Doctoral Fellow Simulates Self-Organization of Nanoparticles to Develop More Sophisticated Materials

What if you could place your cell phone on a surface that would charge the battery in under a second? What if those same batteries could pack enough energy to power electric vehicles with the same range as gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles? What if organic solar cells could compete with fossil fuel products?

JGU Professor Receives ERC Grant to Develop New Type of Magnetic Sensor for Recording Large Numbers of Revolutions

Professor Mathias Kläui of the Institute of Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has received a grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to develop a new type of magnetic sensor. This allows Kläui to develop a concept for a sensor further that will eventually be able to record large numbers of revolutions.

Theoretically, Direction of Spin of Nanoscale Magnets Can Be Controlled Remotely

In the eyes of physicists, magnetic molecules can be considered as nanoscale magnets. Remotely controlling the direction in which they rotate, like spinning tops, may intuitively be difficult to achieve. However, Russian physicists have just demonstrated that it is theoretically possible to do so. They have shown that a change of direction in the circular polarisation of an external magnetic field leads to a change in the direction of the mechanical rotation of the molecule.

Disposable Molecular Ruler Helps Determine Length of Bacteria’s Nanoscopic Needle

When a salmonella bacterium attacks a cell, it uses a nanoscopic needle to inject it with proteins to aid the infection. If the needle is too short, the cell won’t be infected. Too long, and the needle breaks. Now, University of Utah biologists report how a disposable molecular ruler or tape measure determines the length of the bacterial needle so it is just right.

Randomly Crumpled, Purposefully Folded Thin Polymeric Films Hold Promise for Aerospace Applications

While many of us crumple up a sheet of paper into a ball in frustration, physicist Andrew Croll views it as something quite different. The structure of the bends and folds created, as well as those found in origami—the art of folding paper into beautiful objects—may help solve a larger scientific puzzle. Instead of paper, Croll and his research team at North Dakota State University, Fargo, use polymer films known as “thin films,” or extremely thin slivers of layers of material—tens of nanometers thin. A nanometer is 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair.
