First-ever view of a hidden quantum phase captured in a 2D crystal
Researchers at MIT and the University of Texas at Austin have captured images of a light-induced metastable phase hidden from the equilibrium universe using a variety of sophisticated spectroscopic instruments. Using single-shot spectroscopic methods, they observed this transition in real-time on a 2D crystal with nanoscale changes in electron density. Through this work, researchers showed…
Vivo Just Showed Its First-Ever Android Tablet
The Android tablets space has been traditionally dominated by companies like Samsung, Lenovo, Amazon, and Huawei. Of late, however, there has been a flurry of activity in this segment buoyed, probably, by Google's decision to develop Android 12L – its first tablet-centric Android version after Android 3.0 Honeycomb.

The University of Nottingham is one of 24 Universities to receive this new award and was chosen after demonstrating its proven research excellence and track record of translation…
These are boom times for astronomers hunting black holes. The biggest ones—supermassive black holes that can weigh billions of suns—have been found at the centers of most every galaxy, and we have even managed to image one. Meanwhile, researchers now routinely detect gravitational waves rippling through the universe from smaller merging black holes. Closer to…
