Maximized electron interactions at the magic angle in twisted bilayer graphene
Nature, Published online: 31 July 2019; doi:10.1038/s41586-019-1431-9 Scanning tunnelling spectroscopy is used to map the atomic-scale electronic structure of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, finding multiple signatures of electron correlations and thus providing insight into the sought-after mechanism behind superconductivity in graphene.

Caterpillars of the peppered moth perceive color through their skin
It is difficult to distinguish caterpillars of the peppered moth from a twig. The caterpillars not only mimic the form but also the color of a twig. In a new study, researchers demonstrate that the caterpillars can sense the twig’s color with their skin. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Eye imaging technology provides opportunities in biotechnology
A researcher examined the flow properties of aqueous microcellulose suspensions. Optical coherence tomography, an imaging technology commonly used in medical imaging of eye, was applied in a novel way in her study. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Math: An optimal route on a sub-Riemannian manifold does not make sharp turns
The regularity of optimal routes on sub-Riemannian manifolds has been an important open problem in sub-Riemannian geometry since the early 90s. A researcher now gives new restrictions on the shape of optimal paths. The most important new restriction is the lack of sharp turns, i.e., corners. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.

Hepatitis B: Unusual virus discovered in shrews
The discovery of an unusual hepatitis B virus from shrews offers new opportunities of better understanding the chronic progression of the disease. International research teams were able to demonstrate that an important protein which is essential for the development of a chronic course of infection is not present in this virus.

Manufacture of light-activated proteins
A new strategy for designing light-sensitive proteins has been developed. Such proteins, also known as optogenetic tools, can be switched on and off through light impulses, thus triggering specific cellular processes. So far, researchers developing optogenetic tools have been pretty much forced to resort to trial-and-error. A combination of computer-aided and experimental methods has now…
Flu vaccine reduces risk of early death for elderly intensive care patients
An influenza vaccine does not just work when it comes to influenza. A new study shows that elderly people who have been admitted to an intensive care units have less risk of dying and of suffering a blood clot or bleeding in the brain if they have been vaccinated. And this is despite the fact…
Making a case for returning airships to the skies
Reintroducing airships into the world’s transportation-mix could contribute to lowering the transport sector’s carbon emissions and can play a role in establishing a sustainable hydrogen based economy. These lighter-than-air aircraft could ultimately increase the feasibility of a 100% sustainable world. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
A quarter of the world’s population at risk of developing tuberculosis
A new study has shown that probably 1 in 4 people in the world carry the tuberculosis bacterium in the body. The disease tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, which affects more than 10 million people every year, and kills up to 2 million, making it the most deadly of the infectious diseases.…
