A new method of discovering materials using data analytics and electron microscopy has found a new class of extremely hard alloys. Such materials could…
Many plant processes are not different from humans: Cells and tissues in grain plants, including maize also communicate through electrical signals.
As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever. The laws of physics confirm this: on our planet, all processes increase entropy, thus molecular disorder. For…
Phase-change materials are used in the latest generation of smartphones enabling higher storage densities and energy efficiency. Data is recorded by switching…
Ferroelectricity is a state in which the constituent lattice “looks” in one specific direction, forming a macroscopic electrical polarisation. The ability to…
The flow of traffic through our nation's highways and byways is meticulously mapped and studied, but less is known about how materials in cells travel. Now, a…
UTokyo researchers have created an electronic component that demonstrates functions and abilities important to future generations of computational logic and…
The ever-increasing demand on bandwidth and information density in ICs call for the micro/nano functional devices capable of being fabricated in…
It is the small details that determine a material’s properties:
Parts of the genetic information of many microorganisms are located on so-called plasmids. These are genetic elements which consist of a single DNA ring, and…
Time-consuming destructive inspection methods used in quality assurance result in enormous costs, as the product is damaged or even destroyed during the…
A team of researchers from the University of Konstanz’s CRC 1214 “Anisotropic Particles as Building Blocks: Tailoring Shape, Interactions and Structures”,…
Communication between cells and inflammation
Back pain is one of the leading causes for disability around the world. In the European Union alone, the economic costs of lower back pain (LBP) amounts to…
The Earth’s gravity fluctuates from place to place. Geodesists use this phenomenon to observe geodynamic and climatological processes. Using…
Infections with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) are a global health problem. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), more than 260 million people…
