Ferroelectric nematic liquids

Ferroelectric nematic liquids

Nematic liquid crystals have been known for decades and are widely utilized in modern display technologies, constituting a multibillion-dollar business. Their applicability lies in a unique combination of fluidity, anisotropic physical properties, and processability....
Quantum entanglement, foundations and experiments

Quantum entanglement, foundations and experiments

In this lecture, the Nobel laureate Prof. Anton Zeilinger will explain the phenomenon of quantum entanglement and the experimental methods used to probe it. He will present the pioneering experiments with entangled photons that demonstrated the violation of Bell...
From stem cells to smart brains in the lab

From stem cells to smart brains in the lab

Lab grown mini-brains encompass a large collection of in vitro stem cell-derived three-dimensional culture systems that aim to recapitulate multiple aspects of in vivo brain development and function. Our laboratory focusses on the functional characterisation of murine...

Build a community with LEGO microbes

Although we know that microbes are a key element for the existence of all living beings on our planet, we cannot imagine how, despite their small size, they manage to control the entire planet. Based on current research, we can assert that by acting locally at...
