May 23, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Nearly half of Sun-size stars are binary. According to University of Copenhagen research, planetary systems around binary stars may be very different from those around single stars. This points to new targets in the search for extraterrestrial life forms. Since the only known planet with...
Microparticles with feeling
May 23, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The surface of a coral is rugged. Its hard skeleton is populated by polyps that stretch their tentacles into the surrounding water to filter out food. But how exactly does the water flow over the coral surface, what eddies and flows develop, and what does...
One step closer to making terahertz technology usable in the real world
May 23, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A team of scientists at the Cavendish Laboratory together with colleagues at the Universities of Augsburg (Germany) and Lancaster has found a new physical effect when two-dimensional electron systems are exposed to terahertz waves. First of all, what are terahertz waves? “We communicate using mobile...
Novel DNA robots designed for swarming into nonlinear amplification
May 23, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A research team led by Prof. YANG Liangbao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently proposed two conceptual models of smart DNA robots that can swarm into leakless nonlinear amplification when triggered. Results were published in...
