Super Materials

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with absolutely no resistance, and that expel magnetic field. In general, superconductivity occurs only at very low temperatures, but there are some classes of material in which superconductivity occurs at temperatures exceeding that of liquid nitrogen – still a very low temperature, but a temperature that can be reached at low cost. The most famous are the cuprates – combinations of copper and oxygen. In this talk, I will discuss the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity: which materials show this phenomenon, and the mechanisms that bring it about.

This research dives into an exciting adventure to battle liver cancer using super-smart nanoparticles. Picture tiny magical particles loaded with powerful medicines and special dyes that light up in MRIs, helping doctors see and fight cancer better.
Responsive polymers decorated these nanoparticles, making them even smarter by figuring out how to pack more medicine inside and making them change brightness in MRIs. It's like upgrading a superhero's gear for a big showdown! And guess what? The results were super promising! These tiny superheroes showed great potential in fighting cancer.
