Overcoming challenges in electron transport through graphene nanostructures
Nothing in the world is perfect. This is also true in materials research. In computer simulations, one often represents a system in a highly idealized way; for example, one calculates the properties that an absolutely perfect crystal would have. In p.....»»
Poll: Did you ever notice any burn-in issues on your iPhone 14 Pro’s display?
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my experience downgrading from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Although it was a fun experiment, I did it because the display on my 14 Pro Max suffered a burn-in. After this event, I decided to do some res.....»»
How a failed experiment led to researchers showing that assumptions about chromosomal behavior were wrong
The cellular processes involved in gene regulation can be unexpectedly complicated. The expression of genes—the when, where and how much of gene activity—underlies all of biology, but is surprisingly poorly understood......»»
