An international team of researchers has developed a new light-based manipulation method that could one day be used to mass produce electronic components for…
The method, which has not yet been demonstrated experimentally, essentially would speed up the process of quantum entanglement in which the properties of…
Astrophysicist Dr. Andreas Bauswein from the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) has successfully acquired a Starting Grant from the European…
The projects on designing elements of a quantum computer and ultra-precise atomic clock based on trapped ultracold atoms and ions are being discussed. The…
Imagine a miniature device that suffuses each room in your house with a different hue of the rainbow–purple for the living room, perhaps, blue for the…
A team of researchers led by Dartmouth College may have finally solved the problem of how to inexpensively improve wireless signal strength for indoor spaces…
A Washington State University researcher has discovered that vast amounts of carbon can be stored by soil minerals more than a foot below the surface. The…
The regulation of the sugar and lipid balance in the body is a vital function of the liver: In times without food intake, the liver produces glucose, a sugar,…
At first glance, colloids resemble homogeneous liquids such as milk or blood plasma. But in fact they consist of particles in suspension. Some colloids have…
“Larger males have better chances of procreating than their smaller rivals,” says Dr Stephanie Krüger, the study’s lead author. The researcher works alongside…
Unlike its presence at high altitude where ozone acts as Earth's sunscreen from harmful ultraviolet radiation, at low altitudes, ozone is a health hazard…
A new study shows that a 70-year-old malaria drug can block immune cells in the liver so nanoparticles can arrive at their intended tumor site, overcoming a…
“Not many real metamaterial devices have been developed,” says Elena Semouchkina, an associate professor of electrical engineering at Michigan Technological…
In the past decade, a new type of material has attracted raising attraction: the so-called topological insulator. This class of materials exhibits a very…
Wood is not just a conventional material, it also has great innovation potential as a high-tech component and raw material for chemistry. This is one of the…
They calculated the first internationally comparable greenhouse gas footprints for four cities from developed and developing countries: Berlin, New York,…
