Five years of aerosol remote sensing in Mindelo—a milestone in atmospheric research in the

For five years now, a distinctive green laser beam has been shining at night up to 30 kilometers (19 miles) above the harbor of the island's capital. It forms part of a high-energy lidar with which the Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Research (TROPOS) operates continuous aeroso

Artificial DNA tiles could deliver drugs and monitor neurons non-disruptively

Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as the outer membrane. Neuroscientists and medical researchers have long been trying to devise effective methods to measure this exchange of ions, which is kn
