- How Magnetism Works: Electron Bonds Stronger Than Thought
Why are some metals magnetic? This question is a challenge not only for school children, but a well-founded scientific answer is also elusive. A paper by a team of scientists from Forschungszentrum... - Insight into life and death of a neutron
Experiments on the lifetime of a neutron reveal surprising and unexplained deviations. In order to address this problem of subatomic physics, a team of physicists from Jülich, the UK, and the USA c... - Electron microscope identifies oldest magnetic record in our solar system
The meteorite Bishunpur travelled more than 4.5 billion years through space before it crashed to Earth in northern India over 100 years ago. It contained the oldest magnetic record known today. It ... - Researching electrochemistry live
Scientists from Jülich, the USA and the Czech Republic have developed an experimental set-up enabling electrochemical processes at solid-liquid interfaces to be monitored "live" and with unpreceden...
- New electron source for materials analysis
Jülich physicists have succeeded in accelerating the determination of material properties as well as making it more efficient. They have developed a special electron source which greatly simplifies...
- Nocturnal Detergents with Side Effects
Nitrate radicals in the air clean the atmosphere at night. Jülich atmospheric researchers together with colleagues from twenty international research institutions have now found out that this proba... - Electrically accessing complex magnetism in rare earth atoms
A new way to electrically access the magnetic properties of rare earth atoms, which are of crucial importance in many modern technologies, has been revealed by a team of researchers from the London... - Novel Terahertz Source: Potential for Scanners and Quality Control
Terahertz waves can be used for numerous applications, such as body scanners for instance, but until now generating them has been difficult and fraught with limitations. Scientists from Jülich, tog... - Nano-structural features of barite crystals observed
For the first time a barite sample was investigated by applying electron microscopy and atom probe tomography in a complementary approach to characterize its inner microstructure. Pores covering th...
- Observing the motion of a protein in a crystal
X-ray crystallography reveals the three-dimensional structure of a molecule, thus making it possible to understand how it works and potentially use this knowledge to subsequently modulate its activ... - High-speed electron tomography sets new standards for 3D images of the nanoworld
Scientists from the Ernst Ruska-Centre in Forschungszentrum Jülich used a transmission electron microscope to record almost 3500 images in 3.5 seconds for the reconstruction of a 3D electron tomogr... - Correlation between Microscopic Structures and Macroscopic Properties of Colloids
Researchers from Jülich have, together with colleagues from Austria, Italy, Colombia and the USA, developed a model system for so-called soft colloids. The model gives us a better understanding of ... - Ultrahigh-Resolution 3D Microscopy Technique for Electric Fields
Using a single molecule as a sensor, scientists in Jülich have successfully imaged electric potential fields with unrivalled precision. The ultrahigh-resolution images provide information on the di... - Compact terahertz sources with tunable wavelengths
The terahertz range is one of the last sections of the electromagnetic spectrum - which extends from radio waves through optical applications right up to X-ray radiation - that is still rarely used... - Towards a better understanding of chemical reactions at interfaces
A team of German-American researchers has developed a new method enabling chemical processes at interfaces to be analyzed more precisely than has so far been possible. Standing Wave Ambient Pressur...
- Computer simulations sharpen insights into molecule structure
The resolution of scanning tunnelling microscopes can be improved dramatically by attaching small molecules or atoms to their tip. The resulting images were the first to show the geometric structur... - Van der Waals Force Re-Measured
Van der Waals forces act like a sort of quantum glue on all types of matter. Using a new measuring technique, scientists from Forschungszentrum Jülich experimentally determined for the first time a... - New method in scanning tunnelling microscopy allows moving single molecules
Jülich scientists have developed a new control technique for scanning tunnelling microscopes that enables the user to manipulate large single molecules interactively using their hands. Until now, o... - Determination of the 3D shape with atomic resolution from a single image
Imagine that you want to find out from a single picture taken of the front of a house, what the building looks like from behind, whether it has any extensions or if the brickwork is damaged, and ho... - Newly developed method makes the dynamics of larger, insoluble proteins visible
Proteins perform vital tasks in all organisms. In doing so, they often alter their three-dimensional structure so that they can interact with different binding partners. A German-French research te... - Source of climate-active organic aerosol particles is dicovered
Aerosols in the atmosphere influence cloud formation, the Earth's radiation balance, and thus the climate. Until now, it had been unclear exactly how these aerosol particles are formed from the vol... - 3D cryo-electron microscopy: new method for observing cell structure
3D cryo-electron microscopy provides scientists with unique insights into the structure of biological samples. As the cells themselves produce relatively little contrast in images, phase-contrast m... - Tests Prove Electrolytic Cells Are Stable at 850 Degrees
Siemens researchers have demonstrated the long-term stability of ceramic electrolytic cells that are used to produce hydrogen. The results represent a step in the development of new energy storage ... - Potential Future Data Storage at Domain Boundaries
Storing more and more in an ever-smaller space - what sounds impossible is in fact just part of the daily routine in information technology, where for decades, increasing amounts of data have been ...
- World's Most Powerful Laboratory Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering Facility Operational
X-ray diffraction sheds light on the structure of crystals, nanolayers, and molecules. Using this method, scientists were able to decipher the structure of DNA, for instance. An instrument for this...
