Scientists invented a new way of tracking electronic properties inside materials, and used it to visualize magnetic domains in a previously unseen way. Everyone knows that holding two magnets together…
The search for nectar costs insects a lot of energy, so they have to be as efficient as possible. Colourful patterns on the petals can help with that. Be it…
The quantum nature of objects visible to the naked eye is currently a much-discussed research question. A team led by Innsbruck physicist Gerhard Kirchmair has now demonstrated a new method…
Probing galaxies at much greater distances from Earth may now be within reach. How do stars form in distant galaxies? Astronomers have long been trying to answer this question by…
The climate-friendly NECOC process produces carbon out of the CO2 from ambient air. Germany is progressing on its way to climate neutrality – and has to close carbon cycles in…
