IBM’s invention of nanosheet technology has demonstrated scaling to the 2 nanometer node, with a world-record gate length just 2 dozen atoms long. This breakthrough enables 45% faster speed or 75% less power as compared to the best available 7 nm transistors, extending the semiconductor roadmap for the coming decade.…

Two states of matter “solid” and “fluid”, which are mutually exclusive in the classical world, can exist simultaneously in the quantum world. The supersolid was created by dysprosium atoms that behave like tiny magnets and that were cooled down to near absolute zero (-273° Celsius). To generate a supersolid, the…

Li-ion batteries are currently the most potent and widely used energy storage concept. To render the use of Li-Ion Batteries sustainable, suitable recycling concepts are urgently needed.

The goal is that children themselves actively explore new sources of maths and art education through transdisciplinary artworks, which express various connections between mathematics and arts. Any child could submit artworks for the open…

He coordinated an initiative of biological evaluation and repositioning of tenofovir fumarate for the treatment of COVID-19 and is conducting clinical studies with patients and applying metabolomics techniques. In 2005, he helped fund a Tech Park in Ribeirão Preto, elected among the top 20 in the world (UBI Global 2019…

Oxide glasses are an integral part of the modern world, but their usefulness can be limited by their characteristic brittleness at room temperature. Megan Cordill et al. show that amorphous aluminum oxide can permanently deform without fracture at room temperature and high strain rate by a viscous creep mechanism. These…

Together with the architect Prof. Sven Pfeiffer (University of the Arts Berlin), the microbiologue Prof. Vera Meyer researches on alternatives for sustainable and climate-neutral construction material. Within their research they want find the best material and new ways of designing and constructing buildings with fungi. This groundbreaking research enables new…

Little Big, Science is a voluntary Registered NGO, that was founded to bridge the apparent gap between the scientific community and the general public in Israel in a direct way.
