New Research Unit Receives DFG Approval to Determine Neutrino Mass Hierarchy

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved a new research unit focusing on the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy during the JUNO experiment. Professor Michael Wurm and his team at the Institute of Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz will form part of this collaboration, which is coordinated by RWTH Aachen University.

New Way to Measure Pull of Gravity at Star's Surface

Researchers have found a new way to measure the pull of gravity at the surface of a star. For distant stars with planets orbiting them, this information is key in determining whether any of those planets can harbour life.

New Book on ‘Beyond the Galaxy’ for Curious Minds

When a curious young adult wants to know the answers to the ultimate questions about the Universe -- what it's made of, where it came from, what its fate is, etc. - where do you send them to? Until now, a tremendous series of specialized books, a graduate-level education in cosmology, or months of one-on-one education, were your only options.

Cr-Doped (Sb, Bi)2Te3 Thin Films Could Help Develop Extremely Low Power Consumption Electric Devices

A group of researchers in Japan and China identified the requirements for the development of new types of extremely low power consumption electric devices by studying Cr-doped (Sb, Bi)2Te3 thin films. This study has been reported in Nature Communications.

Super-Earths Could Contain Forbidden Compounds

Using mathematical models, scientists have “looked” into the interior of super-Earths and discovered that they may contain compounds that are forbidden by the rules of classical chemistry – and the presence of newly predicted substances may increase the heat transfer rate and strengthen the magnetic field on these planets. The findings have been presented in a paper published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Electrons Controlled Within Atomically Thin Material Device

Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated a new way of controlling electrons by confining them in a device made out of atomically thin materials, and applying external electric and magnetic fields. This research, published on 23 December 2015 in the prestigious scientific journal Nature, was led by Professor Antonio Castro Neto and his research team at the Centre for Advanced 2D Materials (CA2DM) of the NUS Faculty of Science.
