Photoemission orbital tomography (POT) makes electrons in molecules visible – but it can do more than that, as shown by Anja Meier in her award-winning doctoral thesis.
The energy transition is underway, though it is not always progressing smoothly. Some feel it is not happening fast enough, particularly in light of the consequences of the Iran war, while others warn against misguided investments. In this interview, Prof. Jochen Linßen, an expert in systems analysis, explains what really matters.
Genome research has gained a new reading aid. The AI tool Helixer identifies where individual genes begin and end within a genome – and does so at astonishing speed.
Dan Buca and his team are developing photonic components, such as lasers and sensors, that can be seamlessly integrated into silicon chips. The material consists solely of elements from the silicon group and can convert waste heat into electrical energy.
To gain a better understanding of the brain, researchers need to untangle its vast labyrinth of nerve fibres. Jülich is developing new methods to do just that. A novel imaging technique is now expanding existing approaches.
