New Nanomethod Paves the Way for New Measuring Technology and Hypersensitive Sensors Nov 21, 2009
Co-authors are Igor Zoric and Bengt Kasemo, all in chemical physics at Chalmers. The discoveries pave the way both for new measurement techniques in the nano field and the development of entirely new, hypersensitive sensors. (Science Daily)
Champagne scientists get to the bottom of bubble puzzle Sep 30, 2009
A team led by Gerard Liger-Belair, a University of Reims chemical physics professor, studied what happened when sparkling wine bubbles exploded. Comparing the turmoil witnessed raging above the champagne glass with the fury of the sea, they noted how a ''myriad of ascending bubbles collapse and radiate'' particles into the air, generating the ''very characteristic and refreshing aerosols.
