In a report on the technique's development, published June 26 in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the researchers describe their novel molecular approach to…
Current semiconductor logic devices within our computers use the flow and control of electronic charge for information processing. Spintronic memory devices…
“There's a lot of interest in one day sending probes to the lakes, and when that's done, you want to have a safe landing, and you don't want a lot of wind,”…
“2D layered materials can be made by vacuum (chemical vapor) deposition,” said Melik C. Demirel, Pierce Development Professor and professor of engineering…
The Higgs amplitude mode is a condensed matter cousin of the Higgs boson, the storied quantum particle theorized in the 1960s and proven experimentally in…
The ice sheet has been shrinking since 1900 and the yearly loss of ice has doubled since 2003, other researchers have shown. The accelerated melting of the…
In a recent publication, Aalto University researchers show that in a transparent medium each photon is accompanied by an atomic mass density wave. The optical…
The motion of a tennis racket in the air can help predict the behavior of quanta. “Using an analogy from classical physics aids us in more efficiently…
There are around 550 different bee species in Germany. Most of them are solitary bees. They don't live in large beehives like the honeybee, but each female bee…
The field of optogenetics wants to open up new applications in biomedicine, biotechnology and substance development using light-controlled proteins and bio…
New research into the way that honeybees see colour could pave the way for more accurate cameras in phones, drones and robots.
“Mollusc shells are viewed by the aquaculture and seafood industries as 'nuisance waste' and largely disposed of in landfills”, says Dr Morris. “Not only is…
Enceladus's plumes are thought to originate in water escaping from a subsurface ocean through cracks in the moon's icy surface. Eventually these plumes feed…
Living organisms aim to preserve their genomic integrity to maintain cellular functions and to pass on the correct genetic information to following…
“This could have potentially big implications for the agricultural industry,” says Dr Pullen, “Our model plant is in the same family as cabbages, so it's easy…
The technology could also enable a new class of devices that can be powered by harvesting energy from low-power sources, such as the body or the surrounding…
