Kyoto University builds transistor that survives 600C temperatures, compatible with standard fabs — Standard ion implantation and bottom-gate design fix leakage

A research team at Kyoto University has built a silicon carbide (SiC) transistor that operates at 600°C (873 K) using ion implantation, the doping step used across commercial chip fabs, and cut the gap between its designed and measured threshold voltage to under 0.1V at 400°C, do

Hot temperatures can dull blue morpho butterflies' iridescent scales

Blue morpho butterflies have captivated the human eye for centuries. We even have one as an emoji on our phones. In a recent experiment, researchers at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) documented for the first time that hot temperatures during development can re

How will this year’s record-breaking El Niño affect NZ and the world? 5 things to know

From global temperature records to drought risk in New Zealand, the developing climate pattern could have far-reaching consequences.

Five ways Europe's heat-wave summer is hot, hot, hot

Temperatures have been off the charts this year in Europe, the continent warming faster than any other continent. Here are five reasons why Europe's summer of 2026 will go down in the history of climate change:

How will European politicians react to a summer of extreme heat?

Europe this summer has had to face record breaking temperatures, which caused droughts, deaths, and caused devastating wildfires. While the latest heat dome has dissipated, the damage remains – the continent continues to be the fastest warming globally. Will this summer serve as

“It’s just nuts” – Lewis Hamilton baffled by Ferrari’s tyre-warming struggle

Lewis Hamilton was left baffled by the Ferrari SF-26 inability to sufficiently warm its tyres up over an out-lap at Formula 1’s Dutch Grand Prix. Both Hamilton and Charles Leclerc required two warm-up laps for their tyres to be in the right temperature window at Zandvoort. They s

Iron hydride enters an exotic state of matter under Earth's inner-core conditions

Earth's inner core, composed primarily of iron with a small percentage of light elements, may enter a superionic state at extreme pressure and temperature, according to experimental results from researchers at Science Tokyo. Using laser-heated and electrically wired diamond-anvil
