To rule out other origins with certainty, the team led by neutrino physicist Elisa Resconi from the Technical University of Munich and multi-wavelength…
One of these are single-atom magnets: storage devices consisting of individual atoms stuck (“adsorbed”) on a surface, each atom able to store a single bit of…
In fact, one of the most elusive phenomena in physics is the excitation of an atom's nucleus by absorption of an electron. The process, known as “nuclear…
Research by a team led by Dr Elizabeth Fullam, has revealed new findings about an enzyme found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) the bacterium that causes TB.
Now a University of Rochester research team has devised a much simpler way to measure beams of light– even powerful, superfast pulsed laser beams that require…
The banded iron formation, located in western China, has been conclusively dated as Cambrian in age. Approximately 527 million years old, this formation is…
Researchers from Michigan State University and the RIKEN Nishina Center in Japan discovered eight new rare isotopes of the elements phosphorus, sulfur,…
Whirlpools are an everyday experience in a bath tub: When the water is drained a circular vortex is formed. Typically, such whirls are rather stable. Similar…
The aim of the project funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) is to develop an extreme weather monitoring and risk assessment system…
The design of a drug with a desired duration of action, whether long or short, is usually a complicated and expensive trial-and-error process guided only by a…
Laser polishing is a relatively new process that has only been used for selected fields of applications in the industry: for example, machining metals for…
Darmstadt model project is testing the production of the future
To further develop semiconductor technology, the field of molecular electronics is seeking to manufacture circuit components from individual molecules instead…
As every cook has experienced: When balsamic vinegar and olive oil are mixed, both liquids separate. Round vinegar drops form, which then float on the surface…
As a rule, metallic components manufactured additively in a Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process, are designed to have larger-than-usual oversize to allow for…
Knowing how surface materials interact with liquids is crucial to everything from printing to recovering oil spills from water. Being able to accurately and…
