- Converting sewage sludge into phosphorus for industrial use
Disposing of wastewater treatment plant waste while simultaneously recovering white phosphorus: The new thermochemical FlashPhos process demonstrates how this works. It is currently the only te...
- Saturn's moon emits organic compounds
Saturn's moon Enceladus continuously ejects vast quantities of ice particles into space, originating from its subsurface ocean. Researchers at the University of Stuttgart and Freie Universität Berl... - An "optical sieve" for detecting nanoplastic particles
A joint team from the University of Stuttgart in Germany and the University of Melbourne in Australia has developed a new method for the straightforward analysis of tiny nanoplastic particles in en... - Mystery solved: Symmetry of exotic crystals
Crystals are highly symmetrical, but quasicrystals lack important symmetry properties. These solids pose puzzles for physics. A research team from the Technion in Haifa, the University of Duisburg-...
- DNA as building material for tiny machines and artificial cells
"My work has many points of commonality with the topics that my colleagues in Stuttgart are focusing on," says Yan. "I have therefore been cooperating with Professor Laura Na Liu's working group fo... - Locating sources of energy loss with the photovoltaic microscope
In the laboratory, solar cells made of perovskite are already converting sunlight into electricity as efficiently as established silicon solar cells. Stefan Weber from the Institute for Photovoltai... - Discovery of biomarkers in space
In 2018, very large organic molecules were discovered in ice particles on Saturn's moon Enceladus. It is still unclear whether they indicate the existence of life or were created in some other way....
- Biosurfactants might offer an environmentally friendly solution for tackling oil spills
Oil leaks into the oceans are estimated at approximately 1500 million liters annually worldwide. This leads to globally significant environmental pollution, as oil contains hazardous compounds such...
- Green hydrogen from plant residue
Until now, the most common way to dispose of green waste and sewage sludge has been to compost or incinerate it. However, using these materials to produce the valuable energy source hydrogen would ... - A novel binding mechanism between small and giagantic particles
Researchers at the 5th Physical Institute of the University of Stuttgart have verified a novel binding mechanism forming a molecule between a tiny charged particle and in atomic measures gigantic R...
- Molecular water discovered on the moon
For the first time, the SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) flying observatory has provided direct and unambiguous evidence of water molecules on the moon beyond the permanent ...
- A new miniature NMR implant measures neuronal activity
A team of neuroscientists and electrical engineers from Germany and Switzerland developed a highly sensitive implant that enables to probe brain physiology with unparalleled spatial and temporal re... - 3D printing of biological tissue
The future of medicine is biological - and scientists hope we will soon be using 3D-printed biologically functional tissue to replace irreparably damaged tissue in the body. A team of researcher...
- Particles rich in silicates and water ice detected in saturn's ring rain
The Cassini Huygens Mission is one of the most exciting missions to explore the Solar System. For the first time it offered the possibility to analyze saturn's ring rain. Scientific planning and mi...
- New state of matter: Quantum gas, liquid and crystal all-in-one
The world of quantum mechanics happens only in small scales around a few nanometers. In this nanoworld, particles can behave like waves, and vice versa and have only some probability to be in a par...
- Researchers discover ferroelectric liquid crystal
Although certain liquid crystals mainly comprise water, a spontaneous alignment of electrical dipoles could incur in them and consequently a spontaneous electrical polarisation could occur macrosco... - How new substances form - researchers simulate processes in bubble column
Inside of a bubble column, gas bubbles rise in a liquid. While this happens, chemical processes take place at their outer layers where different substances are in contact. About 90 percent of all p... - Scientists make cracks shine
Every six years, a bridge in Germany undergoes a major inspection. "If a crack is overlooked in this test, it has another six years to grow", says Milad Mehdianpour of the BAM Federal Institute for...
- Charge separation in a molecule consisting of two identical atoms
Physicists from the University of Stuttgart show the first experimental proof of a molecule consisting of two identical atoms that exhibits a permanent electric dipole moment. This observation cont...
- Award for Concept of Comparability and Traceability of Water Analyses
Clean water is a matter of survival for humans, particularly when it is used for drinking, cooking and for food manufacture. Therefore, the EU member countries have in several guidelines undertaken...
- Ship in a bottle assembly of microfluidic devices
Sometimes physicists resort to tried and trusted model-making tricks. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research, the University of Stuttgart and the Colorado School of Mines have c...
