  Wurzburg, Germany (SPX) Oct 19, 2019 Plants and bacteria lead the way: They can capture the energy of sunlight with light-harvesting antennas and transfer it to a reaction centre. Transporting energy efficiently and in a targeted fashion in a minimum of space - this is also of interest to mankind. If scientists were to master it perfectly, they could significantly improve photovoltaics and optoelectronics. But how can the flow of energy be observed? This is what Tobias Brixner's group at the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chem ... read more |

 New Haven CT (SPX) Oct 18, 2019 
For many, the word "aerosol" might conjure thoughts of hairspray or spray paint. More accurately, though, aerosols are simply particles found in the atmosphere. They can be human-made, like from car exhaust or biomass burning, or naturally occurring, from sources such as volcanic eruptions or sea spray.
Aerosols account for one of the greater uncertainties in understanding the Earth's clim ... more |

"Weather" in clusters of galaxies may explain a longstanding puzzle, according to a team of researchers at the University of Cambridge. The scientists used sophisticated simulations to show how powerful jets from supermassive black holes are disrupted by the motion of hot gas and galaxies, preventing gas from cooling, which could otherwise form stars. The team publish their work in the journal M ... more |
