[ad_1] New clues lead to a better understanding of the evolution of the solar system and the origin of the Earth as a habitable planet. In a new article published in the journal Nature Communications Earth and Environment, researchers at the University of Rochester were able to use magnetism to …

[ad_1] Atomic scale image of two interacting silicon donors. Image: CQC2T Australian researchers have determined the “sweet spot” for the positioning of qubits to achieve high-precision quantum computers. The research, published today in Nature Communications, showed that precision positioning has proven essential for the development of robust interactions – or …

[ad_1] Electron microscope image of a densely packed droplet of hydrogen-producing algal cells. Scale bar, 10 micrometers. Prof Xin Huang, Harbin Institute of Technology Scientists have built tiny droplet-based microbial factories that produce hydrogen, instead of oxygen, when exposed to daylight in the air. The results of the international research …

[ad_1] Artist’s illustration of water molecules. A research team led by Berkeley Lab has designed a new crystalline material that targets and traps copper ions from wastewater with unprecedented precision and speed.

[ad_1] Knowing exactly where proteins are frustrated could go a long way in making better drugs. This is one of the findings of a new study by Rice University scientists looking for mechanisms that stabilize or destabilize key sections of biomolecules. Atomic-scale models by rice theorist Peter Wolynes, lead author …

[ad_1] Fluorescent confocal microscope images of 8 day old Arabidopsis thaliana roots. Purple color shows cell walls and green color shows CRWN1-3 in immature leaf (top, cotyledon epidermis), mature root area (middle, differential), and actively growing root ends (bottom, meristematic zone) . © Yuki Sakamoto, CC BY Researchers from the …

[ad_1] Magnetic materials are ubiquitous in modern society, present in almost all the technological devices we use every day. In particular, personal electronic devices such as smartphones / watches, tablets and desktop computers all rely on magnetic material to store information. Information in modern devices is stored in long chains …

[ad_1] Shantanu Chakrabartty’s laboratory has worked to create sensors that can operate with the least amount of energy. His lab has been so successful in building smaller, more efficient sensors, that they have encountered an obstacle in the form of a fundamental law of physics. Sometimes, however, when you encounter …

[ad_1] Scientists reported a new optical imaging technology, which uses a glass side coated with gold nanodiscs that allows them to monitor changes in light transmission and determine the characteristics of nanoparticles as small as 25 nanometers in diameter. Current cutting-edge techniques have clear limitations when it comes to visualizing …

[ad_1] A group of researchers led by Sir Andre Geim and Dr Alexey Berdyugin at the University of Manchester has discovered and characterized a new family of quasiparticles called “Brown-Zak fermions” in graphene-based super lattices. The team achieved this breakthrough by aligning the atomic lattice of a graphene layer with …
