A four-stroke engine for atoms
If you switch a bit in the memory of a computer and then switch it back again, you have restored the original state. There are only two states that can be called "0 and 1.".....»»
The Volvo VNL, a heavy truck purpose-designed for North American roads
Blindspot cameras and radars, a more efficient engine, and lower-drag cab all help. Enlarge / America sends five times more freight by truck than rail, so it's important to start making those trucks more fuel efficient and safer......»»
Ford rethinks 2030 goal to go all-electric in Europe
Ford could continue to sell combustion engine cars in Europe after 2030. Originally the automaker planned to sell only battery-electric cars in the region by the end of the decade......»»

Variety in building block softness makes for softer amorphous materials
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new model for disordered materials to study how amorphous materials resist stress. They treated groups of atoms and molecules as squishy spheres with varying softness......»»
Researchers discover spontaneous liquefaction of solid metal–liquid metal interfaces in colloidal binary alloys
The boundary between solid metal and liquid metal can be much less "solid" than we ever suspected. RMIT researchers have discovered that the liquid-solid boundary can fluctuate back and forth, with metallic atoms near the surface breaking free from t.....»»
Attosecond core-level spectroscopy reveals real-time molecular dynamics
Chemical reactions are complex mechanisms. Many different dynamic processes are involved, affecting both the electrons and the nucleus of the present atoms. Very often, the strongly coupled electron and nuclear dynamics induce radiation-less relaxati.....»»

Good vibrations: Low-energy lasers induce atomic excitation in semiconductor materials
Semiconductors are a cornerstone of next-generation technology, so a new method to excite atoms in semiconductor materials is likely to excite a broad range of researchers and industries as well......»»
Twisting and binding matter waves with photons in a cavity
Precisely measuring the energy states of individual atoms has been a historical challenge for physicists due to atomic recoil. When an atom interacts with a photon, the atom "recoils" in the opposite direction, making it difficult to measure the posi.....»»
