Moving molecule writes letters
Caging of molecules allows investigation of equilibrium thermodynamics
03-Mar-2015
On the search for high performance materials for applications such as gas storage, thermal insulators or dynamic nanosystems it is essential to understand the thermal behavior of matter down to the molecular level. Classical thermodynamics average over time and over a large number of molecules. ...
Gummy bears under antiparticle fire
Positrons answer questions on targeted release of medication
05-Jan-2015
Gelatin is used in the pharmaceutical industry to encapsulate active agents. It protects against oxidation and overly quick release. Tiny pores in the material have a significant influence on this, yet they are difficult to investigate. In experiments on gummy bears, researchers at Technische ...
Live from inside a battery
Researchers observe the phenomenon of "lithium plating" during the charging process
05-Sep-2014
Lithium-ion batteries are seen as a solution for energy storage of the future and have become indispensible, especially in electromobility. Their key advantage is that they are able to store large amounts of energy but are still comparatively light and compact. However, when metallic lithium ...
Flexible tapes from the nanoworld
Chemical reaction yields "tapes" of porphin molecules
14-Aug-2014
Dr.Wilhelm Auwärter and his team are working on a research project to develop tiny flat molecule tapes at the Department of Physics of Technische Universität München (TUM). These structures could find versatile applications. Via direct coupling on a silver surface, the scientists successfully ...
Learning from sharks
19-May-2014
Custom-tailored antibodies are regarded as promising weapons against a multitude of serious illnesses. Since they can accurately recognize specific structures on the surface of viruses, bacteria or cancer cells, they are already being deployed successfully in cancer diagnostics and therapy, as ...
Using antineutrinos to monitor nuclear reactors
Astroparticle physics methodology applied to nuclear facility monitoring
29-Apr-2014
When monitoring nuclear reactors, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has to rely on input given by the operators. In the future, antineutrino detectors may provide an additional option for monitoring. However, heretofore the cumulative antineutrino spectrum of uranium 238 fission ...
