Is the pseudogap in YBCO a pairing gap? Evidence from nonlinear pumping experimentThe group of Cavalleri has reported “superconducting-like” response up to the pseudogap scale when YBCO is subject to intense optical pump. A recent experiment reported evidence for flux exclusion. I will discuss an alternative explanation which does not require the creation of superconductivity by pumping. On the other hand, our ...
An approach to scalable surface-drifting buoys is needed to enable the high spatial and temporal resolution of oceanographic data that the science and meteorological communities are asking for. With the number of active buoys predicted to increase by a factor of 100 or more, the impact on the environment becomes ...

In an era when information is treated as a form of power and self-knowledge an unqualified good, the value of what remains unknown is often overlooked. From fitness trackers to social media, contemporary technologies encourage individuals to quantify, reveal, and optimize their lives - yet this relentless pursuit of knowledge ...

Sustainably Powering AI: The latest Stanford research - LivestreamAI offers enormous potential for a sustainable future, leveraging the vast amount of data in the energy system to optimize everything from battery management to changing energy markets to grid operation and planning. But this intellectual power comes at the cost of electrical power, and lots of it. The rapid ...
Southern California Bight coastal waters are dynamic and strongly influenced by a changing climate. An increased respiration quotient has been found during high temperature and low nitrogen conditions. These observations are specific to open ocean conditions, and their applicability to coastal environments is uncertain. To disentangle the controlling factors in ...
Research funded by the federal government has been crucial in many of the defining technologies of our time: the internet, A.I., CRISPR, Ozempic, and the mRNA vaccines that saved untold lives during the COVID pandemic. Between 2010 and 2019, more than 350 drugs were approved in the United States, and ...

Over 6000 planets have now been found around other stars, but we only have information about what their atmospheres are like for a few dozen. NASA's powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which features a 20-foot mirror in space, is currently being used to understand atmospheres. We can look for ...
