THE following account of a simple experiment may be of interest to some of the readers of NATURE. The common peg-top and tee-totum are commonly referred to as affording a good example of the ...

The results of the 250-day experiment were published in the renowned scientific journal Science Advances. Lead author Prof. K. Ulrich Schreiber from the TUM Institute of Engineering for Astronomical ...

As Earth moves through space, it wobbles slightly. A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Bonn has now succeeded in measuring these fluctuations in ...

Much of the 'memory' of the world and all our digital activities are based on media, hard disks, where the information is encoded thanks to magnetism, by orienting the spin of electrons in one ...
