Professor Ronny Thomale holds a chair for theoretical condensed matter physics, the TP1, at the Julius-Maximilian University of Würzburg. The discovery and theoretical description of new quantum states of matter is a prime objective of his research. „Developing a theory for a new physical phenomenon which then inspires new experiments seeking after this effect is
A new technique allows researchers to test how the deformation of tiny train track-like cell proteins affects their function. The findings could help clarify the roles of deformed “microtubules” in traumatic brain injuries and in neurological diseases like Parkinson’s. Microtubules are tube-like proteins that act like train tracks for other cellular proteins to move along
At first, it’s a little unclear what the audience is supposed to feel about Rafa. Is she manipulating her younger sister out of malice? Some of her lines sound like she’s trying to pit Trace against Ahsoka. Or is Rafa loving but desperate and willing to risk everything for a payday that might finally free
Segment Next has spotted a BioWare job listing which reveals that the studio is working to hire a technical director to work on a new game in one of their franchises. “You will be the most senior engineering lead on the next major title in one of BioWare’s most prestigious franchises, and a contributing leader
Whoever came up with this plan, we also know that it wasn’t the dogs. Bill’s kitchen table poking this week revealed that their neural density’s about as packed as a leaky beanbag, Those fools don’t even have an optic nerve, let alone the acuity to come up with something of this magnitude. They’re just the
Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney noted that the company is trying to build “the publishing model we always wanted for ourselves when we worked with publishers.” Hector Sanchez, Head of Epic Games Publishing, noted that partner studios will also have “full creative control.” The terms of typical publisher/developer deals can vary wildly, so
Deep inside computer chips, tiny wires made of gold and other conductive metals carry the electricity used to process data. But as these interconnected circuits shrink to nanoscale, engineers worry that pressure, such as that caused by thermal expansion when current flows through these wires, might cause gold to behave more like a liquid than

This The Magicians review contains spoilers. The Magicians Season 5 Episode 12 The Magicians should be applauded for its commitment to including a musical episode each season, and the fact that “The Balls” comes just before the end of the series makes this one particularly poignant. In that sense, centering the songs around emotions, bottled
We don’t need to tell you what Fortnite is. As one of the most popular games in the world, Fortnite has captured the attention of everyone from children and streamers to the makers of the highest-grossing movie of all-time. Hype aside, Fortnite remains an exceptional free-to-play experience. Epic continues to update Fortnite to the point

With a huge chunk of the world currently under stay-at-home orders from their local or national governments, a number of parents are slowly going insane from all the constant screaming over “Into the Unknown” playing on loop.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Uncharted 4 is the culmination of the Naughty Dog action-adventure series starring explorer and treasure hunter Nathan Drake. Trying to hang up his guns and raise a family, Nathan Drake is thrust right back into the action by his brother Sam, who was thought dead. Together, and with their faithful

Amazon Prime Video UK used to release a bountiful preview list full of films and TV shows it was planning to add to the service every month, but for some reason it decided to stop doing that, and instead hand out a list of highlights. Now, as much as we were disappointed by that choice
That dynamism is reflected in King’s storytelling techniques, as well. King has for some time been an evangelist for the nine-panel grid. He would use that rigid storytelling structure to frame his stories, and when the story broke out of that grid, the effect would be like a crescendo in music – everything got bigger
“To some extent, everything we just described is about ‘What does VR as a platform and experience bring to the table?’” Walker asks. “And if that is not significant, then it’s not interesting? We believe it’s significant and interesting. And there’s no better way than to play this game in non-VR, I think, than to
The scene shows Phryne rushing to Detective Jack Robinson’s rescue (as she often does). Jack is on the wrong side of a fist fight from a mysterious and nefarious figure, who seems to be in wrongful possession of a pendant. After Phryne makes sure Jack is OK, she chases after the behatted figure, following him
Star War 1313 remains not only one of gaming’s most famous cancelled projects but an essential piece of video game and Star Wars history. That’s an impressive legacy for a game that we honestly don’t know that much about. Fortunately, a recently leaked screenshot may reveal a big piece of the Star Wars 1313 puzzle.

BETHLEHEM, Pa., USA: In line with the exceptional measures taken by Lehigh University to mitigate the risk of exposure and spread of COVID-19, the 2020 Lehigh Microscopy School, originally scheduled for May 31-June 5, 2020, in Bethlehem, Pa., has been canceled. The Lehigh Microscopy School, a week-long series of courses that keeps engineers, scientists, and
Scientists at University of Limerick’s Bernal Institute have helped discover a molecule that could have a major impact on how data is stored and processed. The UL researchers found that a simple metal-organic molecule can go beyond simple binary (0 – OFF, 1 – ON) computing logic and can in fact switch between three distinct,

Rosa is deeply in need, whether she realizes it or not. Her physical addictions might be gone, but the underlying issues were still waiting for her, and some have only been exacerbated by the strange circumstances of her revival.

Scientists have made a breakthrough in the development of a new generation of electronics that will require less power and generate less heat. It involves exploiting the complex quantum properties of electrons – in this case, the spin state of electrons. In a world first, the researchers – led by a team of physicists from
