How an electron behaves in an atom, or how it moves in a solid, can be predicted precisely with the equations of quantum mechanics. These theoretical…
Polystyrene foam boards (PS) are the most common insulation material, used in more than 90% of all thermal insulation composite systems (TICS). There have been…
Yoshizaki explains, “Knowing the composition and interior structure of rocky planets tells us about formation conditions, how and when the core separated from…
In addition, the technologies of birefringence patterning have been also used for generating light beams with spatially variant polarization known as vector…
A KAIST research team in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison theoretically suggested a graphene-based active metasurface capable of…
In spite of intensive prevention and early detection efforts, colorectal cancer is becoming increasingly common, especially in industrialized nations. Health…
If you want to detect differences between two photos, you can use software to subtract one image from the other. Identical areas become black, while the areas…
Staff at telephone workstations are permanently confronted in their everyday work with different acoustic effects. Incoming calls vary in sound quality and…
The variety of finch species on the remote Galapagos Islands is the most prominent example for Charles Darwin’s and Alfred R. Wallace’s theory of evolution…
Many socially monogamous bird species engage in sexual behaviour outside their pair bond, often resulting in extra-pair young. However, despite decades of…
The success of life on earth is based on the amazing ability of living cells to divide themselves into two daughter cells. During such a division process, the…
Prof. Wolfram Ressel, Rector of the University of Stuttgart, welcomed the inauguration of the new supercomputer: “Hawk expands the University of Stuttgart's…
A few years ago researchers could already show that a certain physical effect – the spin-orbit torque – makes particularly fast data storage possible. Now…
Security of embedded devices is essential in today's internet-connected world. Security is typically guaranteed mathematically using a small secret key to…
Light waves perform several hundred trillion oscillations per second. Hence, it is natural to envision employing light oscillations to drive the electronic…
If we could travel four billion years back in time, we would find ourselves in a rather inhospitable environment: an atmosphere in which we would suffocate…
