People like Elon Musk and others in the "space settlement" camp believe NASA and the US space industry should colonize Mars and make homo sapiens a multi-planet species. Musk wants SpaceX to one day send colonists to Mars, while NASA is talking...

Possible light-induced superconductivity in K3C60 at high temperature

The non-equilibrium control of emergent phenomena in solids is an important research frontier, encompassing effects such as the optical enhancement of superconductivity. Nonlinear excitation of certain phonons in bilayer copper oxides was recently shown to induce superconducting-like optical properties at temperatures far greater than the superconducting transition temperature, Tc (refs 4, 5, 6). This effect was accompanied by the disruption of competing charge-density-wave correlations,...

Norwegian high school puts e-sports and gaming on the timetable

Most of us have tried to sneak a quick game of Minesweeper in during our computer classes at school, but for students at Garnes High School in Norway, playing games won't be something they'll have to hide. Garnes Vidaregåande Skole, a public high school in the city of Bergen, Norway, is to start teaching e-sports to its students starting in August. The elective class...
