Whether it concerns OLED displays or organic solar cells. Anyone who wants to optimize their operations must take into account how the hybrid materials that are used interact with each other. That is why Oliver Hofmann and his research group…
Scientists at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in Austria have succeeded in a new feat: They have developed a method that allows them to perforate certain layers of material precisely while leaving others completely untouched. Is it just…
The EU wants to reduce transport-related greenhouse gas emissions. A shift from road to water could bring this goal closer, but so far inland shipping has not been used uniformly well across Europe, says Matthias Prandtstetter of the Austrian Institute…
If you can’t see it, it’s not there, right? Wrong! But if you look at it in this way, its mode of action becomes clear: The SARS-CoV-2 virus in 3D print – for non-scientists and pharmaceutical research. If the real…
An international team of scientists led by VU University in Amsterdam physicist Jeroen Koelemeij has developed a new method for measuring vibration frequencies in the molecular hydrogen ion with a level of accuracy four hundred times higher than before. This…
The month of August once again seems to be dominated by the coronavirus in Europe. The lung virus, which by now has infected more people than the entire population of the Netherlands, is still raging around the world at full…
Poorly functioning balance organs not only lead to imbalance when walking but often also lead to feelings of isolation and broader health complaints. Maastricht University came up with a solution: a hip belt that offers the body signals to stay…
By analyzing the entire human genome, doctors are able to diagnose rare diseases much more quickly. Belgian researchers from Leuven, together with scientists from the University of Cambridge, UK, have developed a method for this purpose. It is the first…
Let the numbers speak for themselves. The new Genoese bridge is 1067 meters long and counts 19 spans, which are supported by 18 pylons measuring 40 meters in length. While Renzo Piano cannot be expressed in a number, it was…
The electricity grid is at its maximum capacity in more and more places. Especially in sparsely populated areas, there is too little margin. And that means that it is precisely these areas that are unsuitable for generating wind or solar…
