element 120 would add a new row to the periodic table and enhance our understanding of superheavy elements. In a groundbreaking move to expand the periodic table, scientists are exploring the creation of element 120 by utilizing electrically charged titanium atoms, or ions, and slamming them into a californium target....

New Neutron Technique Revolutionizes Temperature Measurement in Electronics

Key Points: Osaka University developed a new technique for fast and accurate electronic temperature measurement using neutron resonance absorption (NRA). The method is non-destructive and suitable for monitoring batteries and semiconductor devices. NRA can acquire temperature data in 100 nanoseconds. The measurement device is a tenth of the size of similar equipment, facilitating easier installation in other laboratories. This technique allows detailed electronic examination, helping...

Researchers Develop Innovative Implantable Microphone for Cochlear Implants

Key Points: A multidisciplinary team of researchers creates implantable microphones for cochlear implants. Existing implants rely on external hardware. The new UmboMic uses biocompatible piezoelectric material to capture eardrum movements. The new microphone targets a part of the middle ear called the umbo, which vibrates unidirectionally, making it easier to sense these movements. Testing on human ear bones from cadavers demonstrated robust performance. The team...

Breakthrough in Light-Controlled Magnetite States Opens New Avenues for Electronics

Key Points: EPFL researchers found that different light wavelengths can change magnetite’s state, affecting its electrical conductivity. Magnetite's unique properties make it valuable. Researchers focused on its out-of-equilibrium switching properties using light-induced phase transitions. Ultrafast electron diffraction revealed structural changes. 800 nm light compressed magnetite’s lattice, while 400 nm light expanded it. The ability to control hidden phases in magnetite could impact the development of...
