Memristor-based sensing devices generate biological-like electrical signals that mimic those found in the brain for better computing.
Black hole asymmetry puts quantum gravity to the test
Physicists hope to detect asymmetry in spinning black holes using NASA’s LISA telescope to finally provide proof of quantum gravity.
A photoswitchable drug to better understand brain states
A drug that changes conformation in response to light allows researchers to manipulate neural activity and investigate the link between brain states and behavior.
Jupiter’s moons could be warming each other
The gravitational push and pull by Jupiter’s moons could account for more warming than the gas giant Jupiter alone.
Astronomers find regular rhythms among pulsating stars
Through the noise, a class of stars reveals its inner workings; poor ‘social distancing’ identified using NASA space telescope
Environmental Noise and Coherence Time in Quantum Dot Qubits
Predicting the experimental conditions that enhance coherence times for semiconducting quantum dot hybrid qubits.
Brain connections: neuromorphic devices emulate the brain’s hardware
How the brain’s functional connectivity can be induced in neuromorphic devices to overcome the limitations of conventional silicon technology.
Bio-inspired Kirigami Architectures for Resilient Miniature Sensors
The mechanical cycling of a number of microscale 3D polymer‐based architectures is investigated.
Tales Around the Clock: poly(A) Tails in Circadian Gene Expression
Light is perhaps the main environmental cue (zeitgeber) that affects several aspects of physiology and behaviour, such as sleep/wake cycles, orientation of birds and bees, and leaf movements in plants. Temperature can serve as the main zeitgeber in the absence of light cycles, even though it does not lead to rhythmicity through the same mechanism as light.
Geometry- and Topology-Controlled Nanoarchitectures: Focussed Session
An interplay between two realms is the subject of the Focussed Session: Geometry- and Topology-Controlled Nanoarchitectures at the Joint Meeting of DPG (Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft) and EPS (European Physical Society) Condensed Matter Divisions on March 13, 2018 at the TU Berlin.
