Electron density distribution of fullerene modeled using a 3D printer

Modeling the electron density distribution of a molecule in transparent resin.

Towards new IT devices with stable and transformable solitons

Multi-digit systems, solitonics and brain-like machines.

Smarter MRI diagnosis with nano MRI lamp

A new technology platform that tunes the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals 'ON' only in the presence of the targeted disease.

Neutrons reveal 'quantum tunnelling' on graphene enables the birth of stars

Graphene-based materials, prepared from the exfoliation of graphite oxide, are used as a model of interstellar carbon dust as they contain a relatively large amount of atomic defects, either at their edges or on their surface. These defects are thought to sustain the Eley-Rideal chemical reaction, which recombines two H atoms into one H2 molecule.

Back to the roots: Germanium outperforms silicon in energy efficient transistors with n- und p- conduction

Scientists have demonstrated the world-wide first transistor based on germanium that can be programmed between electron- (n) and hole- (p) conduction.

A ground-breaking method for screening the most useful nanoparticles for medicine

Researchers have devised a rapid screening method to select the most promising nanoparticles, thereby fast-tracking the development of future treatments. In less than a week, they are able to determine whether nanoparticles are compatible or not with the human body - an analysis that previously required several months of work.

Magnetic bubbles pop up

Skyrmionic bubbles, a potential data carrier in low-energy computing systems, can be controlled using temperature or a magnetic field.
