Researchers have demonstrated a novel concept for exciting and probing coherent phonons in crystals of a transiently broken symmetry. The key of this concept lies in reducing the symmetry of a crystal ...

In December last year, the international humanitarian organisation We Care for Humanity (WCH), in partnership with the Elias ...

It’s well known that plants have a fine-tuned ability to sense changes in the season by how much daylight they’re exposed to, yet scientists observed more than a century ago that plants sometimes grow ...

Life can provide challenges. These challenges could include children with disabilities, family issues, personal traumas or other aspects of traumas experienced. However, with guidance and support ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

ICFO researchers have set a new record by generating the shortest soft X-ray pulse to date –just 19.2 attoseconds long. This is the fastest flash of light, faster than the atomic unit of time (24.2 ...

If your social media feed is full of glowing red face masks and crimson saunas, you're not alone. Lately, it seems like everyone is obsessed with red light therapy and hailing it for its various ...

A recent study published in Engineering has shed new light on the role of the protein NSUN2 in the development of cardiac ...

Atoms in a crystal form a regular lattice, in which they can move over small distances from their equilibrium positions. Such phonon excitations are represented by quantum states. A superposition of ...
