11/8/11 Researchers from Liège have succeeded in manipulating a tiny synthetic molecular machine and in measuring the mechanical work performed by this molecule. This feat of nanotechnology has been rewarded by publication in Nature Nanotechnology.
10/14/11 Today we have a better understanding of the physical phenomena that occur when someone rubs a “Tibetan singing bowl” filled with water – and also how the vaporizer in your living room works.
5/20/11 Any measurement within the field of physics is marred by noise. At extreme precisions this noise is of a quantum nature: that is the Heisenberg limit. Researchers have just conceived of a system which would allow this limit to be reached more easily.
5/5/11 Knowing the conditions which reign over the surfaces of the oceans is important for an understanding of the climate. But how to observe them if layers of cloud prevent any observation?
4/29/11 The reaction of spallation will be a key element in the new generation of nuclear power stations. To better understand it, precise modelling of fission reactions is required.
