SPT-CL J2106-5844 is the most massive high-redshift galaxy cluster, study finds
Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have conducted a detailed high-resolution study of a massive galaxy cluster known as SPT-CL J2106-5844. The research, presented in a paper published October 10 ...
Extreme biomimetics – the search for natural sources of materials engineering inspiration
Biologically inspired engineering to produce biomimetic materials and scaffolds typically occurs at the micro- or nanoscale. In a new study on Science Advances, Iaroslav Petrenko and a multidisciplinary global research team, ...
Probing work and heat dissipation in the quantum Hall edges of graphene
Combining our nano-SQUID on tip with scanning gate measurements in the quantum Hall phase of graphene we were able to measure and identify work and heat dissipation processes separately. The measurements show that the dissipation ...
