Tricia Wilson Nguyen brings a fascinating perspective to the study of historical needlework techniques. She combines a background in engineering from the University of Michigan and MIT with a lifelong love for needlework, producing a passion for the specific technical complexities inherent in 17th century English needlework. Her upcoming virtual lecture, Patterns and Pieces: Whitework [โฆ]
This is an astonishingly great article about historical #embroidery, but also #MaterialsScience and threads and the work of Tricia Wilson Nguyen. She takes an #engineering approach to this work that is so valuable.
My lacemaker friends worked with her on that Plimoth Jacket she refers to. I'll post that video next so you can see it.

New Superconductor Reaches 151 K at Ambient Pressure, Setting a Long-Standing Record
๐ฐ Original title: Scientists break 30-year superconductivity record at normal pressure

Researchers at the University of Houston have achieved a significant milestone in superconductivity by developing a material that operates at 151 Kelvin (โ122ยฐC) under normal atmospheric pressure. This sets a new record for the highest superconducting transition temperature under ambient conditions, surpassing the previous benchmark of 133 K established in 1993 with a mercury-based cuprate. Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without resistance, eliminating energy loss as heat and offering major potential benefits for power transmission, medical imaging, quantum technologies, and advanced electronics. The breakthrough was made by scientists from the Texas Center for Superconductivity and the universityโs physics department, led by Ching-Wu Chu and Liangzi Deng. Their approach relied on a technique called pressure quenching. In this process, the material is first subjected to extremely high pressure to enhance its superconducting properties. While still under pressure, it is cooled and then rapidly decompressed, effectively preserving the improved superconducting state even after returning to normal pressure. This achievement is important because most high-temperature superconductors require either extremely low temperatures or high pressures, both of which limit practical applications due to cost and technical complexity. By stabilizing superconductivity at higher temperatures without the need for sustained pressure, the new method brings researchers closer to more accessible and scalable technologies. Despite the progress, room-temperature superconductivity at ambient pressure remains a distant goal. Room temperature is approximately 300 K, meaning there is still a gap of about 140 degrees Celsius to close. Researchers emphasize that continued collaboration across physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering will be necessary to bridge this gap. Even so, the new record represents a meaningful step toward more efficient energy systems and advanced technological applications.

A new tilting method extracts droplet friction from a single droplet experiment. Surprisingly, many surfaces converge toward the same theoretical value, suggesting a hidden universality in wetting dynamics.
