Even if you are not a quantum physicist, you will most likely have heard of Schr枚dinger's famous cat. Erwin Schr枚dinger came up with the feline that can be alive and dead at the same time in a thought experiment in 1935. ...
Bifunctional acid鈭抌ase catalysts are highly desirable for industrially relevant chemical processes. Owing to their ability to activate electrophiles and nucleophiles simultaneously, they allow the catalysis to proceed synergistically ...
National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have discovered a novel form of ferroelectricity in a single-element bismuth monolayer that can produce regular and reversible dipole moments for future applications of non-volatile ...
A pair of chemists at Michigan State University has observed the piezoelectric effect in liquids for the first time. In their paper published in The Journal of 麻豆淫院ical Chemistry Letters, Md. Iqbal Hossain and G. J. Blanchard, ...
A 'best practice' protocol for researchers developing piezoelectric materials has been developed by scientists鈥攁 first in this cutting-edge field of technology.
According to the data of the World Health Organization, about 430 million people worldwide suffer from hearing loss due to cochlear damage, and the improvement of hearing mainly depends on cochlear implants. However, traditional ...
Using ultrafast time-resolved pump detection technology, researchers led by Prof. Sheng Zhigao from the Hefei Institutes of 麻豆淫院ical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have realized the gigahertz (GHz) frequency ...
A slow-motion movie on sports television channels shows processes in hundredths of a second. By contrast, processes on the nanoscale take place in the so-called femtosecond range: For example, an electron needs only billionths ...
Traditional viscometers rely on capillary flow, and falling balls are simple and effective means for measuring fluid viscosity over a large range. However, their low measurement throughput and lack of real-time monitoring ...
If you watched the most recent Super Bowl, you know the importance of a referee's call on the outcome of a game. Slow-motion replays and close-watching eyes help, but a new sensor technology could someday serve as an even ...
