General anaesthesia does not impact brain function

A study found that patient factors such as a history of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, smoking, and educational level, have more of a long-term impact on cognitive decline compared to general anaesthesia exposure. A study into general anaesthesia Post-operative...

Researchers discover a new type of earthquake

A Canadian and German led research team have discovered and documented a new type of earthquake in an injection environment in British Columbia, Canada. Unlike conventional earthquakes of the same magnitude, this newly discovered earthquake is slower and lasts longer....

New heavy fermion material mimics quantum entangled rare earth compounds

By combining two-dimensional materials, researchers create a macroscopic quantum entangled state, labelled heavy fermion materials, that emulates rare earth compounds. Physicists have designed a new ultra-thin two-layer material with quantum properties that would usually require rare earth compounds. This material,...

New carbon material, labelled Paracrystalline diamond, has been created

Bayreuth University researchers successfully created a carbon material with a unique structure, developed under an ultrahigh-pressure technique. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have collaborated with partners in China and the US, to successfully produce a carbon material that does...

Winners of the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics announced

Krzysztof Gawędzki and Antti Kupiainen share the 2022 Dannie Heineman Prize for mathematical physics. The American Institute of Physics (AIP) and the American Physical Society (APS) announced on November 24, 2021 in Washington that Krzysztof Gawędzki and Antti Kupiainen are...

Scientists have achieved a seemingly unattainable energy transition

A group of scientists from Basel and Bochum have successfully conducted an apparently unattainable energy transition in an artificial atom, using laser light. Making use of the radiative Auger process, a team of scientists have become the first team to...

Driving global graphene innovation

Terrance Barkan, Executive Director of The Graphene Council, explains the great potential for graphene application and the need for investment to facilitate future innovation in the US and worldwide. Based in the US with offices in Europe and South America,...

How positively and negatively charged ions behave at interfaces

Scientists examine the behaviour and trends of how positively and negatively charged ions interact within a solid and aqueous solution. A collaboration of scientists from the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV at the Ruhr-University in Brochum, CALSOLV in Berkeley, and the...

Development of a novel resonator to aid nanoparticle detection

A researcher from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has developed a technique utilising optical resonators to advance the field of nanoparticle detection. Nanoparticles are ubiquitous in the environment around us: viruses in ambient air, proteins in the body, as building...

Linking atomic nuclei size and blackhole thermodynamic principles

Researchers have discovered a fundamental connection between the size of atomic nuclei and blackhole thermodynamic principles. By utilising a novel method centred on an innovative geometrical interpretation of entropy, a collaborative group of scientists has identified a new technique to...
