For the first time, physicists managed to form a crystal consisting exclusively of electrons
2021-07-10 09:16
For the first time in the history of science, a group of researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) managed to form an exotic crystal consisting exclusively of electrons on the surface of a semiconductor material and observe it. With this achievement, they confirmed the theoretical forecast put forward about 90 years ago, in 1934, by Eugene Wigner, which throughout thi...
TSU has learned how to obtain foamed magnesium
2021-07-09 08:53
Scientists of Togliatti State University (TSU) have developed a unique method for producing porous materials from magnesium and its alloys. The Federal Service for Intellectual Property has issued a patent for the invention.
Low weight and high strength, as well as excellent damping properties* are the main advantages of foam metals, which at the same time retain all the advantages of the source material. ...
