» Search accurate expression '""Universit'- Water Dating with an Atom Trap
A Heidelberg physics project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) will focus on a new type of dating method for use in the earth and environmental sciences. The research team will deploy ... - An improved carbon nanotube semiconductor
Professor Yang-Kyu Choi and his research team of the School of Electrical Engineering at KAIST collaborated with Professor Sung-Jin Choi of Kookmin University to develop a large-scale carbon nanotu... - Neutron spectroscopy enables an international tem to unravel quantum entanglement in a dimer of complex molecular qubits
Molecular nanomagnets are inorganic compounds that consist of a metallic core surrounded by an organic ligand sheath, which acts to isolate each core leading to zero dimensional magnetic units - so... - Banned chemicals from the 70s found in deepest reaches of the ocean
A study, led by Newcastle University's Dr Alan Jamieson has uncovered the first evidence that man-made pollutants have now reached the farthest corners of our earth. Sampling amphipods (pictured... - Measuring entropy
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM), used to study changes in the shape of a single molecule at the atomic scale, impacts the ability of that molecule to make these changes; the entropy of the mo... - Fast food packaging contains potentially harmful chemicals
In the most comprehensive analysis to date on the prevalence of highly fluorinated chemicals in fast food packaging in the United States, researchers tested more than 400 samples from 27 fast food ... - Synthetic peptides and spectra for proteomics
Researchers led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) report on the synthesis of a library of more than 330,000 reference peptides representing essentially all canonical proteins of the human... - Deep look into protein structure
Light microscopy continues to reveal the microscopic world at an ever increasing resolution. Using a new method coined COLD, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlan... - Bioinspired intelligent material transports micro-objects
Adhesive mechanisms in the natural world, as used by geckos and other animals when they walk upside down on the ceiling, have many advantages: they are always strongly adhesive - and without any gl... - Graphene blocks antibiotic resistant bacteria
Technology often imitates nature. And to reduce the risk of infection during surgery, doctors may soon turn to surgical implements coated with graphene oxide, inspired by the typical rough texture ... - Imaging proteins at the single molecule level
Proteins are the tools of life. In future, scientists may be able to examine single molecules with an especially gentle method to determine how they are constructed, how they perform their function... - Rare microbes have a key role in ecosystem functioning
Even if a species is represented by very few individuals within an ecosystem, it can make a huge difference. This has long been recognized for animals and plants. Rare microbes like bacteria and mi... - Treated carbon pulls radioactive elements from water
Researchers at Rice University and Kazan Federal University in Russia have found a way to extract radioactivity from water and said their discovery could help purify the hundreds of millions of gal... - Smartphone microscope offers cost-effective DNA sequencing and genetic mutation analysis
Just like an alphabet is made up of individual letters, DNA is composed of chemical bases. And in the same way that letters must be placed in a specific order to form words and sentences, the seque... - New type of adhesive has been shown as a potential non-toxic alternative
"Adhesives releasing toxins including carcinogenic formaldehyde are almost everywhere in our homes and offices. The plywood in our walls, the chairs we sit on, and the carpet beneath our feet are a... - Why snow collapses suddenly under pressure
Materials scientists at FAU have demonstrated for the first time in an experiment that collapsing connections between ice crystals are responsible for snow giving way suddenly - and repeatedly - un... - Braiding a molecular knot with eight crossings
Scientists at The University of Manchester have produced the most tightly knotted physical structure ever known - a scientific achievement which has the potential to create a new generation of adva... - Creating the tiniest structures on surfaces
Nanotechnology is regarded as the key technology of the 21st century, delivering the fundamental methods, which allow objects just a few hundred nanometers in size to be produced in any required sh... - Environmentally-friendly alternative to genetically-modified crops and chemical pesticide
The breakthrough research could have huge benefits for agriculture and positively impact communities around the world. Plant pests and pathogens are estimated to reduce global crop yields by 30 to ... - Explaining memory on the molecular level?
The molecular pharmacologist and biochemist Volker Haucke has been granted funding in the Koselleck programme of the DFG for highly innovative research into the mechanisms of neuronal communication... - Protein crystals - a manifold substance class for biological and pharmaceutical applications
Annette Rompel and her team of the Department of Biophysical Chemistry at the University of Vienna are investigating so-called polyoxometalates. These compounds exhibit a great diversity and offer ... - Chemically Modified Insulin Is Available More Quickly
Replacing a hydrogen atom by an iodine atom in insulin, the hormone retains its efficacy but is available more rapidly to the organism. Researchers at the University of Basel were able to predict t... - Store and Supply - How the Brain Saves Time
Neurons in the brain store RNA molecules - DNA gene copies - in order to rapidly react to stimuli. This storage dramatically accelerates the production of proteins. This is one of the reasons why n...
- Light Opens and Closes Windows in Membranes
Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Universität Hannover developed novel membranes, whose selectivity can be switched dynamically with the help of light. For this purpose, az... - Structure of HIV capsid within virus visualised
For the first time, the intricate structure of HIV capsid proteins has been visualised in the virus itself. Using subnanometre-resolution cryo-electron tomography, PhD student Simone Mattei looked ...
