An expert group for high performance calculations was officially established on
20 May 2009 at the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching near
Munich. The team, named "High-Level-Support-Team" and supported financially
by...

Tiny disk-shaped lasers as small as a speck of dust could one day beam information through optical computers. Unfortunately, a perfect disk will spray light out, not as a beam, but in all directions. New theoretical results...

One problem with solar cells is that they only produce
electricity during the day. A promising way to use the sun's energy more
efficiently is to enlist it to split water into hydrogen gas that can be stored
and then...

Cymbals don’t clash of their own accord – in our world,
anyway. But the quantum world is bizarrely different. Two metal plates, placed
almost infinitesimally close together, spontaneously attract each other.

Environmentally friendly hydrogen gas fueled vehicles can
dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the country’s dependence
on sources of fossil fuel. Though several hydrogen vehicles exist on the market...

One of the fastest moving stars ever seen has been discovered with NASA's
Chandra X-ray Observatory. This cosmic cannonball is challenging theories to
explain its blistering speed.

The world's largest bolometer camera for submillimetre astronomy is now in
service at the 12-m APEX telescope, located on the 5100m high Chajnantor plateau
in the Chilean Andes. LABOCA was specifically designed for the study of
extremely...

Nearly a decade ago, now-Nobel laureates Craig Mello and Andrew Fire
discovered that they could insert short RNA molecules into worms and shut down
specific genes. Today, scientists routinely use this powerful method, termed RNA...

Division is a key stage of the life of the cells which brings
into play a very great number of molecular actors and a complex dynamics. While
collaborating, the biologists of CNRS at the Institute Curie and the physicists

A grain of wild wheat has everything required for plant
propagation - even tools for drilling into the soil. It uses its two awns for
this: in the dry daytime air, these bristles bend outwards. At night, dampened
by the dew, they straighten....

A human body has more than 10 to the power of
27 molecules with about one hundred thousand different shapes and functions.
Interactions between molecules determine our structure and keep us alive.
