Read moreImagine a world where the windows of high-rise office buildings are powerful energy producers, offering its inhabitants much more than some fresh air, light and a view. For the past four years a team of researchers from Flinders University has been working to make this dream a reality - and now the notion of solar-powered windows could be coming to a not too distant future near you.

Read moreEin Forscherteam der TU Muenchen und der Goethe Universitaet Frankfurt hat ein System aus festkoerperbasierten Nanoporen entwickelt, mit dem sich einzelne Molekuele identifizieren lassen. Gegenueber frueheren Arbeiten auf diesem Gebiet haben die Wissenschaftler erreicht, dass der Sensor zwei Eigenschaften vereint: er reagiert auf einzelne Molekuele und erkennt gleichzeitig ihre Identitaet.

Read moreResearchers from Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg have shown that nanocellulose stimulates the formation of neural networks. This is the first step toward creating a three-dimensional model of the brain. Such a model could elevate brain research to totally new levels, with regard to Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, for example.

Read moreScientists have developed a procedure to provide access to cellular regions which were previously nearly inaccessible. Using focused ion beam (FIB) technology, specific cellular material can be cut out, opening up thin "windows" into the cell's interior. This alternative approach enables the preparation of larger cellular samples devoid of artefacts.
