New methods are enabling physicists and biologists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter to break new scientific ground. With the help of new radiation sources, ...

Stress is a well-established trigger for a number of neuropsychiatric disorders, as it alters both structure and function of several brain regions and its networks. Herein, we conduct a longitudinal ...

Scientists have succeeded in programming the dynamics of structures in an artificial chemical system on the basis of DNA components. Cells assemble dynamically: their components are continuously ...

A joint research project of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), the University of Siegen, Forschungszentrum Jülich, and the Elettra Synchrotron Trieste has achieved a new milestone for the ...

The dynamics of a resonantly excited thin cantilever with an active controller are investigated experimentally. The controller mimics a passive wideband absorber discussed in the accompanying theory ...

Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed onto their mirror images through any combination of rotations or translations, much like the distinct left and right hands of a human. In chiral ...
