Crystal phase engineering: the “art” of creating materials with tailor made properties by playing with their crystal structure

Nowadays materials science faces an even more ambitious task: creating materials by design, that is engineering materials with tailor made properties, typically because they can be useful for some specific applications. A way to achieve…

The group of technology of the Department of Physics published a video of “rippling ribbons” to the Gallery of Fluid Motion competition held at the last annual APS/DfD meeting.

This video described a phenomenon during planar flow casting of amorphous metallic ribbons. gfm.aps.org/meetings/dfd-2018/5b9ada89b8ac3105e5ac8e25 Moreover, the use of these amorphous metallic ribbons and the collaboration with…

Cryo-force spectroscopy reveals the mechanical properties of DNA components

Physicists from the University of Basel have developed a new method to examine the elasticity and binding properties of DNA molecules on a surface at extremely low temperatures. With a combination of cryo-force spectroscopy and computer…

Novel approach to coherent control of a three-level quantum system

For the first time, researchers were able to study quantum interference in a three-level quantum system and thereby control the behavior of individual electron spins. To this end, they used a novel nanostructure, in which a quantum system…
