In infrared images, hot objects usually radiate brighter than cooler. But the newly designed protective layer breaks the rule that hot equals brighter. At certain wavelengths of infrared light, the brightness of the material does not change even when heated. A report on this discovery was published on December 17 in the proceedings of the…
Materials such as oxide layers represent a modern trend in the development of superconducting structures. Current areas of research include the study of oxide layers, either directly dielectric layers or metal oxide layers, where great attention is paid to the preparation and properties of layers and structures with a perovskite structure. For the realization of…
Physicist Joel Therrien of the University of Massachusetts in Lowell introduced a new form of carbon called “U-carbon” at the International Symposium on Clusters and Nanomaterials in Virginia, USA. This material should be characterized by a high hardness (greater than stainless steel) and conductivity and reflectivity comparable to those of a polished aluminum mirror. Perhaps…

Semiconductors are materials that, from the point of view of electrical conductivity, are between electrically conductive and non-conductive materials. Scientists’ interest in semiconductors increased considerably after the first transistor was created in 1957. “Today, it is clear to everyone that without semiconductors and complex integrated circuits prepared from them, there would be no modern…
Carbon is the most widespread element in nature and is part of thousands of chemical compounds. Depending on the type of chemical bond, pure carbon is present in several modifications – such as diamond, graphite, fullerene or graphene. Graphite is the most common form of carbon. The carbon atoms bind to each other into hexagons,…
The cosmologist James Peebles split the prize with two astronomers, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, for work the Nobel judges said: “transformed our ideas about the cosmos.” This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics went to an astrophysicist who came up with sweeping ideas to explain how matter in the young universe swirled into galaxies, and…
We are inviting you to a lecture course ‘Methods for Materials Diagnostics 2019-20’ starting on 9/10/2019 (next Wednesday). The course is intended for students in all study programs provided by IEE SAS and will be given in English. More info can be found in the attached file.
13th European Researchers’ Night was organized on September 27, 2019. Visitors could experience themselves: – What magnetic levitation means in practice – a phenomenon that is used in fastest rail transport, where Maglev trains move on a magnetic field cushion. We show how the superconducting object levitates above the magnetic tracks and we explained what the…
