• Empa researchers clarify reaction pathway to fabricate graphene-like materials

  Graphene is a promising material for tomorrow’s nanoelectronics devices. Precise and upscaleable methods to fabricate graphene and derived materials with desired electronic properties are however still searched after. To overcome the current limitations, Empa researchers have fabricated graphene-lik more

• NYU Langone scientists are first to sequence the genomes of 2 ant species

  Scientists have finally sequenced the entire genome of an ant, actually two very different species of ant, and the insights gleaned from their genetic blueprints are already yielding tantalizing clues to the extraordinary social behavior of ants. A result of a collaborative research project led by D more

• Good Vibrations: New atom-scale products on horizon

  The generation of an electric field by the compression and expansion of solid materials is known as the piezoelectric effect, and it has a wide range of applications ranging from everyday items such as watches, motion sensors and precise positioning systems. Researchers at McGill University’s Depart more

• Nature's Ingenuity Shows the Way
  

  Up to 80 percent of our experience of our visual environment takes place via our visual perception. Without spatial vision, we would hardly be able to stay oriented. In recent decades, the neurosciences have gained many insights into the complex processes by which our brain's visual cortex and cerebral cortex do the fascinating job of processing the signals originating from the eyes into an image. A study carried out jointly by Leica Microsystems and the Institute of Neuroinformatics at the University of Zurich and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology showed how flexible and powerfull our brain joins visual signals to create an optimal spatial image. The results provided the basis for an innovation in stereomicroscopy which, in terms of resolution and focus depth, has broken through limits that were previously impossible to overcome. more
