Quantum vortices confirm superfluidity in supersolid

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team led by Innsbruck physicist Francesca Ferlaino ...

Employers hold sway in immigration bureaucracy

Prioritizing unique and more educated applicants for temporary work visas, employers play a central but understudied role in the U.S. immigration bureaucracy, with implications for careers and American innovation, new Cornell ...

Making 'stressed' potatoes more climate-resilient

Heat, dry spells and flooding—the whole of nature is under stress, and potatoes are no exception. As a food staple, there is particular interest in getting potatoes fit for the new climate reality. As part of the EU's four-year ...

How empty cans could make Thailand's roads safer

Nearly 12,000 cans packed into re-usable "crash boxes" could protect drivers and passengers on Thailand's roads. The innovation developed by Cranfield University focuses on addressing the devastating outcomes of high-speed ...

New bird flu outbreak confirmed in UK

The UK government warned bird keepers to remain vigilant after bird flu was detected at a commercial poultry farm in northern England, the second outbreak this year and first of the season.
