The switch's record-breaking performance is a major new step toward building a computer that uses light instead of electricity to process information. Relying…
The terahertz frequency range – which sits in the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and infrared light — offers the potential for…
A new solar power generator prototype developed by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and research teams in the United States, will be deployed on the…
The fact that they behave to each other like image and mirror image is called chirality (from the Greek cheiro for hand). In nature, however, often only one…
In recent years, with the reduction of anthropogenic inorganic nitrogen emissions, interest in organic nitrogen (ON) has increased because it represents a…
Why are the essential genes important in cancer?
The AgriVoltaics2020 will address different aspects of the technology, from research to applications. Specialists in the areas of plant science and agronomy,…
Nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) are major contributors to air pollution. In order to accurately predict air quality and develop strategies to reduce pollution,…
2020 will be a defining year for electromobility in the global vehicle industry: that’s when the EU’s binding fleet-wide CO2 emission targets come into effect.
Additive manufacturing systems can generate highly complex components, which could not be produced with conventional machine tools or only with great effort….
Today, the best silicon solar cells in the world have an efficiency of 24 percent. The theoretical limit is around 29 percent. “This is because silicon…
The development and introduction of machines ranging from highly automated to driverless will have a strong impact on global agriculture. This inevitably…
A light beam is usually divided by being directed onto a partially reflecting mirror: Part of the light is then reflected back to create the mirror image. The…
Some of the most biologically active molecules, including synthetic drugs, contain a central, nitrogen-containing chemical structure called an isoquinuclidine….
A lightweight material full of holes is nearly as hard as diamond. The mere dents left by speeding bullets prove it.
That's the conclusion of a team of metabolism scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Morgridge Institute for Research, who are working to…
