In their study, using fundamental mechanics equations and experiments in modeling materials, researchers show that the square shape provides greater rigidity…
Up to now, if scientists wanted to study blood cells, algae, or bacteria under the microscope, they had to mount these cells on a substrate such as a glass…
One problem, however, has been the difficulty of chemically synthesizing these biomolecules, particularly in larger ring-sizes. Current methods require a large…
We all know that water melts at 0°C. However, already 150 years ago the famous physicist Michael Faraday discovered that at the surface of frozen ice, well…
The characteristic shine of metals is created by electrons which can freely move in the interior of the material and reflect incoming radiation. Similar to…
Under stressful life conditions many proteins lose their functionality. A natural mechanism that can be found in all cells leads to the preferred synthesis of…
“Curiosity-driven research” is what Kortz calls his approach. “We try to produce new compounds. Initially, possible applications don’t play the dominant role;…
The Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) is a method for increasing the plasma temperature and driving currents in magnetically-confined fusion plasmas by injecting…
About 90 percent of precipitation over land depends on the formation of ice crystals in clouds, which fall down due to their increasing weight. But water in…
Scientists at the University of Bonn have succeeded in observing an important cell protein at work. To do this, they used a method that allows to measure…
This study lies at the very heart of understanding and being able to control properties of molecular structures. Pharma and agrichem industries attach great…
The day of charging cellphones with finger swipes and powering Bluetooth headsets simply by walking is now much closer.
In a paper published in Nature Physics, a team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Tennessee and the Department of…
In addition to the four research foci, the emphasis lies on knowledge transfer, patents and start-up initiatives. Examples of excellent individual research…
Six European research teams including Dr. Michell Reimer and his team at the DFG-Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) – Cluster of Excellence at…
The research results achieved by Professor Moses Chung of Natural Science at UNIST in collaboration with the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) of…
