Scientists Unveil Self-Organisation of Nano Machines

In the nanoworld many things are different. Scientists only recently started unveiling and harnessing the underlying laws and principles. A team associated with Professor Johannes Barth from the Physics Department of the TU Muenchen have now succeeded in capturing rod-shaped molecules in a two-dimensional network in such a way that they autonomously form small rotors that turn in their honeycomb-like cages.

Tel Aviv University Researchers Explore Bio-Ferrography Technique to Treat Osteoarthritis

Tel Aviv -- Ferrography, a practice used by the American and Israeli air forces to monitor the condition of machinery, extracts tiny iron particles from lubricants such as oil and grease to analyze wear in machines. Determining whether a system requires preventative maintenance can be the key to preventing catastrophic failure.

Stuttgart Physicists Prove Superposition of Ultralong-Range Rydberg Molecules

Everybody is familiar with the problem to choose between two alternatives. This also holds for relationships. The question whether being a couple or not has a yes-or-no answer – either one is a couple or not. Quantum physics offers an interesting alternative. There, the couples are pairs of atoms that are held together by binding forces to form molecules.
