PSW at MBI: Day 4

July 21, 2012July 20, 2012 by seanmathmodelguy

Today we start to scramble. Running simulations of the models that have been developed, debugging code, extending the models a bit and trying to understand the results. Not everyone has used exactly the same set of parameters and the tedium of tracking all that down while bleary-eyed and desperately attempting to extend our models is … Read morePSW at MBI: Day 4

PSW at MBI: Day 3

August 3, 2012July 19, 2012 by seanmathmodelguy

Started the day missing the bus but arranged with the hotel for a shuttle to take me in. When I suggested that I’d just walk the mile and a half in the heat the clerk gave me the ‘You are nuts!’ look so just had a seat and started working while I waited for the … Read morePSW at MBI: Day 3

PSW at MBI: Day 2

July 19, 2012July 19, 2012 by seanmathmodelguy

Arranged to take the shuttle from the hotel this morning since 8:15am was really kicking my butt and giving myself an extra 15 minutes would really be appreciated. So, where are we? First let’s describe the process. A polymer scaffold is set into the bottom of a petri dish and is about 300 microns in … Read morePSW at MBI: Day 2

PSW at MBI: Day 1

July 19, 2012 by seanmathmodelguy

Got off the plane (ok technically it’s the night of Day 0) and had my first taste of Ohio. I’ve included a couple shots of the display that met me in the lobby. Day 1 starts with an 8:15am bus ride in a bus labelled Nth degree transportation which was mildly amusing. The first thing to … Read morePSW at MBI: Day 1

Scientists just found a hidden quantum geometry that warps electrons September 5, 2025

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, superconductivity, and ultrafast devices.

A strange quantum effect could power future electronics August 29, 2025

Rice University physicists confirmed that flat electronic bands in kagome superconductors aren’t just theoretical, they actively shape superconductivity and magnetism. This breakthrough could guide the design of next-generation quantum materials and technologies.

Scientists discover forgotten particle that could unlock quantum computers August 23, 2025

Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full power they need by working alongside Ising anyons. What was once considered mathematical waste may now hold the key to building universal quantum computers, turning […]

AI finds hidden safe zones inside a fusion reactor August 14, 2025

Scientists have developed a lightning-fast AI tool called HEAT-ML that can spot hidden “safe zones” inside a fusion reactor where parts are protected from blistering plasma heat. Finding these areas, known as magnetic shadows, is key to keeping reactors running safely and moving fusion energy closer to reality.

Harvard’s ultra-thin chip could revolutionize quantum computing July 25, 2025

Researchers at Harvard have created a groundbreaking metasurface that can replace bulky and complex optical components used in quantum computing with a single, ultra-thin, nanostructured layer. This innovation could make quantum networks far more scalable, stable, and compact. By harnessing the power of graph theory, the team simplified the design of these quantum metasurfaces, enabling […]
