“One limiting factor in the use of alginate hydrogels is that they're very fragile — they tend to fall apart under mechanical load or in low salt solutions,”…
“When we look at how natural tessellation occurs in nature, the individual cells grow simultaneously, and each individual cell does not necessarily know who…
Mitochondria are not only responsible for many vital processes within a cell; they also produce energy for the cell's metabolism, which is why they are…
Thanks to their unique stacked layout, a higher storage capacity and, ultimately, a greater range of the vehicle are achieved using the same surface area.
Thermoelectric materials can convert heat into electricity or, vice versa, can be used as environmentally friendly cooling elements.
Particle accelerators are usually large and costly, but that will soon change if researchers have their way. The Accelerator on a Chip International Program…
During the course of the step-by-step upgrading of Wendelstein 7-X, the plasma vessel was fitted with inner cladding since September of last year.
Current control in electronics that is one million times faster than in today's systems is a dream for many. Ultimately, current control is one of the most…
In recent years, solar cells based on metal halide perovskites have achieved an exceptional increase in efficiency.
For the first time, physicists from the University of Würzburg have successfully positioned an organic molecule on a substrate realizing two stable…
The chemists at MLU rely on electrons moving freely in water, so-called hydrated electrons, to degrade dissolved pollutants.
To travel by public transport, passengers must present a valid ticket. Often, tickets are checked before departure, so that only passengers with a ticket are…
In a paper published Nov. 21 in Science Robotics, chemical engineer Zhenan Bao and her team demonstrated that the sensors work well enough to allow a robotic…
When a pathogen enters their colony, ants change their behavior to avoid the outbreak of disease. In this way, they protect the queen, brood and young workers…
If the sea turns red or green, phytoplankton is at work – countless microscopic algae, which use sunlight to generate energy and cause coloration.
Researchers from the TU Berlin Chair of Ceramic Materials collaborated with the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing to produce complex…
