  An international research team involving the universities of Paraná (Brazil) and Tübingen (Germany) has developed a rapid test that can reliably identify Covid-19 antibodies in the blood within min...
• A new tool in the search for axions
  Researchers from the international BASE collaboration at CERN, Switzerland, which is led by the RIKEN Fundamental Symmetries Laboratory, have discovered a new avenue to search for axions-a hypothet...
• Powerful X-rays watch solid state batteries charging and discharging
  Using high-speed X-ray tomography, researchers captured images of solid-state batteries in operation and gained new insights that may improve their efficiency. Despite worldwide use of lithium batt...
• Smartphone-Based COVID-19 Test
  Researchers at the University of Arizona are developing a COVID-19 testing method that uses a smartphone microscope to analyze saliva samples and deliver results in about 10 minutes. The UArizon...
• Synthesizing valuable chemicals from contaminated soil
  Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and ETH Zurich have developed a process to produce commodity chemicals in a much less hazardous way than was previously possible. Such commod...
• Producing dichloro and dibromo compounds in a safer and more environmentally friendly manner
  Researchers at ETH Zurich and the University of Mainz developed a new method to replace molecular chlorine and bromine in chemical synthesis with less toxic molecules. The technology helps to make ...
• Size of helium nucleus measured more precisely than ever before
  In experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, an international research collaboration has measured the radius of the atomic nucleus of helium five times more precisely than ever before. With t...
• Single atoms as a catalyst: Surprising effects ensue
  For years, the metal nanoparticles used in catalysts have been getting smaller and smaller. Now, a research team at TU Wien in Vienna, Austria have shown that everything is suddenly different when ...
• Nanomaterials from a 3D X-ray perspective
  A new X-ray technique can be used to produce high resolution images of nanocrystals in real time as they are growing, something that has not been done before. To this end, a team from DESY and the ...
• Imaging the motion of electrons with unprecedented resolution
  A team of researchers from the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences at the University of Tsukuba filmed the ultrafast motion of electrons with sub-nanoscale spatial resolution. This work provides a...
• How short circuits in lithium metal batteries can be prevented
  There are high hopes for the next generation of high energy-density lithium metal batteries, but before they can be used in our vehicles, there are crucial problems to solve. An international resea...
• Red yeast from deep-sea sediment shows anticancer and antibacterial properties
  Numerous natural products are awaiting discovery in all kinds of natural habitats. Especially microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi are able to produce diverse natural products with high biomedi...
• Limits of atomic nuclei predicted
  Novel calculations have enabled the study of nearly 700 isotopes between helium and iron, showing which nuclei can exist and which cannot. In an article published in Physical Review Letters, scient...
• The European Union is funding the development of analytical electron microscopy
  Electron microscopy is a key technology to reveal and finally also control the atomic structure and chemical composition of materials with (sub-)Ångström resolution. It is an essential technique to...
