Read moreIn manganese monosilicide, microscopic magnetic vortices - skyrmions - may behave as 'collectivists' or 'individuals', i.e. they are able to create a single structure, or they can also split up individually. Studying the behaviour of skyrmions will help to create unique quantum devices based on new physical principles.

Read moreAll cells protect themselves from the environment using very thin but ultra-strong membranes. In order to let useful molecules (nutrients etc.) go through the membrane, cells use 'gatekeeper molecules' called transporters. Researchers found out that these gatekeepers can now be manipulated to work longer hours by turning on a molecular switch.
