Addition to the Microdisplay Family

New High-Brightness Versions Launched. In addition to an energy-saving design, microdisplays for wearables must also display information in a way that they are sufficiently bright under daylight conditions, at best…

How a soil microbe could rev up artificial photosynthesis

When it comes to fixing carbon, plants have nothing on soil bacteria that can do it 20 times faster. The secret is an enzyme that “juggles” reaction ingredients. Plants rely…

Controlling mirror images

Chirality, while not a rarity in the world of molecules, is nevertheless a special property. If a molecule is chiral (from the Greek word chiros = hand), it exists in…

New technique shows in detail where drug molecules hit their targets in the body

Devised by Scripps Research scientists, the new method could speed the development of many new drugs. Scientists at Scripps Research have invented a way to image, across different tissues and…

New cardiac defibrillator much safer for patients

Fewer complications with device implanted under the skin. High-risk patients who need defibrillators to prevent cardiac arrest can experience fewer complications with a type of device implanted under the skin,…

AutoInspect takes the quality of industrial inspection processes to a new level

The quality of industrial production processes is ensured by a large number of sensor-based individual inspections. This generates large amounts of data. However, until now, the information from the individual…

A ‘language’ for ML models to predict nanopore properties

A large number of 2D materials like graphene can have nanopores – small holes formed by missing atoms through which foreign substances can pass. The properties of these nanopores dictate many…

Material developed with novel stretching properties

KIT researchers produce metamaterial with different extension and compression properties than conventional materials. With this material, the working group headed by Professor Martin Wegener at KIT’s Institute of Applied Physics…

Sensitive ceramics for soft robotics

Most people think of coffee cups, bathroom tiles or flower pots when they hear the word “ceramic”. Not so Frank Clemens. For the research group leader in Empa’s Laboratory for…
