These systems enable robots to achieve these tasks autonomously, navigating and mapping without any human intervention.Carnegie Mellon University's Autonomous Robotics TeamHowever, a team of researchers from...

Unraveling the Mystery of Insulator-to-Metal Transitions: A Quantum Avalanche Study

Credit: Unsplash.Most materials can be classified into two categories based on their subatomic particles: metals and insulators. Like copper and iron, metals possess free-flowing electrons that enable them to conduct electricity, while insulators, such as glass and rubber, tightly bind their electrons, making them non-conductive.The intriguing aspect of insulators is that they can be...

South Africa’s Power Crisis Will Persist Until 2025

South Africa's power crisis will persist until 2025, with blackouts phasing out in 5 years. South Africa is facing a severe electricity crisis with increasing enforced power cuts, leaving people without electricity for up to 10 hours a day. The root cause is the frequent breakdowns in the country's aging coal power plants, which...

Quantum Breakthrough: First-Ever Achievement of a Laughlin State

Credit: Unsplash.The discovery of quantum Hall effects in the 1980s revealed the existence of new forms of matter known as "Laughlin states," named after the American Nobel laureate who successfully characterized them theoretically.These great states manifest uniquely in two-dimensional materials under extremely cold conditions and intense magnetic fields. In a Laughlin state, electrons form an unusual...
