Most neutron detectors work based on one of two different technologies. Some, like those based on helium, are gas-filled. Others, like those based on lithium…
Designing components for molecular self-assembly calls for functionalities that ‘interlock’. For example, our genetic information is encoded in two DNA…
Whether a sick cell dies, divides, or travels through the body is regulated by a sophisticated interplay of signal molecules and receptors on the cell…
Microplastics are becoming more and more widespread, especially in water. The term “microplastics” refers to plastic particles ranging in size from a few…
Microtubules, filamentous structures within the cell, are required for many important processes, including cell division and intracellular transport. A…
Laser metal deposition (LMD) is an additive, powder-based production process for metals. This type of 3D printings allows for large construction parts and very…
Water is a mysterious substance. Understanding its behaviour on an atomic scale remains a challenge for experimentalists as the light hydrogen and oxygen atoms…
On March 18, 2020, LKH2 attendees will be treated to a wide range of presentations covering the use of laser technology in the realm of hydrogen: the first…
“Which bacteria are found in which part of the machine? And what are the factors involved? Those were our initial questions,” explains the project leader,…
Nine sources of extremely high-energy gamma rays comprise a new catalog compiled by researchers with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray…
The innovative T.-Cossa Lab, which studies applied single-molecule biophysics, came up with the idea to provide the research community with the protocols,…
The biological processes in the human body are complex – thus, decoding disease-inducing processes are challenging. Diseases with a contribution of the immune…
Intentional defects in batteries have given Rice University scientists a window into the hazards of pushing lithium-ion cells too far.
Los Alamos scientists have incorporated meticulously engineered colloidal quantum dots into a new type of light emitting diodes (LEDs) containing an integrated…
Over a quarter of the Everglades are encompassed in the Everglades Agricultural Area. The Everglades Agricultural Area includes 700,000 acres of farmland where…
How do female insects manage to keep the sperm fresh for months after mating? This is a central question of the sperm biologists of the Chair of Applied…
