Physics researchers identify new multiple Majorana zero modes in superconducting SnTe

A collaborative research team has identified the world's first multiple Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in a single vortex of the superconducting topological crystalline insulator SnTe and exploited crystal symmetry to control the coupling between the MZMs. This discovery, published in Nature, offers a new pathway to realizing fault-tolerant quantum computers. The team was led by Prof. Junwei Liu, Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), and Prof Jinfeng Jia and Prof Yaoyi Li from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). MZM is a zero-energy topologically nontrivial quasiparticle in a superconductor that obeys non-Abelian statistics, allowing for inequivalent braiding sequences, even though the total number of exchanges is the same. This contrasts with ordinary particles, such as electrons or photons, where different braiding always results in the same final state. This unique property protects MZMs from local perturbations, making them an ideal platform for robust fault-tolerant quantum computation.

We seem to have hit on a really good one here, thanks to a collaboration between MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).  I couldn’t even cram all the benefits of this thing into my diary title.  

This device breaks the record for rate of fresh water production from seawater by a solar device, and as awesome as that is, it’s actually kind of a charming side note.  The bigger breakthrough is that the device can keep running up near this rate for a long time without getting fouled by salt accumulation, and it does this by emulating natural processes that occur in the sea.  That cuts costs by about 10x compared to typical solar desalination, making the cost of the fresh water it produces comparable to that of tap water.

This is real, as legit as MIT and SJTU... which is pretty legit.

One of the onrushing 21st century crises is fresh water, but if we can convert sea water cheaply & efficiently then that particular crisis is solved!

Week 8: Cost Breakdown!

Okay 8 weeks in let's get down to business, how much money have I spent and where. First of all, there is the tuition which was base of $5,205 which includes housing and tuition for 3 months in addition to various trips that were planned by IPE. Through the trips, they likely spend a decent amount of money. However, I got a scholarship for $3,500 which most people in the program got if not more. The most pricy part of the program was probably the plane tickets which was approximately $2,000 for a round trip. Since coming to China, I’ve spent ~12,000RMB (1,500 USD). Here is a breakdown of my other expenses and how far everything can go.

In the first week, I spent a lot of my money on various dorm necessities like toilet paper, trashbags, and miscellaneous expenses. In total, it added up to approximately $300RMB (40USD) which is fairly cheap for all the little purchases that added up. Here is the rest of the breakdown for the past 8 weeks.

Utilities/Essentials: 504 RMB (68.85USD)

This includes hot water which we need to pay for separately which isn’t too bad since it is so hot I don’t end up using the hot water much and this also includes laundry which I do often because the hot weather makes me sweat through all my clothes at a lighting pace.

Food: 2043.18 RMB (279.12 USD)

This is crazy cheap considering I only eat out and I don’t pay attention to my food budget whatsoever (before I decided this blog was going to be a cost report). However, this is just my actual meals, I summed my snacks/drinks separately.

Snacks/Drinks: 1469 RMB (209.86 USD)

How have I spent almost the same amount on snacks and drinks as real food? I am ashamed but also it is so easy to buy snacks here and there when there is a convenience store everywhere (including in our dorm) and each snack is approximately 1 USD but those costs can add up for sure.

Shopping: 2964.3 RMB (404.92 USD)

It is sooo easy to spend so much on clothes when everything here is so cheap and cute. I also have been buying gifts and souvenirs for friends and family back home but I think I definitely need to reel in my shopping addiction.

Experiences: 1261.56 RMB (180.14 USD)

This includes fees and transportation for miscellaneous activities such as watching Inside Out 2 (which was really good), doing an escape room, going to a gaming cafe, or exploring downtown. This I would say was all 100% worth it.

Solo Trip: 3290 RMB (449.45 USD)

A few weeks ago, I went on a 4-day solo trip around Shanghai to Hangzhou and Nanjing. I ended up spending 449.45 USD for the train tickets which were approximately 120 RMB (17 USD) each and for the hotel rooms which were 340 RMB (48 USD) per night. Although, my friend who took a solo trip to Chongqing only spent 150 RMB on a hotel so it can definitely vary a lot. It was definitely worth the experience and you can definitely solo travel for even less money too!

Hopefully this helps put in perspective what studying abroad means in regards to money. To be honest, I have not been the most careful with money, because my parents have money in RMB that they won’t be using anytime soon. Regardless, hopefully my breakdown was helpful!

See ya next week!

Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water

MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids salt-clogging issues of other designs.

Jennifer Chu | MIT News

Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean, and powered by the sun.

In a paper appearing today in the journal Joule, the team outlines the design for a new solar desalination system that takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight.

The configuration of the device allows water to circulate in swirling eddies, in a manner similar to the much larger “thermohaline” circulation of the ocean. This circulation, combined with the sun’s heat, drives water to evaporate, leaving salt behind. The resulting water vapor can then be condensed and collected as pure, drinkable water. In the meantime, the leftover salt continues to circulate through and out of the device, rather than accumulating and clogging the system.

The new system has a higher water-production rate and a higher salt-rejection rate than all other passive solar desalination concepts currently being tested.

The researchers estimate that if the system is scaled up to the size of a small suitcase, it could produce about 4 to 6 liters of drinking water per hour and last several years before requiring replacement parts. At this scale and performance, the system could produce drinking water at a rate and price that is cheaper than tap water.

“For the first time, it is possible for water, produced by sunlight, to be even cheaper than tap water,” says Lenan Zhang, a research scientist in MIT’s Device Research Laboratory.

The team envisions a scaled-up device could passively produce enough drinking water to meet the daily requirements of a small family. The system could also supply off-grid, coastal communities where seawater is easily accessible.

Zhang’s study co-authors include MIT graduate student Yang Zhong and Evelyn Wang, the Ford Professor of Engineering, along with Jintong Gao, Jinfang You, Zhanyu Ye, Ruzhu Wang, and Zhenyuan Xu of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.

Week 12: Chengdu

Ahh, the end is incoming! Right before finals week, we are having one more hurrah with a program wide trip to Chengdu—the capital of spice, pandas, and nightlife. So right before I get absolutley cooked by finals, come with me to explore Chengdu.

Day 1

Our trip started at the crack of dawn as we were supposed to hop on a bus at 5:10am Guess when I woke up? 5:20 . But fortunately, for me, our program is chronically late so I still managed to hop on the bus to the airport on time with a double shot of adrenaline anndd without my bag of clothes for the weekend.

Okay okay, shaky start but after a solid two hour nap and a hot meal we finally arrived in Chengdu and oh my goodness there are pandas everywhere! The subway handles, the ATMs, the souvenirs all are an homage to pandas which was absolutely adorable!

Our hotel was really nice and clean with a pretty good location as it was quite close to downtown. The first day was a bit of a free for all, once we arrived. We ended up exploring a fancy mall with a lot of bougie stores way out of our price range but it was really pretty. There, we grabbed lunch and a Chengdu special—a bowl of peppers—which actually wasn't that spicy but it was annoying to pick through the peppers to find the meat. Then, we went to Urban Revivo which has become my favorite chain for shopping in China because we found a three story one and as forementioned, I forgot to bring clothes. But I just want to gush about Urban Revivo because why is everything so cute, good quality, and so affordable, ranging from 70-200 CYN (10-30 USD). After some retail therapy, we grabbed dinner in an outdoor hotpot place right outside of the subway station. The temperature was sweltering and the portions were actually quite small, but it was a unique experience!

After the sun set we went to experience the quintessential travel destination for chinese city we’ve been to—we hit up the ancient night market. This one had a lot of Turkish and Tibetan experiences. We tried lots of snacks from dragon’s beard to Turkish ice cream before going out to experience the nightlife.

Day 2

Day two, was much more calm, still getting up at the crack of dawn to go to a famous irrigation system that was created by the king around 300 BCE to divert the river to the fertile plains of Chengdu. I was so impressed with the sheer force of the river that was flowing through and how people 2300 years ago managed to tame and harness it! We had a scrumptious dinner paid for by the program before heading off to climb a mountain. Although my friend and I were feeling a bit sleepy and headed back for a nap.

This turned out to be a good call because immediately after getting back,Chengdu got hit by a torrential downpour that made climbing a muddy, miserable nightmare. Instead, after our calm nap we had a lockin session for our finals at a local coffee shop.

We still experienced some torrential downpour when we went to a famous fountain with lightup bamboo shoots but we got some fire pics so it was definitely worth it! By the time we were done, all the restaurants were closed so we went to the ol’ reliable Haidilao which somehow was more delicious than ever!

Day 3

Day three was a grueling trek through a panda resort before hopping on a flight back. No but why was the panda resort walk the hardest walk of all? I think the fact that there was so shade really made the difference. I think the most enjoyable experience was just chatting it up with my study abroad friends for hours at a time and I think the walk definitely made the nap on the plane back infinitely better.

Okay so final stretch! As we head into exam week, I feel extra refreshed and ready to lock in.

See you next week!

Visa and Legal Issues: Navigating the visa application procedure and meeting the host country's legal requirements can be complicated and time-consuming. Students must follow all regulations to prevent legal problems.

Before applying to a foreign university, prospective students should ensure that the institution is accredited and recognized by relevant medical authorities and organizations.

Curriculum and Language of Instruction: Understanding the curriculum and medium of instruction is critical. Some colleges provide English-medium programs, whilst others may require knowledge in the native language.

Entrance tests and eligibility standards vary by country and university. Students should thoroughly research the criteria and plan accordingly.

Financial planning requires estimating the whole cost of education, which includes tuition, living expenses, and travel expenditures. Students should look into scholarships and financial aid possibilities.

Post-Graduation Opportunities: Understanding post-graduate opportunities, like as residency programs, job prospects, and the procedure of practicing medicine in the host or home country, is essential for career planning.

Conclusion Pursuing an MBBS degree overseas can be a transformative experience, providing high-quality education, global exposure, and a wide range of employment prospects. However, it also presents a number of hurdles, including cultural adaption, financial considerations, and regulatory constraints. To make informed judgments, aspiring students must perform extensive study, meticulous planning, and seek advice from educational advisors and alumni. With careful planning and determination, studying MBBS abroad can lead to a successful and rewarding medical career.
