Physicists create giant trilobite molecules

Results are important to understand the chemical binding mechanisms of them, which is distinct from all other chemical bonds

04-Jan-2024 - Kaiserslautern physicists in the team of Professor Dr. Herwig Ott have succeeded for the first time in directly observing pure trilobite Rydberg molecules. Particularly interesting is that these molecules have a very peculiar shape, which is reminiscent of trilobite fossils. At the same time, ...

Deep Learning despite sparse data

DFG research group focuses on evaluation of chemical process data

29-Jul-2022 - The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the new research group "Deep Learning on sparse chemical process data" for four years with around 3.5 million euros. It is coordinated at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern (TUK). The group is working on making Deep Learning methods, a ...

Seeing memories being made

03-Sep-2019 - Researchers at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern have developed a novel tool for tracking and manipulating long-term memories as they are stored in the brains of fruit flies. The tool, reported recently in the journal PLOS Biology, will help investigate how memory works at the molecular ...

Materials Testing: Detecting damages in non-magnetic steel through magnetism

24-Jul-2018 - Wear, corrosion, material fatigue - these signs of degradation are common to most materials. This makes it all the more important to detect damage early, preferably on the micro scale. Magnetic test methods are often used for this purpose, which was previously impossible with non-magnetic steel. ...

High-tech microscope measures electron oscillations

22-Aug-2011 - Researchers from Bielefeld, Kaiserslautern and Würzburg have developed a novel high-tech microscope: It magnifies objects a million times and shows movements with a retardation of one million billion times. The new technology allows tracking extremely fast processes in miniature objects – with an ...
