A Rice University lab wants its products to look sharp, even at the nanoscale. Its latest creation is right on target.
In order to understand advanced materials like graphene nanostructures and optimize them for devices in nano-, opto- and quantum-technology it is crucial to…
A wave consists of antinodes and nodes. If you imagine this on a rope, the antinodes are the areas which swing up and down, whereas nodes are the points in…
Most states of matter are characterized by the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking, e.g., the periodic arrangement of atoms in a solid breaks the…
The City Science Summit 2019 is organized by the CityScienceLab of the HafenCity University Hamburg (HCU) in cooperation with the Media Lab of the…
Recycling is also a vital process in the cells of the human body. Using the process known as autophagy, cells break down defective and therefore potentially…
Crunching, the serrated metal roller eats its way into the battery modules, crushes the plastic frames, slits the silver foils of the lithium polymer packs,…
“With the help of biophotonics, it is possible, for example, to better understand the causes of diseases so that they can be prevented in the future or at…
Many phenomena of the natural world evidence symmetries in their dynamic evolution which help researchers to better understand a system’s inner mechanism. In…
After an egg is fertilized, it begins to divide and passes through several stages. Cells in the two-cell stage are totipotent–they can become any type of…
The beginning of this project dates back to 2012-2013, when team leader Ayrat Dimiev was working at Rice University, Houston, TX, USA, with Professor James…
Invisible to the human eye, molecular interactions between gases and liquids underpin much of our lives, including the absorption of oxygen molecules into our…
Most people with a medical condition called long QT syndrome have a mutation in a gene that causes bouts of fast, chaotic heartbeats. They also experience…
The HADES detector system on the GSI and FAIR campus in Darmstadt, as tall as a house, provides researchers with exciting insights into the events of the…
You know you have a skeleton, but did you know that your cells have skeletons, too? Cellular skeletons, or cytoskeletons, are shapeshifting networks of tiny…
Stem cells hold the key to wound healing, as they develop into specialised cell types throughout the body – including in teeth.
