A major breakthrough in "high-temperature" superconductivity, the world's first diode came out, and quantum computing materials benefited

Superconductors have fascinated physicists for decades, allowing for a perfect, lossless flow of electrons. But these materials can only exhibit this quantum mechanical property at very low temperatures – a few degrees above absolute zero (minus 273.15 degrees Celsius). This makes practical application difficult. A research team led by Philip Kim, a professor of physics and applied physics at Harvard University, has made another major breakthrough in "high-temperature" superconductors using cuprites. The latest findings were recently published in the journal Science. Using a unique method of fabricating low-temperature devices, the team has succeeded in developing the world's first promising candidate for "high-temperature" superconducting diodes. This invention is essential for quantum computing and represents an important step in manipulating and understanding exotic materials and quantum states.

The United Launch Alliance (ULA)'s first Vulcan rocket has been assembled in Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, in preparation for its first test flight in January next year

Development of the Vulcan rocket, which began in 2014 and is designed to replace ULA's current workhorses, the Atlas V and Delta IV, was originally scheduled to make its first flight in 2019 but has since been postponed several times, with the latest launch date being 07:18 UTC on January 8, 2024. The payload of the rocket's first flight was the Peregrine, a commercial lunar lander from the company Astrobotic Technology. The Vulcan rocket uses Blue Origin's reusable engine BE-4 – but no attempts will be made to recycle it in the first few years. With the Vulcan rocket, the ULA company is ready to significantly increase the frequency of launches, which it has only made 3 this year, compared to more than 90 by its biggest rival, SpaceX. Vulcan has already received orders for 70 launches, more than half of which are from commercial customers and the rest are from the US military. Among them, Amazon ordered 38 launches to launch its broadband satellite, Project Kuiper. ULA aims to launch an average of two Vulcan rockets per month by the end of 2025.
