«Our studies reveal a large superconducting pairing gap on the topological surface states of thin films of the bismuth selenide topological insulator when grown on BSCCO,» Fedorov says. (sciencedaily.com)
The results of this research are presented in the journal Nature Physics in a paper titled «Fully gapped topological surface states in Bi2Se3 induced by a d - wave high temperature superconductor.» (sciencedaily.com)
Whereas meteorological variables like temperature, humidity, winds and precipitation were routinely measured at weather stations around the world, there were little or no observations of land surface states like soil temperature, moisture, and snow mass, or important terms of surface energy and water budgets such as shortwave and longwave radiation, evaporation or sensible heat fluxes.
