MIT’s discovery of a “chiral superconductor” challenges the assumption of how superconductors and magnets relate. A chiral superconductor is made of a material that not only conducts electricity with no resistance but is also magnetic. As a new discovery, the team ironically observed this superconductivity in graphite, a rather ordinary material. Graphite is made from layers of graphene, which consists of carbon atom sheets stacked together.

As electric air taxis become more popular and plausible, there are still major challenges that need solving. Of course, there are FAA certification processes, as well as expensive processing. But in order to change transportation at scale, these taxis must be more efficient and quieter than our current planes and helicopters. In steps Whisper Aero, with the innovation of the UltraQuiet WhisperDrive. The WhisperDrive serves as an electric ducted fan.

French mobility company Acticycle has created a quadcycle with top speeds of up to nearly 30 miles per hour. Built with an aluminum frame, two inline bucket seats, and polycarbonate roof and windshield, the company offers three models with unique capabilities. The company’s product, named the same as the company itself, is really a pedal-electric model. Utilizing the power of the driver pedaling, the push is then augmented through an electric motor.

At the University of California-San Diego, researchers have taken inspiration from a bit of child’s play. Take a tape measure and extend it as far as it’ll go before bending. Not only is that a curious childhood activity, but also the creation of material for a robotic gripper. GRIP-tape, or Grasping and Rolling In-Plane, is the research team’s bot in progress. Current grippers that expand are found to be too bulky, needing additional mechanisms to further expand gripping appendages.

Through a study submitted to HAL’s open archive, researchers have studied three-dimensional holograms with the ability to be touched, poked, or grabbed. Mixed reality technology allows the holograms to be physically manipulated. A first in 3D graphics, volumetric displays are at the heart of the technology. The displays support the holograms through a diffuser. As a rigid, fast-oscillating sheet, the displays allow thousands of images to be projected synchronously at different heights.
