  Bochum, Germany (SPX) May 07, 2019 Nanoparticles can be used in many ways as catalysts. To be able to tailor them in such a way that they can catalyse certain reactions selectively and efficiently, researchers need to determine the properties of single particles as precisely as possible. So far, an ensemble of many nanoparticles is analysed. However, the problem of these investigations is that the contributions of different particles interfere, so that the properties of individual particles remain concealed.

The tracking strategy utilized by hawks could be used to capture rogue drones, according to a new study.
Falcons track their prey a lot like a heat-seeking missiles honing in on a target - they follow a streamlined trajectory, capturing airborne prey. But hawks must navigate more crowded environs and follow small targets that zig and zag across the ground.

In 2004, researchers discovered a super thin material that is at least a 100 times stronger than steel and the best known conductor of heat and electricity.
This means that the material, graphene, could bring faster electronics than is possible today with silicon.
But to truly be useful, graphene would need to carry an electric current that switches on and off, like what silicon does ... more |
