Graphene can hold multiple states of superconductivity, a new study finds

Researchers discovered graphene can host multiple superconducting states, some persisting even in the presence of strong magnetic fields. The team found that certain experimental conditions could control the material's properties, leading to a new family of unconventional superconducting states.

Past the breaking point

Researchers from the University of Tokyo simulated fracture in amorphous solids to better understand material fatigue. They found that the critical strain for irreversible deformation is the same for both fatigue and monotonic fractures.

Predicting the risk of osteoporotic hip fracture in men using blood markers

Researchers found that CXCL9 levels were higher in pre-fracture blood samples of Chinese men with subsequent hip fractures, improving the prediction of osteoporotic hip fracture risk in men. In contrast, no association was found between CXCL10 and hip fracture risk in either gender.
