3D-printed superconductor achieves record performance with soft matter approach
Nearly a decade after they first demonstrated that soft materials could guide the formation of superconductors, Cornell researchers have achieved a one-step, 3D printing method that produces superconductors with record properties.

Realizing Parrondo's Paradox in Single-Qubit Quantum Walks via Local Phase-Induced Spatial Inhomogeneity
Parrondo's paradox describes a counterintuitive phenomenon where alternating between two individually losing games results in a winning expectation. While its classical origin relies on capital-dependent bias and noise-induced asymmetry, realizing a robust quantum version of the paradox has remained challenging, especially under the constraint of single-qubit coin systems. In this work, we demonstrate that a genuine quantum Parrondo effect can emerge in discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) by al…

I'm finally pleased with my 3D printed sign handle. It's two parts, bolts together with a cardboard sign between the pieces. I've made the back side larger so it can be glued to the sign to help stabilize it in wind. (Learned I needed that the hard way!)

Scientists 3D-print part of human femur as strong as real bone
A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur—the longest and strongest bone in the body—that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a real femur. The findings were published in 2024 in a study in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research.
