Rice University scientists conducted a study on superconductivity. Physicists Pengcheng Dai and Andriy Nevidimoskyy, with some of their colleagues, used simulations and neutron scattering experiments that show that the atomic structure of materials to reveal tiny distortions of the crystal lattice in a so-called iron pnictide compound of sodium, iron, nickel, and arsenic.

Germany is bidding farewell to nuclear energy, expanding renewable energy resources and working to make its economy virtually climate-neutral by the mid-century. The plan is known as the Energy Transition. The project will rely on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energy demand management. By 2022, nuclear reactors and coal-fired generators will need to be retired. […]
