Nanosensoren für Herz und Hirn

16 Arbeitsgruppen der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU), des Universitätsklinikums Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) und des Fraunhofer Instituts für Siliziumtechnik (ISIT) erforschen zukünftig gemeinsam neuartige Sensoren für die medizinische Diagnostik. Damit sollen über winzigste Magnetfelder Gehirn- und Herzfunktionen aufgezeichnet werden....

Quantum world without queues could lead to better solar cells

In a recent study ("Coherent two-dimensional photocurrent spectroscopy in a PbS quantum dot photocell") from Lund University in Sweden, researchers have used new technology to study extremely fast processes in solar cells. The research results form a concrete step towards more efficient solar cells....

Skyrmions like it hot

A simulation study by researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science has demonstrated the feasibility of using lasers to create and manipulate nanoscale magnetic vortices ("Creation of skyrmions and antiskyrmions by local heating"). The ability to create and control these ‘skyrmions’ could lead to the development of skyrmion-based information...
