Better superconductors with palladium
A new age of superconductors may be about to beginn: In the 1980s, many superconducting materials (called cuprates) were based on copper. Then, nickelates...
Algae in Swedish lakes provide insights to how complex life on Earth developed
By studying green algae in Swedish lakes, a research team has succeeded in identifying which environmental conditions promote multicellularity. The results give us new...
