Apr 07, 2020 (Nanowerk News) One year ago the EHT Collaboration published the first image of a black hole in the nearby radio galaxy M 87. Now the collaboration has extracted new information from the EHT data of the far quasar 3C 279: they observed the finest detail ever in...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: A new way to fine-tune exotic materials: Thin, stretch and clamp: Turning a brittle oxide into a flexible membrane and stretching it on a tiny apparatus flipped it from a conducting to an insulating state and changed its magnetic properties

A twist connecting magnetism and electronic-band topology
Apr 03, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Dirac matter is an intriguing class of materials with rather peculiar properties: electrons in these materials behave as if they had no mass. The most prominent Dirac material is graphene, but further members have been discovered during the past 15 years or so. Each one...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: Light in the tunnel
Home > Press > Light in the tunnelAbstract:Photonic cavities are an essential part of many modern optical devices.The characterization of the plasmonic modes of these cavities is complexdue to their tiny size, which makes access difficult by externalsignals.Researchers from the Autonomous University of Madrid, IMDEA Nanocienciaand IFIMAC have developed a...
Bacteria in rock deep under sea inspire new search for life on Mars
Apr 03, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Newly discovered single-celled creatures living deep beneath the seafloor have given researchers clues about how they might find life on Mars. These bacteria were discovered living in tiny cracks inside volcanic rocks after researchers persisted over a decade of trial and error to find a...
