Engineering Materials that Act as Superconductors at the Nanoscale

One major goal on the path toward making useful superconducting devices has been engineering materials that act as superconductors at the nanoscale - the realm of billionths of a meter. Such nanoscale superconductors would be useful in devices such as superconductive transistors and eventually in ultrafast, power-saving electronics.

Scientists Shed New Light on Bacterial 'Crisis Command Centres'

EU-funded scientists have shed new light on bacterial 'crisis command centres', giant molecules that help bacteria mount a rapid response to a wide range of stresses and dangers. The findings, which are published in the latest edition of the journal Science, increase our understanding of how bacteria survive in harsh, changing environments.

Mapping of Electron Distribution in Hypervalent Atom Advances our Understanding of Rare Carbon Compounds

Carbon atoms are the building blocks for millions of organic molecules, yet this variety is built on the simple rule that carbon almost always shares a total of four chemical bonds with its neighbors. Now, an international team of chemists has mapped a highly unusual compound containing a carbon atom that hooks up to six atoms at once.
