Researchers at the Paul-Drude-Institute for Solid State Electronics (PDI) have discovered a novel modulation regime in semiconductor-based lasers, characterized by “acceleration beats.” This regime allows coherent manipulation of quantum systems…
Norway’s long, rugged coastline – more than 28,953 kilometers long, including the fjords – suffers from plastic pollution even though it is so remote. It’s a problem plaguing all nations…
Ship expedition for the first time investigates “new” pollutants in the Indian Ocean. On July 16, 2024, the German research vessel SONNE starts a three-week expedition to previously little-studied regions…
Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds…
Urban agriculture has the potential to improve food security through local, efficient, and sustainable food production. Examples of urban food systems include hydroponics, where plants grow in a nutrient solution…
A new NMR spectrometer has been in operation at the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) since the end of May. What makes it special is that it is based on…
