Conventional lithium ion batteries, such as those widely used in smartphones and notebooks, have reached performance limits.

[ Florian Aigner - "Frequency combs" are optimally suited for chemical sensors. A revolutionary technology developed at TU Wien (Vienna) now produces these laser frequencies in a much easier and more robust way.

Process that modifies semiconductor material atom by atom could enable higher-performance electronics.

Brain scientists have plenty of ways to track the activity of individual neurons in the brain, but they're all invasive.

High-power, tunable design could be used for chemical detection in outer space, medical imaging, more.

Researchers have discovered a 'blind spot' in atomic force microscopy - a powerful tool capable of measuring the force between two atoms, imaging the structure of individual cells and the motion of biomolecules.
