Penn State scientists have devised a new method to predict superconducting materials that could work at higher temperatures. Their model bridges classical superconductivity theory with quantum mechanics through zentropy theory. This breakthrough could guide the discovery of powerful, resistance-free materials for real-world use and transform energy technology.

Anchorage, Alaska – FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) is now available for residents in the Lower Kuskokwim Regional Educational Attendance Area, Lower Yukon Regional Educational Attendance Area and Northwest Arctic Borough who were affected by the severe storms, flooding and remnants of Typhoon Halong from Oct. 8-13. 

If you wish to see if you are eligible for FEMA assistance you will need to apply with FEMA even if you have already registered with the State of Alaska for assistance. 

You can apply for FEMA assistance by calling FEMA’s dedicated Alaska Call Center at (866) 342-1699, visiting DisasterAssistance.gov or using the FEMA app. The FEMA Helpline is also available at (800) 621-3362.

In addition to IA, the Lower Kuskokwim Regional Educational Attendance Area, Lower Yukon Regional Educational Attendance Area and Northwest Arctic Borough are approved for FEMA Public Assistance, which provides supplemental grants to state, tribal and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged.

Researchers have made germanium superconducting for the first time, a feat that could transform computing and quantum technologies. Using molecular beam epitaxy to embed gallium atoms precisely, the team stabilized the crystal structure to carry current without resistance. The discovery paves the way for scalable, energy-efficient quantum devices and cryogenic electronics.
