Young scientists spearhead breakthrough COVID-19 research in international collaboration. Molecular biophysics study investigates how coronavirus’ variants of concern attachment strength to human cells influences COVID-19’s spread and transmissibility. A recent…
Droplets sliding over surfaces are relevant for many applications. The movement of the droplets is determined not only by the mechanical properties of the surface. A team led by Hans-Jürgen…
X-ray reveal how lattice and atomic spins jiggle together. Scientists have revealed how lattice vibrations and spins talk to each other in a hybrid excitation known as an electromagnon. To…
Particle accelerators hold great potential for semiconductor applications, medical imaging and therapy, and research in materials, energy and medicine. But conventional accelerators require plenty of elbow room — kilometers —…
Adaptive optics (AO) is a technique used for real-time correction of phase aberrations by employing feedback to adjust the optical system. Polarization aberrations represent another significant type of distortion that…
The Lorentz reciprocal theorem can now be applied to fluids with broken symmetries. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) in Göttingen have found a way…
