Light pulses provide a new route to enhance superconductivity

Scientists show that pulses of light could be used to turn Mott insulators beyond simple conductors to superconductors.

Interdisciplinary collaboration yields hardest, thinnest coatings yet discovered

Researchers believe they have discovered the hardest, thinnest, most wear-resistant coatings yet - plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposited titanium and vanadium nitrides.
