Göttinger Forscher beobachten die ultraschnelle Dynamik an Oberflächen auf der atomaren Skala

In der mikroskopischen Welt von Atomen und Molekülen läuft vieles im Bereich von Femtosekunden und Pikosekunden ab, also Billiardsteln und Billionsteln einer Sekunde. Um einen direkten Blick auf die Dynamik im Mikrokosmos werfen zu können, nutzen Forscher extrem kurze Röntgen- oder Elektronenblitze. So können schnelle Bewegungen von Atomen und Molekülen in einem Moment festgehalten werden und es werden feinste Unterschiede in der Anordnung und Orientierung atomarer Strukturen sichtbar. Physiker und Chemiker der Universität Göttingen haben unter Beteiligung von Forschern des Göttinger Max-Planck-Instituts (MPI) für biophysikalische Chemie ein neues Verfahren entwickelt, die Dynamik einzelner atomarer und molekularer Lagen zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse sind in der renommierten Fachzeitschrift Science erschienen. (more…)

Graphene Membranes May Lead To Enhanced Natural Gas Production, Less CO2 Pollution, Says CU Study

Engineering faculty and students at the University of Colorado Boulder have produced the first experimental results showing that atomically thin graphene membranes with tiny pores can effectively and efficiently separate gas molecules through size-selective sieving.

The findings are a significant step toward the realization of more energy-efficient membranes for natural gas production and for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from power plant exhaust pipes.

Mechanical engineering professors Scott Bunch and John Pellegrino co-authored a paper in Nature Nanotechnology with graduate students Steven Koenig and Luda Wang detailing the experiments. The paper was published Oct. 7 in the journal’s online edition. (more…)

It may take years before scientists determine the full impact of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But, utilizing the human-occupied submersible Alvin and the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Sentry, researchers are about to investigate—and view first-hand—the possible effects of the spill at the bottom of the Gulf.

And, from Dec. 6-14, the mission will be relayed to the public as it happens on the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s (WHOI) Dive and Discover website (https://divediscover.whoi.edu). (more…)
