Researchers at the University of Regensburg have discovered a technique for controlling the quantum state of individual electrons by employing a high-resolution atomic microscope.

In the aftermath of large-scale disasters like earthquakes or wars, and as aging buildings and infrastructure are replaced, vast amounts of concrete often end up in landfills or are crushed into rubble for use in road construction.

A multinational research team at the University of Vienna under the direction of quantum physicist Markus Arndt has made significant progress in the identification of protein ions: At low energies, superconducting nanowire detectors outperform conventional ion detectors in terms of detection efficiency by a ratio of up to 1,000 due to their high energy sensitivity, which allows for about 100% quantum efficiency.

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have employed generative machine learning models to investigate the various ways in which mismatches can occur between atoms in adjacent crystals of piezoelectric materials—materials that, when subjected to mechanical stress, produce a modest electrical voltage. This discovery reveals how disorder develops in these types of materials.

Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have investigated the fundamental physics of non-Newtonian fluids using piezoelectric nanoparticles, which vary in reaction to pressure.

Water, being a fundamental natural asset, holds utmost importance in fostering the development of any locality. The availability and equitable distribution of water within a city play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable growth.

Researchers from the UK and China have reported a novel technique for accelerating the development of binary metal oxide nanoarchitecture and layered double hydroxides on nickel foams for electrocatalytic applications.

An international research team studying magnetars has discovered an underlying law that seems to apply to neutron stars in general.

Spite being extensively studied, the functions of 30% of the proteins comprising E. coli remain elusive.

The feasibility of deploying drones equipped with automated external defibrillators (AED) to attend to individuals suspected of having cardiac arrest was assessed by researchers at Karolinska Institutet.
