Part 2 of the series "Under lock and key at Münster University": the vacuum machine at the Institute of Physics is used to investigate spin phenomena The yellow stickers can already be seen from a distance: "Laser beam", "High voltage - danger to life", "No unauthorized access".

A new green technology to generate electricity from discarded cocoa pod husks is set to benefit African farming communities currently with little or no access to grid power. The project, led by the University of Nottingham, aims to spawn an entirely new bio-fuel industry that would also improve socio-economic stability for cocoa producers in rural Ghana.

EPFL researchers have found a way to control and standardize the production of nanowires on silicon surfaces.

On-chip system that detects signals at sub-terahertz wavelengths could help steer driverless cars through fog and dust.

As the music starts, the dancer's body is cool and dry. The dancer is clothed in a colorful costume, a form-fitting second skin. Moves are rhythmic and effortless, rehearsed a thousand times until muscle memory replays them without flaw.

Physicists have discovered a new effect, which makes it possible to create excellent thermal insulators which conduct electricity.

EPFL researchers have developed a compact and efficient medium-frequency transformer. Their device is poised to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of tomorrow's smart grids and DC power distribution networks.

Quantum science comes to energy grid network protection Oak Ridge and Los Alamos national laboratory researchers collaborated with Chattanooga utility EPB to demonstrate next-generation grid security technology.
