How positively and negatively charged ions behave at interfaces

Scientists examine the behaviour and trends of how positively and negatively charged ions interact within a solid and aqueous solution. A collaboration of scientists from the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV at the Ruhr-University in Brochum, CALSOLV in Berkeley, and the...

Development of a novel resonator to aid nanoparticle detection

A researcher from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has developed a technique utilising optical resonators to advance the field of nanoparticle detection. Nanoparticles are ubiquitous in the environment around us: viruses in ambient air, proteins in the body, as building...

Physicists discover novel quantum effect in bilayer graphene

Extraordinary phenomenon labelled the quantum anomalous Hall effect has been discovered in bilayer graphene. Researchers at The University of Texas in Dallas, along with collaborators in Germany, have for the first time observed an extraordinary phenomenon known as the quantum...

Linking atomic nuclei size and blackhole thermodynamic principles

Researchers have discovered a fundamental connection between the size of atomic nuclei and blackhole thermodynamic principles. By utilising a novel method centred on an innovative geometrical interpretation of entropy, a collaborative group of scientists has identified a new technique to...

New understandings into the structure of the neutron

An international research team with participation from Mainz and Darmstadt measures neutron form factors to examine the structure of the neutron with previously unattained precision. Atomic nuclei, and consequently almost all visible matter, consists of protons and neutrons. However, many...

Astro-PAHs from space missions to laboratory astrophysics

Dr Christine Joblin, from CNRS/Université Paul Sabatier- Toulouse 3, discusses the topic of astro-PAHs, illustrating the potential of laboratory astrophysics to analyse the observations of infrared space missions. When talking about terrestrial polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), we have in mind...

ATLAS: pushing the boundaries of particle physics analysis

Dr Jinlong Zhang, ATLAS Group Leader at the Argonne National Laboratory, discusses Argonne’s involvement in physics analysis in the ATLAS experiment at CERN. At the ATLAS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), more than 3,000 scientists have undertaken the...

Discussing the concept and design of Electron-Ion Collider detectors

Scientists outline the key components of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and what it will mean for physics research.

Expanding our knowledge by studying electromagnetic radiation

Tetyana Galatyuk asks what can we learn from electromagnetic radiation about the state of visible matter under extreme conditions?

Low and high voltage power for research labs
