Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) have managed to control the behavior of individual bacteria by connecting them to a…
The absorption of electromagnetic radiation — light, among other things — is one of the main effects of electromagnetism. This process takes place when…
Nanoscale heat flow plays a crucial role in many modern electronic and optoelectronic applications, such as thermal management, photodetection, thermoelectrics…
Worldwide, the use of buildings accounts for 40 percent of total energy consumption. Around half of this is used for climate control. Although blinds and other…
The sea urchin spines are mostly made of calcite, usually a very brittle and fragile material. In the case of the sea urchin, however, the spines are much more…
The most basic of all physical interactions in nature is that between light and matter. This interaction takes place in attosecond times (i.e. billionths of a…
In a recent study, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, in collaboration with High Field Magnet Laboratory (HFML-EMFL), Netherlands; Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD-EMFL) and Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland show extremely large conductivity in a semimetal, WP2. The conductivity of ~ 3 x 108 W-1cm-1in WP2 at 2 K is comparable to highly conducting metals like potassium and copper of the similar purity. The authors identified two major reasons for diminished scattering…
In a recent study, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden demonstrated unambiguous evidence for macroscopic…
Graphene ribbons that are only a few atoms wide, so-called graphene nanoribbons, have special electrical properties that make them promising candidates for the…
The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) has approved the renewal application for the Collaborative Research Center (CRC,…
The authors specifically studied IgG antibodies.* These are the most common antibodies in blood and act especially against viruses and bacteria. “They have a…
The approach overcomes the limitation of conventional chip-testing methods on the so-called 3-D chips, which include many thin horizontal “floors” connected to…
When renowned University of Toronto (U of T) geophysicist J. Tuzo Wilson cemented concepts in the emerging field of plate tectonics in the 1960s, he…
In a new publication in the journal eLife, first authors Jennifer Fogel from USC, Daniel Lakeland from Lakeland Applied Sciences and colleagues examine the…
