A team of physicists has shown why hospital germs adhere strongly to surfaces from which water simply rolls off, but bind so poorly to surfaces that are easily wetted by water. These results from studies in both experimental and theoretical physics may help to improve antibacterial surfaces.

Researchers have artificially reproduced a nanoscale coating on different types of surfaces that usually covers the eyes of fruit flies, and which provides anti-reflective, anti-adhesive properties.
Researchers have found a completely new method to check the electronic properties of oxide materials. This opens the door to even tinier components and perhaps more sustainable electronics.
Researchers have cleared the obstacle that had prevented the creation of electrically driven nanolasers for integrated circuits. The approach enables coherent light source design on the scale not only hundreds of times smaller than the thickness of a human hair but even smaller than the wavelength of light emitted by the laser.
Scientists have uncovered a link between the microscopic movements of particles in a liquid and its ability to absorb heat.
Research team develops new NMR methods for investigating paramagnetic complexes and supramolecular cages.
Researchers have developed a photoresist for two-photon microprinting. It has now been used for the first time to produce three-dimensional polymer microstructures with cavities in the nano range.
Researchers have made a discovery on how to control the way electric charges spin on a diamond's surface that could pave the way for a new type of diamond-powered energy efficient electronic devices.
Physicists designed a silicon-based light source to generate single photons that propagate well in glass fibers.
Scientists have used machine-learning to organize the chemical diversity found in the ever-growing databases for the popular metal-organic framework materials.
Titanium isotopes reveal unexpected stability of trapped neutrons inside nuclei
A resear h collaboration has reviewed the fundamental theories underpinning the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE).
