Krankheitserreger im Trinkwasser sind in den Entwicklungslaendern, aber auch in Deutschland, z. B. im Rahmen von Sanierungsvorhaben, oft ein grosses Problem. Deshalb spielt das Thema beim IPHT-Symposium "DNA-Nano-Sensors" vom 10. - 12.5. eine grosse Rolle.

Read moreLight-emitting diodes at infrared wavelengths are the magic behind such things as night vision and optical communications, including the streaming data that comes through Netflix. Cornell researchers have advanced the process of making such LEDs cheaper and easier to fabricate, which could lead to ultra-thin LEDs painted onto silicon to replace computer wiring with light waves.

Read moreNormally, when an intense laser pulse interacts with an atom it generates agitation on the micro-scale and this interaction produces a single ionisation, where one electron is ejected from the atom. Sometimes, however, two electrons can be removed from the atom at the same time, which results in the more complex process of double ionisation. Now researchers have observed this process at attosecond time scales.
