Solution to a cosmic mystery

Flyby of a star explains dynamics of the solar system beyond Neptune. When we think of our solar system, we usually assume that it ends at the outermost known planet,…

Scientists prove long-standing wave amplification theory

Physicists at the University of Southampton have tested and proven a 50 year old theory for the first time using electro-magnetic waves. They have shown that the energy of waves…

Reaction-induced molybdenum carbides for efficient carbon dioxide conversion

Molybdenum (Mo) carbides, known for their unique electronic and structural properties, are considered promising alternatives to noble metal catalysts in heterogeneous catalysis. However, traditional methods for preparing Mo carbides suffer…

Chemical chameleon reveals novel pathway for separating rare-earth metals

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a chemical “chameleon” that could improve the process used to purify rare-earth metals used in clean energy, medical…

Neolithic plague bacterium did not cause mass mortality

Study by the Collaborative Research Centre 1266 ‘Scales of Transformation‘ shows possible infection paths of Yersinia pestis 5000 years ago. Since the catastrophic pandemics of the Middle Ages, one disease…

The ideal 3D printing setting for innovative gloves

Protective gloves, such as those used for work, sport or household gardening, retrieve their protective function from a special coating. This coating provides abrasion resistance, makes the material waterproof and…

Study on gene regulation with surprising results

Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place…

Novel electro-biodiesel

…a more efficient, cleaner alternative to existing alternatives. Vehicles fueled by diesel lead to substantial carbon emissions that are challenging to decarbonize. In 2022, diesel fuel use made up about…

New model of neuronal circuit provides insight on eye movement

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes’ gaze. The…

CD Laboratory at TU Graz Researches New Semiconductor Materials

Using energy- and resource-saving methods, a research team at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at TU Graz aims to produce high-quality doped silicon layers for the electronics and solar industries….

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…
