The gemstone spinel, known for its vibrant colors resembling gems such as rubies and sapphires, has now been shown to be capable of storing quantum information, making it a viable material in the field of quantum technology.
The discovery, which was made by collaborators from Tohoku University, the University of Chicago, and Argonne National Laboratory, was published in the journal Applied Physics Express.
This is the first paper resulting from the Chicago–Tohoku Quantum Alliance. The alliance between UChicago and Tohoku researchers was forged in June 2023 to help build bridges with Japanese companies and establish stronger industry ties with academia and government.
Harnessing The Power Of The Crowd To Solve Important Problems — Steve Rader — Program Manager — Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation & Tournament Lab, NASA.
Steve Rader (https://www.nasa.gov/people/steve-rader /) serves as the Program Manager of NASA’s Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation (CoECI — https://www.nasa.gov/coeci/) and the NASA Tournament Lab (NTL — https://www.nasa.gov/general/nasa-tou…), which are working to infuse challenge and crowdsourcing innovation approaches at NASA and across the federal government. CoECI focuses on the study and use of curated, crowdsourcing communities that utilize prize and challenge-based methods to deliver innovative solutions for NASA and the U.S. government.
In 2015, Steve was named as one of 20 Challenge Mentors for U.S. Government Services Administration’s (GSA) Prizes and Challenges government-wide community of practice. Steve has worked with various projects and organizations to develop and execute over 100 different challenges. He speaks regularly about NASA’s work in crowd-based challenges and the future of work both publicly and internally to the NASA workforce to promote the use of open innovation tools.
Steve has a Mechanical Engineering degree from Rice University and has worked at NASA’s Johnson Space Center for 33 years. Prior to joining CoECI/NTL, Steve worked in mission control, flight software development for the Space Shuttle and International Space Station, command and control systems development for the X-38 (the experimental re-entry vehicle designed by NASA to research a possible emergency crew return vehicle), and led the Command, Control, Communications, \& Information (C3I) architecture definition for the Constellation Program.
A major measles alert has been issued for two Australian states.
An urgent measles warning has been issued for two states after a toddler arrived in Australia from Vietnam with the infectious and deadly disease.
The South Australian government issued a warning after being notified of a three-year-old infected with measles travelling from Vietnam on Singapore Airlines flight SQ279, landing in Adelaide about 8.45am on Tuesday January 14.
Over the week, the toddler visited a number of places, including Kmart and Coles supermarket in Ingle Farm Shopping Centre on Wednesday January 15 before attending the Women’s and Children’s Hospital on Friday January 17.

Anduril, a technology start-up that designs autonomous systems and weapons for government agencies and the military, plans to build a $1 billion factory in Columbus, Ohio, the company said on Thursday.
It said the factory, called Arsenal-1 and described as a “hyperscale” plant, would bring more than 4,000 job to Ohio and eventually produce tens of thousands of autonomous systems and weapons each year.
“We will be creating with our partners in Ohio something that does not currently exist” at such a scale, Anduril’s chief strategy officer, Chris Brose, said in a briefing with reporters. The company has worked closely with state officials on the project and has secured tax breaks to locate it in Columbus.
