Successful development of unconventional interface superconductors
A multi institutional team led by the University of California, Riverside has developed a new type of unconventional interface superconducting material. This material can be used for quantum computing and has become a candidate material for "topological superconductors". The research results were published in the latest issue of the journal Science Progress.
Event Horizon Telescope achieves the highest resolution observation of the Earth's surface
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaborative organization conducted experimental observations using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and other facilities, achieving the highest resolution of celestial observations obtained from the Earth's surface. They achieved this feat by detecting light from distant galaxies with a frequency of approximately 345 GHz (equivalent to 0.87 millimeter wavelength). By breaking through the limit of resolution, future black hole imaging will present unprecedented clarity, and ground-based astrophysical research capabilities will also have higher standards. These new discoveries were published on the 27th in the Astronomical Journal.
