Brightening dark excitons with photonic crystals

Researchers are working to improve 2D semiconductors by better understanding dark excitons and how they could be applied to future technologies ranging from quantum computers to next-generation solar panels.

Fossil-sorting robots will help researchers study oceans and climate

Researchers have developed and demonstrated a robot capable of sorting, manipulating, and identifying microscopic marine fossils. The new technology automates a tedious process that plays a key role in advancing our understanding ...

How cells turn independent and regulate functions

With his thesis, Jacob Lewerentz, Department of Molecular Biology at Umeå University, contributes to the knowledge about how cells regulate their protein level and adapt to a new milieu outside their organism. He has also ...

DNA typewriter taps out messages inside cells

While developing a new system for recording within cells, geneticist Jay Shendure and his team decided to give it a test run by using it to encode text. Since their invention relied on a nearly brand-new recording medium, ...
