Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a graphene device that's thinner than a human hair but has a depth of special traits.
It easily switches from a superconducting material that conducts electricity without losing any energy, to an insulator that resists the flow of electric current, and back again to a superconductor - all with a simple flip of a switch. Their findings were reported today in the journal Nature.
"Usually, when someone wants to study how electrons interact with each other in a superconducting quantum phase versus an insulating phase, they would need to look at different materials. With our system, you can study both the superconductivity phase and the insulating phase in one place," said Guorui Chen, the study's lead author and a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Feng Wang, who led the study.

The researcher to translator should also apply to the jargon and mathematics elegance that squeezes huge leaps of logic into a few mathematical statements. After that, the papers show the results and compare with previous studies.
Like x+y = z; Then moves on to show that their algorithm is able to compute the optimal answer of the meaning of life
I always felt so dumb and thought i was the only one, until I tried to implement a paper in path finding, published my implementation, and came with the sensation that very few people understood the implications of some seemingly arbitrary decisions taken in the paper. I got this feeling because people came to the project misled by the paper's scope in real life, and were sad when they found that the assumptions kind of defeated the purpose of path finding. I myself only understood the limited scope until I noticed that by mistake I had extended on the paper, because I misunderstood that the paper was more on the optimization of the path than on path finding itself. Probably did not invent anything but my ego says i did, and knowing academia it would have been enough to publish another paper eheheh
I digress...
