Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials. Knowledge obtained by these new measurements, published in Nano Letters, could be used to advance technologies ranging from traditional computing to the…

Some people don’t feel like they’re working unless their hair’s on fire. Somehow, they think it’s admirable to be feverish at a frenzied pace, breathless and full of urgency, turning tasks in record time and pushing the team to accelerate. Surely others will take notice and marvel at such hard work.

But it’s not necessary. In fact, it’s not even the best way. Taking extra time…

Manufacturing is a fast-paced, constantly evolving, and dynamic environment, and the supply chain is at its heart. For small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs), navigating the complexities of the supply chain often feels like a high-stakes balancing act. From juggling fluctuating material costs and delivery delays to meeting shifting market demands, it’s not always easy to maintain smooth…
