Materials scientists may soon be able to influence the characteristics of materials using light.

Spotted hyenas adapt to a reduced presence of migratory prey in their areas triggered by climate change. This is the core finding of a study recently reported in the scientific journal Ecosphere.

At the TU Dresden, scientists have initiated a new path towards excellent organic thermoelectric devices. It is a highly efficient modulation doping of highly ordered organic semiconductors under high doping concentrations.

Droplet manipulation has vital applications in domains such as water harvesting, heat management, and chemical reactions.

Although various photocatalyst powders can effectively remove contaminants and microorganisms from water, their practical application is restricted due to poor recovery performance.

Raspberries are a popular summer fruit with striking scarlet color and unique structure. They consist of several fleshy drupelets with a combination of sweet and mildly acidic pulp.

Two-dimensional materials are interesting since they are atomic layer thin films that may be electrically pushed into vibration and function as nano-electromechanical resonators (NEMS) with characteristic resonance frequencies exceeding 100 MHz and typically ultrahigh quality characteristics at low temperatures.

Regular image sensors, the same as the billion or so already fixed into almost all smartphones currently in use, capture color and light intensity.

The arrangement of the elements on the periodic table is done in a way to highlight specific relationships. There are families, groups (the vertical columns), and periods (the horizontal rows).

While scanning cathedral stained-glass windows, scientists from the Nara Institute of Science and Technology developed a novel method to compensate for fluctuations in illumination. This technique might be extended to other culturally significant objects to help frame their colors in the most authentic way possible.
