New Advances Using Exotic Matter May Lead to Ultrafast Computing February 17, 2021
In the 1960s, an exotic phase of matter known as an excitonic insulator was proposed. Decades later, evidence for this phase was found in real materials. Recently, particular attention has centered on Ta2NiSe5 because an excitonic insulator phase may exist in this material at room temperatures. The substance is made up of the elements tantalum, nickel, and selenium, and has the potential to lead to breakthroughs in more power-efficient, faster computers.
Now, in a new
Physical Review Letters study from Caltech, researchers have, for the first time, figured out how to flip the bits of the excitonic insulator found in Ta2NiSe5. Computers communicate using a binary language of 1s and 0s, which are also called bits. For computers to work, the bits need to switch on or off (with 1s being on and 0s off). Some of today s computing hardware works by flipping the magnetic moments, or orientations

In a race for COVID treatment, hydroxychloroquine often went to poorly designed trials that may have put patients at greater risk John Fauber, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel © GEORGE FREY/AFP/Getty Images/TNS A bottle and pills of Hydroxychloroquine sit on a counter at Rock Canyon Pharmacy in Provo, Utah, on May 20, 2020.
When word surfaced in March that the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine might be beneficial in treating COVID-19, more than 50 clinical trials were quickly set up.
Usually, clinical trials involve thousands of patients and dozens of scientists working under the direction of a large research consortium, a drug company or the federal government.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) Tributes have been pouring in for Shirley Young, a legendary business leader and long-time advocate for China-U.S. exchanges, who died on Saturday at the age of 85.
BRIDGE BUILDER
Young was an outstanding lady, who not only had great business achievements, but also devoted her lifetime to advocating for the interests of Chinese Americans and the mutual understanding between Chinese and American people, said Chinese ambassador Cui Tiankai in his condolence message to Young s family on Monday.
The Committee of 100, which Young co-founded in 1990, has been an important bridge for China-U.S. political, economic, cultural and educational exchanges, he said.
