Home > Press > Novel sensors enable precise measurement of dopamine Sebastian Kruss (right) and Björn Hill are part of the team that was able to directly measure the neurotransmitter dopamine. © RUB, Kramer Abstract:Dopamine is an important signalling molecule for nerve cells. Its concentration could not be precisely determined...

Home > Press > Finding coherence in quantum chaos: Theoretical breakthrough creates path to manipulating quantum chaos for laboratory experiments, quantum computing and black-hole research By balancing energy gain and loss symmetrically in an open quantum system, Los Alamos National Laboratory physicists have challenged a long-held theory about quantum chaos...

May 28, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A recently developed catalyst for breaking down plastics continues to advance plastic upcycling processes. In 2020, a team of researchers led by Ames Laboratory scientists developed the first processive inorganic catalyst to deconstruct polyolefin plastics into molecules that can be used to create more valuable...

Home > Press > How randomly moving electrons can improve cyber security The image of the fabricated electronic chip that generates the random number. The chip is loaded into the measurement setup, where the randomness of the electron trapping/de-trapping is converted into binary outputs. CREDIT Nithin Abraham Abstract:In October 2017,...

May 28, 2022 (Nanowerk News) As an important regional antidote for protecting the urinary system of chemotherapy patients, mesna needs to be monitored in real-time to ensure the curative effect. Fluorescence method is a powerful tool in real-time detection with the advantage of fast response and visualization. However, background interference...
