By studying spider limb regeneration, scientists have been able to investigate the rules that spiders use to construct their webs and embed them into virtual spiders to be used to inform aspects of modern robotics.
A study of worms in space conducted by the University of Exeter and the NASA GeneLab reveals that a low gravity environment affects cells at a genetic level.
Professor Aude Simar’s team at the Université catholique de Louvain are using friction stir processing to enhance the durability of high strength aluminium alloys.
Materials impact the environment, society, and economy. It is thus no coincidence that ‘advanced materials’ and...
Lund University’s Stanley Heinze describes how his study of neuroanatomy in insects is leading to the development of nanophotonic computers.
When I began to study biology about two decades ago, I thought that neuroanatomy was not only boring but a...
The quantum device physics laboratory leads the creation of new two-dimensional crystals inspired by graphene, targeting applications in sensing, catalysis, and nanoelectronics.
The precise control of material structure at the atomic level is at the core of modern technology. The...
The NanoEngineering Network explains how Smart Metasurface Technology (a class of metamaterials) and the related concept of ‘omniconnectivity’ has the potential to boost Europe’s competitiveness in the field of electronics
The Academy of Finland and the United States government agency National Institutes of Health (NIH) have signed a provisional agreement on promoting Finnish-American research collaboration.q
Professor Regina Demina, from the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Rochester, argues that the role of physics is finding the truth and making sense of the world, and should not be seen as only geared towards the discovery of wholly new phenomena
