A new computational model could potentially boost efficiencies and profits in natural gas production by better predicting previously hidden fracture mechanics….
For the first time, researchers used benzene – a common hydrocarbon – to create a novel kind of molecular nanotube, which could lead to new nanocarbon-based…
The method commonly used to detect enantiomers is circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. It exploits the fact that light polarized into a circular wave (like a…
Intentionally “squashing” colloidal quantum dots during chemical synthesis creates dots capable of stable, “blink-free” light emission that is fully comparable…
In a recent study from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, scientists have combined two membrane-bound protein complexes to…
Fodder experiments in guinea pigs provide insights into the causes of tooth wear / Findings could allow scientists to reconstruct the feeding behavior and…
The life-threatening blood disorder thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is rare (2-3 people out of every million per year) and affects mainly young,…
The development of metastasis is responsible for more than 90% of cancer-related deaths, and patients with a metastatic disease are considered incurable.
Just like land plants, algae use sunlight as an energy source. Many green algae actively move in the water; they can approach the light or move away from it….
One of the most important prerequisites for sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility is minimizing friction. Research and industry have been dedicated…
The sensor is made up of a series of gold disk-shaped nanoparticles on a glass slide. The team at Bath discovered that when they shone an infra-red laser at a…
The work could someday lead to more effective therapies and diagnostics for cancer and other illnesses.
Astronomers using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have discovered the brightest quasar ever seen in the early Universe — the light received from…
With funding provided by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the Collaborative Research Center/Transregio 128, researchers at the Medical Center of…
Transistors are needed wherever current flows, and they are an indispensable component of virtually all electronic switches. In the field of power electronics,…
Spintronic oscillators are a kind of nano components in which spin waves are used to generate microwave signals in the gigahertz range. Spin wave overtones can…
