| FEATURED STORY | | | In two complementary studies, an international team of physicists has now established that superconductivity in high-temperature superconductors, known as cuprates, collapses at a maximum of -135 C due to the formation of charge-density waves. Consequently, in order to find superconductors that drop to zero resistance at realistic temperatures, materials scientists must search for substances that are not subject to charge-density waves.

| | ADVERTISEMENT | | | | | Clue or Cludo (in Europe) is a popular board game in which participants solve a mystery by asking questions leading them to the "who, what, and where" of a crime. In materials science the same kind of investigation takes place as scientists and engineers analyze the effect of the selection of materials and their interactions with the real-world environment.

| | | NEWS | | | Nearly 25% of earthquakes occur more than 50 km below the Earth's surface in a region called the lithosphere. But limited data and knowledge have prevented researchers from finding the cause of these intermediate and deep earthquakes. A team has recently found immense heating at high pressures at these depths, helping explain the "runaway" process propagates an earthquake in the lithosphere.

| | | NEWS | | | A research group based in Japan has succeeded for the first time in fabricating a 3-D structure of a quasicrystal composed of a single element. Discovered in 1984, quasicrystals have been found in more than 100 kinds of alloy, polymer and nanoparticle systems. However, a quasicrystal composed of a single element has not yet been found.

| | | NEWS | | | New findings suggest the oxytocin receptor, a gene known to influence mother-infant bonding and pair bonding in monogamous species, also plays a special role in the ability to remember faces. This research has important implications for disorders in which social information processing is disrupted, including autism spectrum disorder.

| | | NEWS | | | Molecules anchored to the surfaces of nanoparticles modify and even control many characteristics of the particles, including how they interact with cells or react to light. Taking advantage of advanced instrumental capabilities, researchers have built a specially designed experimental cell to successfully deduce the how molecules of carboxylic acid, a common organic acid found in nature, bind to ceria nanoparticle surfaces.

| | | NEWS | | | The completion of the 30-day Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration (LLCD) mission has helped confirm laser communication capabilities from a distance of almost 250,000 miles. In addition to demonstrating record-breaking data download and upload speeds to the moon at 622 and 20 Mbps, respectively, LLCD also showed that it could operate as well as any NASA radio system.

| | | ARTICLE | | Many applications involve generating sinusoid voltage waveforms onto low-AC-impedance capacitive loads. For example, this capability is needed when emulating automotive alternator whine for testing a car stereo system's ability to reject noise. Such applications may require generating waveforms up to 20 kHz with peak-to-peak amplitudes of 500 mV onto a capacitive load as high as 1 mF to 1 F.
