Bio-machine hybrid robots (BHRs) represent a new generation of micro-aerial vehicles that be controlled by building an interface between biological and artificial systems. In contrast to conventional bionic robots, they…
Quantum sensors make microscale NMR spectroscopy possible. The development of tumors begins with miniscule changes within the body’s cells; ion diffusion at the smallest scales is decisive in the performance…
World premiere: New system that is gentler on patients receives the pulse beat. On the road to gentler mechanical cardiac support, the cardiac surgery clinics of Hannover Medical School (MHH)…
Jena researchers develop new method for manufacturing tailor-made semiconductor thin films. Organic semiconductor materials are promising key technologies for the development of state-of-the-art optoelectronic components and are used in photovoltaics…
Whenever light interacts with matter, light appears to slow down. This is not a new observation and standard wave mechanics can describe most of these daily phenomena. For example, when…
Researchers have discovered a way to make ceramics tougher and more resistant to cracking. By building these materials using a blend of metal atoms possessing more electrons in their outer…
