Christmas tree nanostructure discovered for ascorbic acid oxidation

A unique nanostructure has been discovered and proved to be highly effective in the ascorbic acid oxidation process.   Fabrication process  Nanostructured metal is known to have both physical and chemical properties, which has inspired scientific interest for this to be used...

General anaesthesia does not impact brain function

A study found that patient factors such as a history of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, smoking, and educational level, have more of a long-term impact on cognitive decline compared to general anaesthesia exposure. A study into general anaesthesia Post-operative...

A quantum approach to a singularity problem

Utilising a quantum approach when referring to where the laws of physics collapse could explain what happens at the centre of black holes and what existed before the Big Bang. One of the major issues in general relativity that separates it from...

Researchers discover a new type of earthquake

A Canadian and German led research team have discovered and documented a new type of earthquake in an injection environment in British Columbia, Canada. Unlike conventional earthquakes of the same magnitude, this newly discovered earthquake is slower and lasts longer....

Novel research determines short duration of Higgs boson’s lifetime

New research reports a value for the Higgs boson’s lifetime and has a small enough uncertainty to confirm that the particle has a short lifetime.  Collaborative research has come to the conclusion that the Higgs boson’s lifetime is obscenely short. Once the Higgs boson has been generated...

New heavy fermion material mimics quantum entangled rare earth compounds

By combining two-dimensional materials, researchers create a macroscopic quantum entangled state, labelled heavy fermion materials, that emulates rare earth compounds. Physicists have designed a new ultra-thin two-layer material with quantum properties that would usually require rare earth compounds. This material,...

New carbon material, labelled Paracrystalline diamond, has been created

Bayreuth University researchers successfully created a carbon material with a unique structure, developed under an ultrahigh-pressure technique. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have collaborated with partners in China and the US, to successfully produce a carbon material that does...

Winners of the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics announced

Krzysztof Gawędzki and Antti Kupiainen share the 2022 Dannie Heineman Prize for mathematical physics. The American Institute of Physics (AIP) and the American Physical Society (APS) announced on November 24, 2021 in Washington that Krzysztof Gawędzki and Antti Kupiainen are...

Scientists have achieved a seemingly unattainable energy transition

A group of scientists from Basel and Bochum have successfully conducted an apparently unattainable energy transition in an artificial atom, using laser light. Making use of the radiative Auger process, a team of scientists have become the first team to...

Driving global graphene innovation

Terrance Barkan, Executive Director of The Graphene Council, explains the great potential for graphene application and the need for investment to facilitate future innovation in the US and worldwide. Based in the US with offices in Europe and South America,...
