A novel microscope pins down the miracle of molecular oxygen
Researchers track the first step of the reaction of one single dye pigment with oxygen at unprecedented resolution
26-Jul-2021
Why is it that the colours of a t-shirt fade over time in the sun? Why do you get a sunburn, and why do the leaves of a tree turn brown in the autumn? These questions all have one theme in common, the interplay between dye pigments and ambient oxygen. Every child learns about this chemical ...
Sartorius continues on its fast growth trajectory
Significant double-digit increases in sales and earnings
22-Jul-2021
Sartorius has continued on its fast growth trajectory, closing the first half of 2021 with significant double-digit increases in both sales revenue and order intake. “In the first six months of the year, we have seen unabated high demand for innovative technologies used in the development and ...
Electrons in quantum liquid gain energy from laser pulses
The findings open new doors for ultra-fast electron microscopy
14-Jul-2021
The absorption of energy from laser light by free electrons in a liquid has been demonstrated for the first time. Until now, this process was observed only in the gas phase. The findings, led by Graz University of Technology, open new doors for ultra-fast electron microscopy. The investigation ...
Team tracks real-time molecular motions
Important new insights into a key process for the development of more efficient solar cells
09-Jul-2021
The efficiency of solar cells can be significantly increased with a certain physical effect. A research team has now observed in detail for the first time how molecular movements influence this effect. Researchers from the Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) in Berlin, the Max Planck Institute for the ...
The beginning of a new era in resolution
World record: Team of researchers has succeeded in achieving the world's highest electron microscope resolution to date
06-Jul-2021
Scientists at Cornell University (USA) have succeeded in building an electron microscope pixel array detector (EMPAD) with sophisticated 3D reconstruction algorithms that make it possible to multiply the resolution of a state-of-the-art electron microscope. The Leibniz-Institut für ...
High-resolution microscope built from LEGO and bits of phone
Research shows constructing microscope improves children’s understanding - enlightening, educational and fun
06-Jul-2021
Microscopy is an essential tool in many fields of science and medicine. However, many groups have limited access to this technology due to its cost and fragility. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster have succeeded in building a high-resolution microscope using nothing ...
World's first toxicology testing strategy without animal testing adopted by OECD
Success for long-standing collaboration between BASF and Givaudan to develop and validate alternative methods
30-Jun-2021
The world’s first toxicology testing strategy without animal testing has been approved by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). The testing strategy consists of three so-called alternative methods. They can be used to predict whether a substance causes allergic ...
New high-speed method for spectroscopic measurements
23-Jun-2021
Researchers at Tampere University and their collaborators have shown how spectroscopic measurements can be made much faster. By correlating polarization to the colour of a pulsed laser, the team can track changes in the spectrum of the light by simple and extremely fast polarization measurements. ...
WITec joins Oxford Instruments
22-Jun-2021
The management team of WITec GmbH announced that WITec was acquired by Oxford Instruments plc, a UK based company that has a great reputation in the scientific community, and in the future will be part of their Materials Analysis Group. WITec’s founders Dr. Joachim Koenen and Dr. Olaf Hollricher ...
Easy detection of materials
Low-cost, mobile near-infra-red spectrometer provides information about different substances
14-Jun-2021
Sugar or sweetener? Cotton or wool? Fake or genuine? At first glance, the average consumer finds it hard to tell the substances that food or textile products actually contain. Equipment which uses infra-red measurement to identify materials can provide quick answers to these questions, though. ...
