A New Way To Measure Extremely Low Pressures

New cold-atom vacuum standard can accurately measure low-pressure levels.  Researchers are currently testing individual modules and a working prototype will be available soon.  It will be the first absolute sensor to operate in ultrahigh and extreme...

First 3D Images Of Microscopic Cracks In Alloys

For the first time, researchers develop a technique to capture 3D images of microscopic cracks in nickel-base alloys caused by hydrogen or water exposure.  It will help engineer develop microstructures with extended material life, saving costs on...

Next-Generation Magnetic Data Storage Technology

Researchers designed magnetic nanostructures with an invisibility cloak.  High speed of tiny magnetic bit structures can be achieved by carefully adjusting the strength of the invisible cloak.  For high-performance solid-state data storage and logic...
