The freezing point of water is anything but a clear subject. Small droplets of the purest water only freeze at minus 37 degrees Celsius. Crystalization nuclei…
Everyday objects possess properties independently of each other and regardless of whether we observe them or not. Einstein famously asked whether the moon…
Locating natural resources at the sea ground so far involves high costs. To reduce these, the Laser Development and Material and Processes departments at the…
Twenty six years ago, on 24 April 1990, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit aboard the space shuttle Discovery as the first space…
Dr. William “Barney” Balch's team at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences has been sampling the waters of the Gulf of Maine regularly over the same transect…
Hybrid batteries that charge faster than conventional ones could have significantly better electrical capacity and long-term stability when prepared with a…
Myopia, also known as short-sightedness or near-sightedness, is the most common disorder affecting the eyesight and it is on the increase. The causes are both…
Zero is a magic number. It stands for emptiness, for nothing – and yet it is considered one of the greatest cultural achievements of humankind, making the…
Researchers of the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) will introduce their latest developments in the field of bionic lightweight design at Hannover Messe from 25…
We present light-emitting electrochemical cells based on hybrid lead halide perovskite nanoparticles. The latter are not oxygen sensitive and therefore the LEECs can be produced from solution or by spraying. The resulting LEECs are characterized by a four layer structure. They feature moderate luminance (> 2 cd/m2) and efficacies (> 0.02 cd/A), but high stabilities even after keeping
the devices under ambient conditions.
A team of researchers from across the country, led by Alexander Spott, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, have built the first quantum cascade laser…
“We found significant differences for all the impacts we considered,” says the study’s lead author Carl Schleussner, a scientific advisor at Climate Analytics…
According to the study led by the U.S. Geological Survey, two traits were identified that indicate how chemicals can build up and reach toxic levels: how…
Sea ice physicists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), are anticipating that the sea ice cover in the…
The public release of foxBMS, including all the hardware schematics, the software source code and documentation, is scheduled for the end of 2016. The system…
