Thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions

Single-molecule junctions have been extensively used to probe properties as diverse as electrical conduction1,2,3, light emission4, thermoelectric energy conversion5,6, quantum interference7,8, heat dissipation9,10 and electronic noise11 at atomic and molecular scales. However, a key quantity of current interest—the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions—has not yet been directly experimentally determined, owing to the challenge of…

Exhibition opening:<br>ARCHÄOLOGIE<br>IN BADEN

Museum visitors become users: The exhibition ‘ARCHÄOLOGIE IN BADEN’ breaks new ground in interactive mediation. Depending on interest, the user can access the museum holdings - interactively, multimedia and in direct contact with the exhibit. A scientist, the “explainer”, presents original objects. The aura becomes immediately perceptible.


‘ARCHÄOLOGIE IN BADEN’ is the pilot project for the new museum concept of the Badisches Landesmuseum. The exhibition was created in cooperation with the HTWG…
