Dec 10, 2025 A comprehensive report lays out a detailed science strategy to guide the initial human missions to the red planet. (Nanowerk News) The report, commissioned by NASA, identifies the highest priority scientific objectives for the missions as well as proposes four distinct mission campaigns designed to maximize the...
New superconducting thin film for quantum computer chips
Dec 10, 2025 Researchers made iron telluride into a superconducting thin film by reducing crystal distortion, enabling use in quantum chips at very low temperatures. (Nanowerk News) If quantum computing is going to become an every-day reality, we need better superconducting thin films, the hardware that enables storage and processing...
Beetle-inspired heat sink achieves high-efficiency CPU cooling through millisecond bubble transport
Dec 10, 2025 A 3D-printed Janus microchannel heat sink inspired by desert beetles enables ultrafast bubble removal and prevents CPU thermal throttling. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The Namib desert beetle survives one of Earth's harshest environments through an elegant trick of surface chemistry. Its shell combines water-attracting bumps with water-repelling troughs, allowing...
