What are the approaches to connecting the human brain to a machine? In a study published in the journal ACS Nano, an international team of researchers led by Prof. Wolfgang Parak from the Department of Physics at the University of Hamburg examines nanotechnology research approaches from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Light-sensitive nanoparticles promise a wide range of applications, for example in the field of sensor technology or energy generation. However, these require knowledge and control of the processes taking place within them. Plasmons, collective electron movements in the nanoparticle which transport energy, are essential in...

Nano researcher Artur Feld has developed an innovative wax-based lubricant that improves performance in cycling and has a more sustainable effect. The scientist is being supported by the Department of Chemistry with an EXIST start-up grant for his NanoLube project.
