Radar sensors are important components for modern automobility. Not least due to the rapid developments being made in the field of autonomous driving, the…
Climate change is toppling our Earth's ecosystems out of balance in multiple ways, with often dramatic consequences. But surprisingly, the underlying processes…
Quantum dot-based color filters for micro-LEDs are one of the most promising future technologies for displays. This technology makes displays even more…
A laser beam hits the eye. This sounds more like a risk of injury at first, but in this case it opens up a chance of healing. “We use laser light to obtain…
In a paper in Science this week, Penn researchers report the first detailed molecular characterization of how every cell changes during animal embryonic…
A study by University of Washington oceanographers, published this summer in Nature Microbiology, looks at how photosynthetic microbes and ocean bacteria use…
Silicon solar cells rely on metal electrodes on their front and rear sides to carry the electrical energy generated in the semiconductor material from light…
While the Standard Model of Particle Physics has remained mostly unchanged since its initial conception, experimental observations for neutrinos have forced…
Pulsars are fast-spinning neutron stars that concentrate 40% more mass than the Sun – or more! – into a small sphere of only about 20 km diameter. They have…
Energy consumption is growing across the globe; electric power is being relied upon more and more, and sustainable energy supplies such as wind and solar power…
“Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is an acute condition like meningococcus – if you get exposed to the organism you can be dead within a matter of days or…
A research team at Fritz-Haber Institute in Berlin, headed by Dr. Takashi Kumagai, demonstrated tip-enhanced “resonance” Raman spectroscopy.
Computer chips are getting increasingly smaller. That's not new: Gordon Moore, one of the founders of chip manufacturer Intel, already predicted it in 1965….
Light-emitting diodes made of indium gallium nitride provide better luminescence efficiency than many of the other materials used to create blue and green…
Dr. Passant Atallah, Dr. Lucas Schirmer, Dr. Uwe Freudenberg and Prof. Dr. Carsten Werner from the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden e.V. (IPF)…
Lithium-ion batteries are well established due to their good properties. They have a higher energy density than other batteries. Therefore, they are used in…
