The climate transition, energy supply and technological development are just some examples of areas where knowledge from several disciplines needs to come together to find relevant solutions. Engineering students are therefore often given the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary projects. But the term "interdisciplinary" encompasses widely differing ideas about what the teaching should involve and what students are actually expected to learn. This is shown by a study in which researchers interviewed 18 teachers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, Aalto University in Finland and Aalborg University in Denmark. The paper is published in the Journal of Engineering Education.
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that charged states made of two electrons and a positively charged hole (or vice versa) on atomically thin rolls of carbon atoms have a structure-derived "handedness" in how they interact with light. While electron-hole pairs, or "excitons," were known to keep the chirality of the underlying nanotube, the team showed that adding a charge to create "trions" does not change this property.
