Bake, melt or ignite

How synthesis methods have a profound impact on disordered materials. A new study reveals how different synthesis methods can profoundly impact the structure and function of high entropy oxides, a…

Discovery could lead to longer-lasting EV batteries

– hasten energy transition. Batteries lose capacity over time, which is why older cellphones run out of power more quickly.  This common phenomenon, however, is not completely understood. Now, an…

Rock boccia on the slope

SLF researchers are investigating how artificial stones move on rough ground in order to improve hazard indication maps. “Oh, oh, it’s broken,” says Joël Borner and looks after his boulder,…

A Dictionary of Abstract Math

How “Big Algebra” could connect quantum physics and number theory. Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own ‘undecipherable’ coded languages. In a new study published…

Unbiased look at plants

… uncovers how surprisingly transcription is regulated in plants. In multicellular organisms, transcriptional regulation allows for specialization, such that cells carrying the same genetic code can carry out different functions…

Superior light-to-chemical energy conversion with Coulombic dyads

Scientists in Mainz established a novel photocatalyst class that uses precious metals more efficiently. Inspired by nature’s photosynthesis, photocatalysts use light to trigger a chemical reaction that would otherwise only…

NASA to launch innovative solar coronagraph to Space Station

NASA’s Coronal Diagnostic Experiment (CODEX) is ready to launch to the International Space Station to reveal new details about the solar wind including its origin and its evolution. Launching in…

Faster space communication with record-sensitive receiver

In space exploration, long-distance optical links can now be used to transmit images, films and data from space probes to Earth using light. But in order for the signals to…

USTC discovers polarity competition mechanisms

… in thunderstorm cloud-top corona discharges. A team of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), led by Professors LEI Jiuhou, ZHU Baoyou, and Associate Professor…

New anti-cancer agent works without oxygen

Why tumors shrink but don’t disappear. “As tumors grow very quickly, consume a lot of oxygen and their vascular growth can’t necessarily keep pace, they often contain areas that are…

First blueprint of the human spliceosome revealed

Researchers detail the inner workings of the most complex and intricate molecular machine in human biology. Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona have created the first…

A navigation system for microswimmers

By applying an electric field, the movement of microswimmers can be manipulated. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS), the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad…

A paper-aluminum combo for strong, sustainable packaging

Takeout containers get your favorite noodles from the restaurant to your dining table (or couch) without incident, but they are nearly impossible to recycle if they are made from foil-lined…

Improving energy production by boosting singlet fission process

Singlet fission can be promoted by chiral molecular self-assemblies that absorb light. In organic molecules an exciton is a particle bound pair of an electron (negative charge) and its hole…

Rain Protection for Rotor Blades

Small drops, big impact: Over time, rain can damage the surfaces of rotor blades. This reduces the efficiency and profitability of wind turbines, especially at sea. Researchers from institutions of…
