Another qualitative leap in the techniques of detecting small amounts of chemical compounds will most likely involve Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy…
These 2-D materials can be prepared in crystalline sheets as thin as a single monolayer, only one or a few atoms thick. Within a monolayer, electrons are…
At 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday morning the High-Altitude and Long-Range Research Aircraft (HALO) left the German Aerospace Center Airbase in Oberpfaffenhofen, and…
Receding glaciers and dwindling snowfalls pose a threat to meltwater-dependent agriculture in large parts of the high mountain regions of South Asia. A…
For the past 30 years intense laser cluster interactions have been seen primarily as a way to generate energetic ions and electrons. In surprising contrast…
Up to 1000 pollen per second flow by the optical window in a narrow channel on the stamp sized chip. A digital camera captures each of the tiny single grains…
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common hereditary neuropathy and affects more than two million people worldwide. Alone in Germany, at least…
A material that consists of atoms of a single element, but has completely different properties depend-ing on the atomic arrangement – this may sound strange,…
Scientists are experimenting with narrow strips of graphene, called nanoribbons, in hopes of making cool new electronic devices, but University of California,…
A team at Scripps Research has come up with a faster way to analyze the outcome of experimental vaccines against HIV and other pathogens. Their new system lets…
What happens when really powerful magnets–capable of producing magnetic fields nearly two million times stronger than Earth's–are applied to materials that…
By combining NASA satellite imagery with wildlife surveys conducted by state natural resources agencies, a team of researchers at Utah State University and the…
The tropical rainforest with its permanently wet climate brims over with an abundance of plant species. Flowers of all sizes with shallow to deep tubes offer a…
The precise interaction of brain waves and nerve cells may be decisive for the amazing ability of our brain to separate important from unimportant information,…
Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common form of inflammatory joint conditions. In contrast to osteoarthritis, where patients’ joints degenerate, the symptoms…
