A dark matter mystery: How scientists help the Euclid project to detect dark matter

Dark matter and dark energy dominate the nature of the universe — yet the phenomena have largely remained a mystery to science. Soon, the Euclid...
Perovskite solar cells

Understanding and improving the tolerance of perovskites

In the quest for future high-efficient electronic devices, perovskites have emerged as the most promising material candidates by far. The main reason for this is...
Snapshots from the classical molecular dynamics simulation show several lead ions bound to hemicellulose along the unbinding path — an energetically strongly unfavourable process.

Exploring a new measure against heavy metal pollution: Simulations show how bio-waste materials can capture heavy metals in water

Organic waste such as fruit peels or spent coffee grounds can capture toxic heavy metal pollutants in water — a capability which could help to...
Wake flow of a hydrokinetic turbine with helical vortices arising from the tips of the rotating turbine blades

Energy from the Oceans: simulations help to design efficient tidal turbine farms

Ocean tides deliver a reliable source of renewable energy that can be harvested with hydrokinetic turbine farms. It is, however, not fully clear yet how...

Scientists explore lipid metabolism with simulations and experiments

Proper regulation of lipid metabolism and storage is critical for our health. A central role in this is played by so-called lipid droplets, which are...
Cover image: The illustration shows multiple layers of lithium ions intercalated into two atom-thin sheets of graphene.

Simulations help to tailor the properties of 2D materials

Be it for more efficient energy harvesting and storage or for better superconductors — Arkady Krasheninnikov’s simulations carried out with the help of PRACE resources,...
Simulated air vorteces around an aricraft wing section

Future aircraft wings will be able to adapt their shape mid-flight

A team of scientists developed and optimised a concept for wing components that, thanks to electrically driven actuators, are able to adapt their shape as...

Optimising laser-powered particle acceleration

Powering particle accelerators with lasers has the potential to turn what is at present a hugely expensive but vital scientific tool into something far more...
Illustration of Superradiance; a helical light beam

Revolution in physics: scientists have identified a form of generalised superradiation

In a way, superradiance is the ne plus ultra of radiation. Its powerful light is critical for many experiments in a broad range of scientific...
