Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….
The 21st-century physics is marked by the search for phenomena from the world of fundamental particles in tabletop materials. In some crystals, electrons move…

The obvious drawback of solar panels is that they require sunlight to generate electricity. Some have observed that for a device on Earth facing space, which…
For vehicles with electric drive to become a lasting presence in society, there needs to be greater flexibility in charging options. To make use of charging…
Graphene is celebrated as an extraordinary material. It consists of pure carbon, only a single atomic layer thick. Nevertheless, it is extremely stable,…
Changyong Cao, director of MSU's Soft Machines and Electronics Laboratory, led a team of scientists in creating highly stretchable supercapacitors for powering…
Completely autonomous vehicles pose an enormous challenge for sensor technology because, in principle, the supporting system must hear, see and feel better…
On its surface, the work is deceptively simple: Shoot a high-power laser beam onto a piece of metal for a fraction of a second and see what happens. But…
Not everything about glass is clear. How its atoms are arranged and behave, in particular, is startlingly opaque.
Gotthard, Montblanc, St. Bernardino – tunnel fires repeatedly cause the ceilings of the seemingly stable tubes to collapse. Infernal temperatures of up to 1000…
A new technique? The result of an international collaboration of scientists from Lehigh University, West Chester University, Osaka University and the…
It seems that sharks glide through the water at high speed without much effort. Microscopically small grooves on their skin help them to achieve this…
A group of researchers from the Higher Technical School of Engineering at the University of Seville have obtained filaments and fibres from highly viscous…
The researchers' novel idea is a porous, sponge-like aerogel, made of reduced graphene oxide, that acts as a free-standing electrode in the battery cell and…
Since 2012, Stefan Freunberger of the Institute for Chemistry and Technology of Materials at TU Graz has been working on development of a new generation of…
The UKP-Workshop has grown once again: More than 170 participants from 14 countries came to Aachen this year to discuss the latest trends in the development of…
