May 16, 2025 Researchers developed an optical method with record sensitivity to detect ultra-weak atomic motion, enabling new ways to study ultrafast processes in materials. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers from TU Dortmund University, the University of Paderborn, and the University of Nottingham has developed a new optical method...

May 16, 2025 Scientists mapped turbulent energy in the interstellar medium with record resolution, revealing magnetic effects and insights into galactic structure and star formation. (Nanowerk News) Unlike the phenomenon observed on Earth – chaotic, seemingly random motion in air or water – turbulence in space occurs in a plasma,...

May 16, 2025 Researchers engineer a new class of microlattice materials with enhanced stiffness-to-density ratios and giant negative Poisson's ratios, ideal for lightweight applications. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Material performance is often constrained by a tradeoff between strength and weight. This tension has motivated decades of effort to develop structural materials that...

May 16, 2025 Scientists uncovered how the resistance protein FusB deflects fusidic acid in bacteria, using atomic-level imaging to reveal a crowbar-like resistance mechanism. (Nanowerk News) In a new article published in Nature Communications ("Structural mechanism of FusB-mediated rescue from fusidic acid inhibition of protein synthesis"), researchers from Uppsala Antibiotic...

May 16, 2025 Researchers developed a finely tuned method for growing titanium dioxide nanorod arrays with controllable spacing without changing individual rod size and demonstrated its application in high-performance solar cells. (Nanowerk News) A research team led by Prof. WANG Mingtai at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the...
