Where light and motion become one
The laws of quantum physics apply in general at very small scales, governing the behaviour of elementary particles or atoms. Tobias Kippenberg, professor at…
A novel platform for future spintronic technologies
The field can bring significant advantages to computer technology, combining higher speeds with lower energy consumption. Spintronic circuits need ways to…
A new synthetic amino acid for an emerging class of drugs
Such properties are directly related to the 3D structure of the drug molecule. Ideally, the drug should have a shape that is perfectly complementary to a…
NASA's Hubble Finds Dwarf Galaxies Formed More Than Their Fair Share of Universe's Stars
Studying this early epoch of the universe's history is critical to fully understanding how these stars formed and how galaxies grew and evolved 3.5 to 6…
A new molecule for high-resolution cell imaging
These network-like structures maintain the cell's shape, provide mechanical support, and are involved in critical processes of the cell's lifecycle. The…
Ultra-fast, the bionic arm can catch objects on the fly
With its palm open, the robot is completely motionless. A split second later, it suddenly unwinds and catches all sorts of flying objects thrown in its…
