Deeper Understanding of the Physics of Complex Liquids
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of soft matter, such as liquids and gels, through a fundamental extension of density functional theory and the discovery of a previously hidden gauge invariance. New "hyper-density functionals" enable the systematic study of fundamental physical mechanisms behind structure formation, while new equations provide insights into the underlying forces. The research was recognised with three "Editors' Suggestions." ...more
On the way to optical logic gates
In a collaboration between scientists from Physics and Chemistry at the University of Bayreuth and Physical Chemistry at the University of Melbourne, it has now been possible to realize optically switchable photonic units that enable precise addressing of individual units. This will make it possible to reliably store and read binary information optically. ...more
