For the first time, Manganese complexes show the types of luminescent properties and photocatalytic behavior that were primarily associated with noble metal compounds until now.…
The monolayer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is sandwiched between two protective layers of boron nitride (hBN), with molybdenum rhenium (MoRe) contacts extending through the upper…
Coffee, cola or an energy drink: caffeine is the world’s most widely consumed psychoactive substance. Researchers from the University of Basel have now shown in…
Researchers at the University of Basel have discovered a molecular mechanism that plays a central role in intact long-term memory. This mechanism is also involved…
The new single-photon source is based on excitation of a quantum dot (shown as a bulge on the bottom left), which then emits photons. A…
The Covid-19 pandemic is impacting people’s mental health. But what helps and hinders people in getting through a lockdown? A new study led by researchers…
Humans have taken spiders into space more than once to study the importance of gravity to their web-building. What originally began as a somewhat unsuccessful…
[embedded content]David Indolese, a Physicist at the University of Basel, shortly explains the new SQUID – a minuscule instrument able to detect extremely faint magnetic…
The individual building blocks are heated on a silver surface in order to synthesize a porous graphene ribbon that exhibits semiconducting properties and a ladder-like…
A loop of laser light connects the oscillations of a nanomechanical membrane and the spin of a cloud of atoms. Credit: University of Basel, Department…
Corrugations in graphene slow down the pace of traveling electrons. By pulling on the graphene sheet on two opposite sides, it is flattened and smoothed,…
A low-temperature atomic force microscope with a single carbon atom at the tip allows quantitative measurement of forces between sample and tip. With two-dimensional silicon…
This is the structure of Rostratin A (foreground) and the fungus ‘exserohilum rostratum’ from which it was isolated (background). Credit: University of Basel, Olivier Baudoin…
The gold tip is moved across the surface of the topological insulator and experiences energy loss only at discrete, quantized energies. This is related to…
